Big Trouble possibly lies ahead for Florida...

I'm an alarmist?

Last year, I predicted six major hurricanes...and I was called an alarmist.
I predicted two major hurricane landfalls in the US...I was called an alarmist.

I do not expect any Category 5's this year, FYI.

I wouldn't have called you alarmist for those two predictions, but I'll be watching.

Yea...not an EXTREME year.

5 US landfalls in all (COMPARED TO 9 IN 2004)
3 Hurricanes (COMPARED TO 5 IN 2004)
2 MAJORS (COMPARED TO 3 IN 2004)

Famous last words here, but Floyd is somewhat of an alarmist. To amuse myself, I'm going to count how many Cat 5's he spins up this year.

Big Dog, your comments are uncalled for. Please refrain from this type of posting. He voiced his opinion and last time I checked, that is allowed here.

As was I. I'll respond to this via PM.

Floydbuster always gives the reasoning behind his forecasts and predictions, and as far as I can recall, that reasoning has always been pretty sound. That makes the "alarmist" label uncalled-for, IMHO.

Keep it up, floydbuster, we appreciate your work.

I responded to Lindaloo privately. I don't wish to start a flame war here. I think he knows why I said what I did, but if he doesn't, I'm happy to discuss it with him in PM.

Thanks Big Dog.

If anyone is looking for a huge warm-up across Florida and the Gulf Coast to get these SST's warmer it won't be happening anytime soon.

A change of patterns will occur this weekend with a ridge positioning itself across the Plain States producing a deep East Coast Trough keeping the Great Lakes, Northeast Cold. The Southeast will also feel the affects of this trough as it will drag a Cold Front through the GOM and bring with it Cooler than 80's Weather along with Less Humid Air.

Doesn't matter anyway, the waters are going to be 80+ come June. Just wanted to point out a change in the overall pattern across the Eastern CONUS. This will also build a Ridge over the GOM and another one across the Eastern Atlantic.

No need to speculate what exactly will happen, what happen, happens.
