Western Caribbean and Nicholas???

#1 Postby Stormsfury » Sun Oct 26, 2003 1:02 pm

Western Caribbean dominated by low-level easterly flow and what's that low-level swirl at 28ºN, 50ºW? ... leftovers of Nicholas... yep, that's right, leftovers of Nicholas...

I followed it with a 4 day 96 frame loop from the University of Illinois if you're wondering.

Good job tracking that Stormsfury! If Nicholas comes back, and somehow get's into the Western Caribben, I will truly be amazed.

The Western Caribbean will have to wait a while IF anything is to get going in that region.

The remnants of Nicholas is quite tenacious and still a separate entity of its own. It'll never make the Caribbean ... but it's POSSIBLE that Bermuda may get some unsettled weather from the leftovers in the next few days.

But so far this season, I would not even rule out another major hurricane. It has been a crazy year!

There have been storms to make comebacks and southwestward to westward movements in the past.

Kyle was not only long-lived, but made it the United States coast after the chances weren't that high for it to do so.

There was one model that showed "Nicholas" making a westward turn.

"Nicholas" or what's left of him could do some crazy things. It would not in the least bit surprise me the way the season has gone.

This morning's TWO by Stewart mentioned that the remnants of Nick were moving SW into warmer water.

I have a gut feelng that the Caribbean will get busy at the end of the week.

The Caribbean could get busy if what's left of Nicholas tries to reform. Could be a rare late season threat for the Atlantic side of Florida or the mid atlantic even if it decides to get it's act and hang together.

Doubt it. The current Eastern trough setup progged will prevent Nicholas from getting past 65W.

The Caribbean is pretty quiet now, but needs to be monitored in the next week.

I won't be surprised if Nicholas regains an identity. I doubt it gets any farther than 65ºW though (Bermuda might have some unsettled weather) but the progressive pattern across the East with general troughiness should proclude any threat from Nicholas.

The Caribbean looks quiet ... however, that's the area to be monitored this time of season ... plus the surprise Cape Verde disturbance.
