Nadine produced good ACE numbers (12.2900) Now it is poised to get some more.

[CrazyC83]

How far east can she go? Landfall in Europe?

From tropical to subtropical to extratropical to tropical again, decide once and for all what you want to be Nadine

They now forecast for it to become a hurricane again and last at least five more days heading west!

Haha, lol

Also Storm2k tracking map needs updating.

Looks a little bit like she wants to circle around back to the Azores again for a second try.

Not again...

Here is an interesting articule about long lasting Storms and Hurricanes that fits very good with what Nadine is doing.

http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/browar ... 4494.story

Since 1851, when tropical record-keeping started, only 11 storms — out of 1,490 — have lasted more than 21 days. The top among them, the San Ciriaco hurricane, existed an astonishing 33 days in 1899. On average, systems last about seven days.

But are these freaks something South Floridians should worry about? The answer: It depends.

September is prime time for such storms, with eight of the 11 longest emerging then. The reason: Ocean waters are warmest, tropical waves still are rolling off the coast of Africa, and steering currents are weak.

"The key is for them to be in area where they don't move much," said Chris Landsea, science and operations officer for the National Hurricane Center. "They just kind of get stuck in an area where there's very little steering flow. That can often occur in the middle of the Atlantic."

Still, two long-lived storms struck North Carolina and three hit Florida, including Hurricane Ivan in 2004, Hurricane Inez in 1966 and a hurricane in 1893.

As for this season, Nadine might make a run for the record books, as it has been swirling in the Atlantic since Sept. 11 as a hurricane and tropical storm. After falling apart on Friday night, it regenerated into a tropical storm on Sunday and is forecast to restrengthen into a hurricane again. It is expected to aim generally northeast —toward Europe.

Storms last longer when there is low wind shear and a moist environment and they are far from land, said Sharan Majumdar, an associate professor of meteorology and oceanography at the University of Miami's Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science.

"These very long-lived tropical cyclones are normally fairly large and intense storms," he said. "They have usually made it to hurricane status during some stage of their long lifetimes."

Sometimes it delays the updating but Nadine is back on the graphic.

Thankfully, we have the GlobalHawk now!!! Which has been cruising around Nadine since last night. I remember Kyle in 2002...he hit NC as a TS a few months after we moved back down there.

Interesting article... I like it.

I believe it will last all the way into October. That'll be like 3 weeks already for Nadine.

Nadine's vying for the title of 2012's most interesting storm.

[WeatherGuesser]

Map at the top of the page seems to have lost the previous days. I know that's probably due to how it's programmed with the status changes, but there must be some way to restore it in unusual cases.

Out of S2Ks control, though Is the makers of phpBB.

Nadine came back from the dead.
