Otto is crawling

RD34NE = 150NM RD34SE = 60NM RD34SW = 60NM RD34NW = 150NM

At this 00:00 UTC model run moving barely at 2 kts.Weak steering currents in that area is keeping Otto almost in the same place in a drift movement.Soon enough the shear from the west will reach the storm starting the weakening phase but until it gets there the storm will move slowly and hang on as a weak to moderate storm as water temps are too cool 23C for a more stronger system.

Almost all the hurricane models with some of the Globals show the system going east or even east-southeast. Which would move the system over warmer waters.

It looks to be moving slowly to the east-southeast.

Interesting I wonder if this has anything to do with it possibly heading towards warmer waters.

Nope...too lazy to go look (burnout).
Would you care to give us a synopsis?

Man this is funny....
Otto is almost like a curtain call.

It was like one of the longest living storms in history. It made it to the east coast.

Thanks for the graphic.
Too bad it doesn't make a nice analog here, though.
Kyle was a september storm and had more opportunity to find warm water.
Otto is just the tropics closing curtain call, and a lame one at that (yipee!)

Ok, so I lied... here's the link for those of us too worn out from this season to search.

Florida practically received nothing from Kyle ... all of the associated convection was north and east of the center ... to be quite frank, I've owned hair dryers that blew faster than Kyle's winds ...

Otto has no chance in hades to make it this far over ...

we don't want another kyle. in a way, i guess that this years jeanne was like kyle, in the fact that no-one knew where it would go and it just... lingered for a while. COME ON PAULA! (which we should've had.... except for IVAN THE SECOND!)

LOL. I know Otto is not heading there, but I was stating I would not want it to if the convection were strong.
