Repeat of Barry....

If you look on this infrared loop, the wave heading through the Caribbean looks rather similar to the wave that tracked across the Atlantic, became nothing, gave rain as it crossed the islands of the Caribbean, then SOAKED Florida, then became a TS/Hurricane landfall in the panhandle of Florida.....

Dang..It also looks like the other 1 million that have fizzled out...

[chadtm80]

Yes your right Aquawind.. lol

Its nice to see the waves "holding" on per say though. It has made it all the way across the atlantic with at least pop corn storms the whole time. Wont be long

If there is an area to watch in the Atlantic this is it, south of Haiti. Wave in the central atlantic is impressive as well. We can watch these since they get through the doldrums of early summer!

I remember Barry to well, got a 68mph wind gust at my weather station and got just inside the western eye for about 20 min. and could see the ring around the western eye. We didn't get much in the way of rainfall, only 4"-5" out of him but some wind damage, shingles, signs, tree's, limbs and an occasion roof blown off. Just the kind of TC you would want to have visit if you must be visited!

I stayed up the night it made landfall and watched it. I was screaming at the NHC as to why they didn't upgrade to a hurricane, LOL, I just wanted to say a hurricane had made landfall in the U.S.(1999 was the last one)

It's possible Barry may have just reached hurricane intensity. However, the NHC concluded there wasn't enough evidence to indicate it had.

Agree, the NHC couldn't find sustained winds of hurricane force, but alot of gust damage indicated that at least some gusts approached 80mph. Who is to say what was occuring just over the Gulf and over Choctawatchee Bay as it did make landfall.

Dean, didn't you lose power just as the eye wall passed over? ..........MGC

It may not be the shadow of Barry, but the Dominican Republic and Haiti are receiving extremely amounts of rain. They need more rain?

I think Barry became a hurricane twice in it's lifetime. Once on the morning of August 5, 2001 it hit 80 mph for a short amount of time. I believe it happened at 1332 on this loop:

I think Barry then weakened quickly from 80 mph to 70 mph, then became a hurricane at about 0638 on this loop:

Therefore, I believe that "Hurricane Barry" reached a peak of 80 mph and 989 MB, and made landfall with winds of 75 mph and 992 MB.

I was actually in the process of getting the information in the above link typed up into a "code" post. When I got to the point to finally post it I got an error and had to log back onto the site.

I was also going to mention, no matter what happens we can sort of follow the movement of this wave with the plotted points of the center of Barry back in 2001.

I know. That is why I brought it up.
