A "loop" and a "fish" are two different things even if a system ultimately moves out to sea.

Thurs,Friday show NE motion, not a big loop anymore. Seems to me the NHC is leaning towards a fish storm.

A slow (NE or any direction) movement is also indicative of a possible loop in a three to five day forecast.

Well, I wouldn't say it was/is a fish. Jeanned killed some people in the Carribean, I believe. I would say it looks now like she may not hit mainland USA>

The general definition for a "fish storm" is a tropical cyclone that doesn't directly affect the United States coastline... from Brownsville, Texas to Eastport, Maine.

What happened to the massive high pressure that was going to turn it west?

It still exists, hence the uncertain movement in the coming days; along with the strong trough and the very slow steering pattern it is currently in.

I know you're a well-respected Storm2K contributor, but I disagree with the definition you give.

It is insensitive and ignorant of us to define a storm as an exclusive "fish spinner" if it has had a major impact on any land mass, especially since it has caused deaths.
Such a definition leaves the less-informed believing it to have been harmless.

That said...
What should we call a storm that never hits the CONUS?

I honestly don't believe a system that affected a landmass is called a "fish." That is why I used the word "general."

A storm that never hits the CONUS is a "fish."
