they misspelled "anna"

5/7/2015 8:05:13 AM

Name storm or not, it's most likely going to ruin the weather this weekend.

5/7/2015 9:13:30 AM

you can't have in the same year "Claudette" and "Odette", that's just poor namesmanship

if we do get down to W, looking forward to "A Hurricane Named Wanda" puns

5/7/2015 1:57:02 PM

Doubt we even make it halfway down the list so it shouldnt be a worry haha. Looks to be a slow year especially for any stronger storms.

if I were a billionaire, I would find and fuck a woman with each hurricane-name, every year

this also goes for the even slightly androgynous names like Danny and Sam

Didn't they say this was probably going to be a slow hurricane season? Watch, we'll probably run out of names.

5/8/2015 8:29:41 AM

TD #4!

8/18/2015 10:27:33 AM

A piece of the tip just got me, Odette.

8/18/2015 1:16:33 PM

CAT 3 BITCHESSSSS

8/21/2015 3:48:38 PM

And back to tropical storm status.

8/24/2015 9:17:44 AM

Fuck Danny. I'm on the Invest 98 train!

8/24/2015 10:23:08 AM

Invest 98 is now Tropical Storm Erika!



The latest EURO run has Erika as a 940mb low off the SC coast by next Thursday night, lol

No.
No.

I'm heading to EI in 2 weeks and I don't need that shit potentially destroying my vacation.

8/25/2015 11:13:07 AM

They're saying the jet stream will deflect it back into the atlantic before it hits the US.

I hope that's not true and it drill pecks south florida. Could use a little excitement around here.

8/25/2015 11:34:03 AM

Puerto Rico could use the rain.

This won't hit the US.

8/25/2015 12:03:17 PM

^^

and other models show a ridge forming so Erika wouldn't get as much steering current and has a higher probability of landfall on the SE coast.

8/25/2015 12:28:57 PM

So Erika...picking up steam?

8/25/2015 11:25:53 PM

^The latest models have it developing less, than the model 24 hours ago. So I'd say not really.

8/26/2015 10:13:21 AM

So I'm flying out of Tampa at 5pm on Sunday. Should i worry?

8/26/2015 10:22:33 AM

^I wouldn't worry, unless your flight gets delayed. Too much land interaction is likely w/ Puerto Rico and Haiti/Dominican Republic in close proximity along the current expected path, reducing the strengthening capabilities of the storm.

8/26/2015 10:32:16 AM

Seems like we're not getting that land interaction folks were counting on. By Friday we'll know what we're dealing with.

8/26/2015 10:20:03 PM

^Agree with your Friday assessment, but I wouldn't rule out that land interaction just yet. The latest (06z) model runs (that shifted the cone path to the east) are further north at 12z than the current location of the center of the storm. So, there may be a westward pull to the 12z model runs.

The 0z GFS run is scary!

This is hugo

8/27/2015 1:39:44 PM

^?

Latest forecasts have it tracking mostly on land. Prob won't even reach hurricane status. Maybe a big rain event?

8/28/2015 8:42:39 AM

^The models all shifted west after my last post. I jinxed it.

8/28/2015 3:10:10 PM

So I've been in Hawaii for a little over a year now... before I got her the big island had never had a hurricane make landfall.

Literally the weekend I was supposed to arrive last year was the first time it had been hit in recorded history. We're now tracking our third major tropical storm/hurricane of this summer. So far we've been lucky that they've veered off track or weakened before hitting us, but it looks like we might catch a category 1 early next week.

8/29/2015 12:00:57 AM

Lol they issued a state of emergency in florida yesterday

This morning i wake up to a noaa alert that erika dissipated. GG

9/29/2015 12:34:54 PM

whats the reason for such an abrupt sharp turn north like that?

9/29/2015 1:13:10 PM

Well at least I gave you a reason to be indoors that day JT3bucky lol

"whats the reason for such an abrupt sharp turn north like that?"

Offshore blocking high pressure and incoming cold front from the NW. Really need to watch this, even if it (by NHC standards) doesn't "strengthen". Could be looking at a nor'easter by the weekend.

9/29/2015 2:45:02 PM

Well NHC finally starting to strengthen their forecast. That upper low that cuts off to the west this weekend will likely be the catalyst for this storm to really blow up, just hope that track takes it further east and north of NC. Some very impressive rainfall accumulations for central/eastern NC through Sunday for some of the latest model runs (some up to a foot of rain!).

9/29/2015 9:33:04 PM

Today and tomorrow will be interesting to watch as shear lessens and it churns over record warm waters in that area.

9/30/2015 8:57:21 AM

so tell me...are we all going to be swept away this weekend? Does the Raleigh Dome have any chance against this?

9/30/2015 10:02:18 AM

Ugggg...I'm trying to move this weekend and I currently live in Atlantic Beach. Hurricanes are pissing me off this year.

9/30/2015 10:52:32 AM

^good luck with that!

9/30/2015 12:39:15 PM

Tomorrow the earliest we can be sure about a forecast?

9/30/2015 1:04:36 PM

Okay so I know this is jumping the gun, but since I can't remember the last time we had a hurricane directly impact NC...do they cancel public school for something like this?

9/30/2015 1:09:26 PM

^Yeah, I'd say so. Any landfall would likely be during the weekend (late Sat into Sun morning), so it may not...though if there is considerable damage (downed trees/power lines/flooding), expect Monday to be closed (and possibly other subsequent days)---depending on your location of course.

9/30/2015 1:26:17 PM

Goddamnit. Just got new roof put up on the house today. Although I am not really sure if that's a good or bad thing.

This isnt looking good...

9/30/2015 1:49:34 PM

^^^^unless the eye comes near Raleigh and there are massive power outages NCSU won't cancel classes. It'd be stupid to. Last big hurricane to severely impact was (correct me if I'm wrong) Floyd. And NCSU didn't blink an eye for that one.

9/30/2015 2:22:09 PM

I live in Virginia Beach. You know I'm watching this Joaquin storm.
