Looking at the Charleston radar loop, all I can say is wow. Sure isnt very clear, but there is an area of lower reflectivity surrounded by a ring of more intense convection

Yeah, I see it too :eek:

I agree. and if so I am wrong on the direction I was seeing based on the IR earlier

Take a look at the Jacksonville Radar Loop, it looks even more impressive:

I would expect the recon to find a strong tropical storm when they get there, probably winds of 60mph and pressure around 1000mbs. I think the system has a good shot of becoming a hurricane during the next 24 hours when it will be right under the ULH. Witness that now better developed LLC sitting on top of the VERY warm Gulf Stream waters and you know what that means....business!

So do I, but son't forget about last night... It looked a lot stronger than it actually was.... I think that they will find a stronger storm too....

Wheres my cup of coffee???

So did the rest of us.... Actually, there could be one......Developing.... Look at any radar in the SE vicinity, and you'll see a pretty good spin going on... http://www.srh.noaa.gov/radar/loop/DS.p ... kjax.shtml

Wow! That makes interesting this morning!

Direction based on radar is North/NE???

Is that the mid level circulation or the low level? Regardless, impressive.

Recon down to 992 mb, you may have your Hurricane by tonight, or sooner.

Pressure 992mb! That'a about the threshold for hurr. strength. Definately a more symetric system, Jim Cantore will probably be very excited in his live shots :lol:

although this storm is forecasted to stay offshore

Stormchaser16 · #14 Postby **Stormchaser16** » Mon Aug 02, 2004 7:52 am

Looks on SAT like its starting a NE movement...... unless that is just the storm expanding over the LLC IDK...... i do think it will stay offshore though

The 8am TPC statement actually said it was drifting east but should turn north or nne later today.

Three Blind Mice · #16 Postby **Three Blind Mice** » Mon Aug 02, 2004 7:57 am

Looking like fish bait now. wonder if Cape Fear will even feel any effects?

Won't be the first time for something like this.

So far it looks like as though Florida is the only on so far that has gone any signficant weather from Alex.........
