But the score isn't the important thing here. Hermine is headed RIGHT for us! Meaning MORE action right after Gaston! YOU GOTTA LOVE IT

EDIT: Or not. Turns out I spoke too soon. I just looked at the track. Dang, what a letdown

[Derek Ortt]

have had this ready for an hour, just waited for the official upgrade

but we have more named systems than the epac (thats what counts ). they are only up to Georgette.

[WeatherEmperor]

what do you mean? In the Atlantic with Hermine we have had 8 named storms. Where did the 10 come from?

<RICKY>

[wx247]

Td's I believe in the Epac make them higher.

[Hurricanehink]

The EPAC has had a couple of unnamed tropical depressions

[Brent]

There's only been 8 TD's

and FYI: Hermine will not affect land, OUT TO SEA.

[HouTXmetro]

Things are really picking up. Many named storms will we see this year?

[HURAKAN]

It may not be a significant storm but I think a RECON should investigate the system to be extra sure to where it's heading and its intensity. The NHC doesn't have a plan to investigate the system but that may change.

OPINIONS?

[Harbormaster]

Looks like it will be toast in a matter of hours based on the latest sat images.... any thoughts???

[New Englander]

Yeah i noticed that too. Kinda odd...

[Harbormaster]

Aside from the tropics, is that Route 44 project EVER going to be completed???? I notice that you are from the area.

[New Englander]

LOL tell me about.. there is some work finally done though from the kingston to carver area.. and there is part of an overpass in carver where it will connect when they are "finished"

[Hurricanehink]

They said they might investigate the area in two days ago's recon plan, but I guess they are confident it will do nothing.

TROPICAL STORM HERMINE DISCUSSION NUMBER 2
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
11 PM EDT SUN AUG 29 2004

SATELLITE INTENSITY ESTIMATES ARE T3.0 FROM TAFB AND T2.5 FROM BOTH
SAB AND AIRFORCE GLOBAL. BASED ON THIS THE INITIAL WIND SPEED IS
INCREASED TO 40 KTS. THE CENTER OF CIRCULATION IS LOCATED TO THE
NORTH OF THE AREA OF CONVECTION DUE TO VERTICAL SHEAR. THIS SAME
SHEAR SHOULD LIMIT DEVELOPMENT SOMEWHAT AND ONLY A SMALL INCREASE
IN INTENSITY IS FORECAST. ALSO...THE SYSTEM WILL BE MOVING AWAY
FROM THE WARM WATERS OF THE GULF STREAM INTO MUCH COOLER WATERS IN
THE NEXT 12 TO 24 HOURS.

THE CYCLONE IS MOVING TOWARD THE NORTH-NORTHWEST ABOUT 9 KNOTS
AROUND THE PERIPHERY OF A SUBTROPICAL RIDGE. A GRADUAL TURN TO THE
NORTH IS EXPECTED AND...BY 36 HOURS...THE CYCLONE SHOULD HAVE
MERGED WITH OR BEEN ABSORBED BY THE MUCH LARGER EXTRATROPICAL
CIRCULATION ASSOCIATED WITH GASTON. THIS MERGER OR ABSORPTION
MEANS THAT NO TROPICAL STORM WATCHES OR WARNING WILL BE NECESSARY.
HOWEVER...GALE WARNINGS MAY BE REQUIRED FOR THE EXTRATROPICAL LOW.

It won't be very strong, but it may maintain tropical storm intensity as it brushes Massachusetts--whether it will be truly tropical or just a gale is really the question...just expect some gustier winds starting along the Cape tomorrow morning.

[Hurricanehink]

Wow, it looks rather pathetic at the moment. It probably peaked at 5, where it had winds of 45 knots.
