ATL: ALPHA - Post-Tropical - Discussion

[869MB]

HAHAHAHA WOW

I have run out of things to say about this absolutely ridiculous season lmao, three storms in 24 hours, in the Greeks a month ahead of 2005, and blasted the September record for NS to smithereens

Yeah it is mind boggling for sure. I am speechless about this crazy season!!!!!

It saves them the embarrassment of an unnamed storm. I'd expect the actual start time to be moved back at least 24 hours and it would have been Wilfred if named at its actual time.

But on that note, an argument can also be made for Wilfred being classified before it was.

From the forecaster that wrote the advisory:

And with that, we now once again have four active systems at once in the Atlantic.

American NHC making advisories for a country next to mine. Surreal.

I know TD Vince made landfall around here in 2005 but will this be the first Tropical Storm or higher to hit this area on record?

[FireRat]

HOLY COW, Daaaaaamn!

What in the heck is going on, I go to bed and wake up to Willy and Alpha!! I guess 30+ systems this season is reasonable now, cheesus crust!

And Alpha is gonna make landfall in Portugal of all the places lol, and at the same time that Medicane in Greece, man the world is nuts this year. Beta coming soon to a Gulf near you too, this is absolute madness.

Yup and farther north than Vince too!

[Hypercane_Kyle]

This season is trying to exhaust the Greek alphabet too.

We're going to be up to Delta or Epsilon at this rate by the end of the month.

Apparently JB isn't an Alpha fan.....

[tropicwatch]

This is downright Bats*** crazy.

[KWT]

I actually can't believe that we have Alpha...making landfall in Portugal!

I mean can you get any more 2020 - TWO landfalling tropical cylcones within 36hrs...in EUROPE!

[EquusStorm]

How outright absurd is it that it's looking like Paulette coexists with Beta at this rate? We've gone so far off the rails the train is in the stratosphere

Seems like that guy has gone off the rails. Maybe we should stop posting him.

[Evil Jeremy]

And there it is. History made again. Still 2 1/2 months to go, and maybe some after that if the last time we entered the Greek alphabet. Didn't expect it to happen so soon. We will be at Beta before the end of today.

[galaxy401]

Lol we're going to have Beta and Paulette active at the same time aren't we while it's still not even the end of September. Just cancel the season already!

You can tell what circles JB runs in when the comments are full of people circlejerking about NHC's climate change "agenda"

His Twitter posts are just as bad looking at them. I think a new rule should be we don't quote him on here anymore. (Not a shot at you Enzo, just for future reference)

I've learned by now to ignore pretty much anything Bastardi says about tropical cyclones. He puts his politics first when it comes to TC forecasting.

I was expecting a more exciting buildup to reaching the greeks again for the first time in almost 15 years, but it all formed so quickly that I feel more jaded than excited
