I know! techniquely we should be at 9-7-2 not 9-2-2...
so I take it that if Irene upgrades to hurricane status it would be 9-3-2?
9 named storms, 3 hurricanes, 2 major hurricanes. IF Irene makes hurricane status..it may not.

And busting a forecast means he needs to go back to meteorology school? Hes given indepth discussions on why he was wrong, etc...Sanibel wrote:I remember somebody quoting DT saying the ridge would definitely take Irene west and towards the coast.
Made a big call and he blew it. Wasn't the first, won't be the last.

I think we should be at 9-4-2. I really think Irene had hurricane winds last night when she had deep convection. I also think Cindy had hurricane winds at landfall (I live in New Orleans and we definitely got hurricane gusts). I'm pretty confident the rest weren't though.

Cindy however...Recon and surface obs may support an upgrade in best track?

here is a recon reported position of Irene in the VDM from yesterday and the latest position in the latest VDM today.
approximately 22 hours apart.
12/20:23:10Z 28 deg 32 min N 067 deg 15 min W
13/18:29:50Z 30 deg 53 min N 069 deg 22 min W
if my math is correct, between these two points Irene has moved 318 degrees or just N of NW. NW is 315.

I don't get it they say that out of these to systems (Arlene, and Cindy) they say That Cindy was the better system.
but Arlene had a lower central pressure (989 millibars) then Cindy (997 millibars). Why was Cindy the better system?
Arlene Track
Cindy Track

well that is a while to me
a while to me is 3 hours or more because it is the amount of time between the models and the advisory meaning I must of missed one of them
