Ooook since the sticky was locked...

#1 Postby Swimdude » Wed Jul 13, 2005 10:50 pm

Sticky was locked; so I have a quick question here...

FORECAST POSITIONS AND MAX WINDS

INITIAL 14/0300Z 11.9N 61.1W 80 KT
12HR VT 14/1200Z 12.5N 63.5W 85 KT
24HR VT 15/0000Z 13.4N 66.7W 90 KT
36HR VT 15/1200Z 14.5N 70.0W 95 KT
48HR VT 16/0000Z 15.5N 73.2W 100 KT
72HR VT 17/0000Z 17.5N 79.0W 100 KT
96HR VT 18/0000Z 19.5N 85.0W 100 KT
120HR VT 19/0000Z 21.0N 90.5W 90 KT


What's the 10 kt drop in intensity at 120HR? If that were landfall over the Yucatan, wouldn't it say "...inland" as it usually does?

landfall is in between the 96 hour and 120 hour points. Its already come onshore and come back offshore in that time.

I believe its just inland... but right on the coast. Regardless, the weakening is due to a landfall and likely will be more than that... unless of course this becomes a much stronger cane

I think its too soon to know. We need to see what it hits the Yucatan (or wherever it goes) as first.

Hurricanes that cause a lot of death and/or destruction get retired.

Dennis will be retired, he's the most recent.

Retiring is very common for strong storms. Dennis likely will, Charley and Ivan were, Andrew and Hugo, and on and on.

Check out these numbers I find them interesting in that more storms are retired during the active phase.

1954-1969 15 years 19 storm names retired

1970-1995 24 years 19 storm names retired

1995-2004 9 years 24 storm names retired

2005???????????? Dennis???

NHC brought it down from 100 kt to 65 kt on the 5pm advisory, now just by 10 kt They must be thinking she'll be much stronger(they do say intensity is likely conservative).

I noticed that as well. And I seriously doubt she'll be moving fast enough to only loose 10 knots... Or be strong enough.
