TD#9

[Ivanhater]

this should become irene soon

[superfly]

Luis, will this be considered the first Cape Verde system of the season?

YES.

Emily was the first CV storm imo.

[WeatherEmperor]

As all we know, by tonight or tomorrow morning this will become the earliest that the 9th system reaches tropical storm intensity. Will Irene follow Isabel and Ivan's path of intensity? Time will tell, but the answer is around the corner.

Now wouldnt that be scary, Sandy?

Cape verde storms are some of the largest.

[Tampa Bay Hurricane]

Something good that I can find in all the bad. Because the system is so huge, it will have to struggle more to intensify than if it where a smaller cyclone. But, as always in life there is a "but," the system has a long way and lot of warm water to transverse. Thereafter, even it may intensify at a slower pace, it will be a major in a few days.

[WeatherEmperor]

just look how quickly this threat has grown. amazing....

If it takes awhile to intensify then a less northerly track is likely.

[Ivanhater]

Scary but extremely interesting!!!

[Matt-hurricanewatcher]

Typhoons over the western pacific bomb all the time. In some of them are huge. Remember Typhoon Tips,Floyd? So yes these systems can be ever bit as strong.

[Scorpion]

This will likely be as large as Floyd. Can't wait to see this thing explode, its gonna be beautiful.

Usually Cape Verde systems are referred to those forming from tropical waves and that develop before crossing 40 degrees West of longitude. Emily formed around 42, and I would like to call her a Cape Verde system. Unfortunately, she formed outside the ring of fire!!!! Well, she was on fire!!!

Yes, but if it intensifies at a slower pace, it will be more likely to go farther west and will be more likely to make landfall.

No need for that.

[DESTRUCTION5]

This is what I alluded to last week..I was waiting for a TD to form around 40W and roll West....Here she is!!!

Exactly, and GOOD POINT!!!

and as luck would have it, the intensity forecast is the most difficult part of a tropical cyclone forecast.
