Not exactly.

Isabel was above 20 N when it was only 50 W.

Andrew reached 20 N at 60 W.

So there are exceptions.


I know that is why I said some what.

Actually, his latest discussion has been the first I've seen about this system. There are also some other pro mets agreeing with him.

I believe its the Saharan Air Layer. The sand in the air from the Saharan. It kills storms.

All depends on where it goes north of 20.


Dora in 1964 went North of 20N @ 60W, yet turned west again after reaching 27N @ 65W. Everyone back then thought it would be a fish. Yet it hit NE Florida as a weakening Cat3.


Isabell in 2003 hit 20N @ 48W, yet still managed to hit NC as a Cat 2.

I wish I was a fly somewhere on the NHC's Headquarter's wall. I would love to hear what they're saying to each other about this system.

well, this appears to be an obvious US East Coast threat. The UL to the north near 40W is not a player and Harvey is too small to weaken the ridge
