2010 Tropical Cyclone Reports

[cycloneye]

The National Hurricane Center's Tropical Cyclone Reports (formerly known as Preliminary Reports) contain comprehensive information on each tropical cyclone, including synoptic history, meteorological statistics, casualties and damages, and the post-analysis best track (six-hourly positions and intensities). All of the 2010 Tropical Cyclone Reports will be here in this first post as hyperlinks for the members to read and see all the data and analysis of each system in the Atlantic and the Eastern Pacific.

Could they have picked a worse storm to start with?

At least the rest of the early ones in each basin should be good (Alex for final intensity and overall MH, Bonnie for possibility of LA landfall as TD, Celia for info on C5, Darby for its quick MH, Agatha for final impact reports).

The minor storms always come first. I wouldn't expect to see the likes of Agatha, Celia, and Alex for a while yet.

EPAC Tropical Depression Two -E report is up. I may add, is a very short one.

[CrazyC83]

Six-E is also up.

[cycloneye]

They are doing the easy ones first.

[CrazyC83]

They are doing the easy ones first.

Makes sense. Bonnie, Colin, TD2 and TD5 will probably all be fairly quick and easy, although they might find data supporting an upgrade of TD2 at landfall? As for the other early ones, Alex I see little basis to change its intensity unless there is surface data supporting an upgrade (I would have 90 kt/946mb at landfall).

EPAC system Tropical Storm Estelle report is up at the first post of thread.

[cycloneye]

The Cyclone Report of Tropical Storm Agatha is up at the first post of thread. Still none of the Cyclones of the Atlantic has had a report yet.

[Macrocane]

Thanks for Agatha's report cycloneye! I think they only mention the 24 hours rainfall on the day Agatha made landfall but the total rainfall from Agatha reached 19 inches in some locations, anyways it's an interesting report and it's nice to see that the SNET in El Salvador did a good job providing information to the NHC.

[cycloneye]

I am awaiting two reports, Alex to see if at some point reached cat 3 status and Tropical Depression Two to see if at some point reached TS Status. Will invests 92L (MDR area) and 95L (NGOM) be added to the list of TC's?

[Hurricanehink]

I am interested if TD 11E will be upgraded to TS status. The RBT had it as a TS, and there was an eye-like feature on radar.

[Andrew92]

I'm a bit surprised to see the Agatha report this early. I would have expected an easier report like Colin or something to come out instead.

In my opinion, since they specifically mentioned the sinkhole in the Casualty/Damage section, I think a media picture (citing their source) as a Figure 4 would have enhanced the report. Surprised too that there weren't any official observations from Guatemala, despite all the problems there.

[Macrocane]

I agree with you Andrew92, I think they may update it later this year.

[Ad Novoxium]

Tropical cyclone landfalls in Guatemala are rare events. During the period of reliable records in the eastern Pacific, only one other tropical storm has made landfall in Guatemala – Simone on 19 October 1968. In addition, Tropical Storm Barbara made landfall just west of the Mexico-Guatemala border – not far from where Agatha made landfall – on 2 June 1997.

Oops.

[cycloneye]

The first Atlantic report is up and that is TS Colin.Also,they released the EPAC reports of Powerful Hurricane Celia (Cat 5 for a short time) and on Hurricane Frank.Read the reports at the first post of thread.

[Florida1118]

Cant wait to see what they have to say about Julia.

[Macrocane]

They put a picture of the anemic Colin and didn't put one of the beautiful Celia, why?

[KWT]

Yep Colin was one of the easier ones for the NHC to start with...

[cycloneye]

It has been very slow the release of the reports on the Atlantic side but, I am sure the pace of releasing them will pick up in November.
