Running Tropical Storm Hanna thread

[OnTheRiver]

Gonna be a long couple weeks.

THE AREA OF LOW PRESSURE ASSOCIATED WITH A TROPICAL WAVE THAT HAS
BEEN TRACKED WESTWARD ACROSS THE TROPICAL ATLANTIC FOR THE PAST
SEVERAL DAYS HAS DEVELOPED ENOUGH SURFACE CIRCULATION AND DEEP
ORGANIZED CONVECTION TO BE CLASSIFIED AS A TROPICAL DEPRESSION. A
SHIP VERY NEAR THE CENTER ALSO REPORTED A PRESSURE OF 1005 MB NEAR
THE CENTER. DVORAK T-NUMBERS FROM BOTH TAFB AND SAB ARE 2.5 AND 2.0
RESPECTIVELY. INITIAL INTENSITY HAS BEEN SET AT 30 KNOTS. ALTHOUGH
THE CENTER IS ESTIMATED TO BE ON THE NORTHWESTERN PORTION OF THE
CONVECTION...THE PREVAILING NORTHWESTERLY SHEAR OVER THE CYCLONE
HAS BEEN GRADUALLY ABATING AND THE OUTFLOW IS BECOMING ESTABLISHED
IN ALL QUADRANTS. MOST OF THE GLOBAL MODELS SUGGEST THAT RIDGING
WILL PREVAIL ALOFT...RESULTING IN AN ENVIRONMENT OF LIGHT SHEAR. A
GRADUAL INTENSIFICATION IS FORECAST IN AGREEMENT WITH THE SHIPS
INTENSITY MODEL...AND THE DEPRESSION WILL LIKELY BECOME A TROPICAL
STORM LATER TODAY AND COULD REACH HURRICANE INTENSITY IN 3 DAYS.
THE HWRF AND GFDL MODELS ARE MORE AGGRESSIVE...PREDICTING AN
INTENSE HURRICANE.

Jeez Louise.

Looks like the same upper-level high that's steering Gustav west will pull this one (not named Hanna yet) west into the Atlantic seaboard.

Computer models at Weather Underground have her turning southwest after the big northwest curve and making life interesting in the Bahamas. Presumably she would turn due west into the Straits of Florida after that.

More fun for the Gulf Coast.

Gulf?? Coast?

Long-range models have it taking a southerly dip after that western turn.

Don't see that very often.

With that ever-so-slight dip south at the end of that cone, that resembles another hurricane that improbably dipped south

While one letter short it's still too easy to pass up.

Models for this one have it taking a sharp dip south, almost a 45-degree angle. Andrew's was about 3 degrees.

But where it goes after that dip has not been calculated yet.

A new wave is just rolling off the African coast. It's going to be a long September.

And probably October.

Bumping back up so nobody's tempted to D_B.

Right into the GOMEX pipeline.

So this thread is about being overrated then?

Your opinion sucks! I'd hit it with no regrets and she's not as awful as ... well, 70 percent of the SportsCenter hosts.

Assuming we don't burn through the South Park jokes first.

Ready, Ike? Kick the hurricane!
don't kick the hurricane

And of course, the K storm is ... Kyle.

Stan was retired in 2005 after killing a bunch of people in Mexico, the closest we'll get to Kenny is Kenneth on the 2011 Pacific list, and I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for Hurricane Cartman, Tweak, Butters, Token or Mr. Hankey.

Welcome to the heart of Hurricane season, folks.

Re: More unwanted guests in the Atlantic: Tropical Storm Hanna

The new batch of info has Hanna making a more northwest motion later. Good news for SoFla, bad news for anywhere from Jacksonville to Cape Hatteras.

The 5-day looks bad. A lot depends on what's on that sixth day -- does she keep turning back towards Greenland and make a beeline towards Florida?



Now I've seen that (map at the top of this page updates automagically). Savannah, you're on the clock.
