Tropical Storm Laura
liquidjp replied to Cookie's topic in Hurricanes, Cyclones and Extreme weather worldwide
Could be... depending on how far north into the jet it goes, we could be looking at some very "summery" weather this weekend... -
Atlantic Invest Thread 2008
liquidjp replied to kold weather's topic in Hurricanes, Cyclones and Extreme weather worldwide
Are the systems just coming off the coast of africa likely to be worth noting or is it too early to tell, the SST around there seems warm enough for development. -
Major Hurricane Ike

THe latest from good old 42361 Wind Direction (WDIR): E ( 90 deg true ) Wind Speed (WSPD): 56.3 kts Atmospheric Pressure (PRES): 28.58 in The wind speed has massivle dropped, significatly (I think) wind direction has also changed... could the eye, such that it is be passing over? edit: no pressure isn't falling -

Without wanting to personify Ike further, it's almost as if he is acting like an inpetulant child just to p*** off the NHC!! -

RE: high and low tides the tidal range at Gaveston and surrounding costline is only about 1-2ft maximum so even a hit at low tide would not offer much relief from the surge. (meant to post ages ago but building just got lightninged!) -
Major Hurricane Ike
liquidjp replied to Iceberg's topic in Hurricanes, Cyclones and Extreme weather worldwide
Ah contraire I still have to look up loads of the abreviations!! But given we have sustained winds of 108!!kts now at our little buoy (bit oil rig) are we expencting the NHC up up the forcast? Why are the NHC giving forcasts/advisories in 3 time zones, am sure they don't usually do? -

Major Hurricane Ike

How strong are these thing, could it take a direct hit from a severly misbehaving hurricane and still transmit? -
Major Hurricane Ike
liquidjp replied to Iceberg's topic in Hurricanes, Cyclones and Extreme weather worldwide
The mountains to the west of Havanna arne't going to do it a lot of good if it goes straight over them, but if Ike tracks slightly north through the gap...and dirctly over Havanna, it will probobally be in a healthier state. What are we talking about 4-5 hours overland? -
Major Hurricane Ike
liquidjp replied to Iceberg's topic in Hurricanes, Cyclones and Extreme weather worldwide
The NHC are essentially saying they really have little idea where this is going as of an hour or so ago. Certainly makes for "fun" times along the GOM... -
Major Hurricane Ike
liquidjp replied to Iceberg's topic in Hurricanes, Cyclones and Extreme weather worldwide
Indeed... where are the models taking him? further west and through 'the gap' or NW hugging the cuba coast and back over Cuba? The former is better for Havana I guess. The evacuation question is a biggie, and am sure many are wrongly accusing naggin of now having egg on his face after the near miss with Gustav. I think many will not shift out a second time in one season, which could be very bad news is Ike tracks back eastwards. -
Hurricane Gustav Pt II
liquidjp replied to shuggee's topic in Hurricanes, Cyclones and Extreme weather worldwide
Bit off topic as it's not net.levees but i think that given that NO didn't take the full hit of hurricane force winds the levees will hold, just, but there may be some overtopping, and certainly some flooding in central NO due to heavy rain. The downside of this is that when people return to a larely intact city (a good thing) they will question why they evacuated and may not be so eager too next time (a bad thing). There is a lot of tornado activity east of NO at the moment, if Gus is taking a shifty to the west this could be bad news. -

Radar here shows tornado activity. http://radar.weather.gov/ridge/radar.php?r...111&loop=no -
Hurricane Gustav
liquidjp replied to Iceberg's topic in Hurricanes, Cyclones and Extreme weather worldwide
sorry this is off topic a bit but interesting, my curiosity was piqued so i did a bit of research, it seems if the storms are of comparable strengh they orbit each other something called the fujiwahra effect. That would be something amazing to see if it were two major hurricanes (well from a long distance away anyhow!) -
Hurricane Gustav
liquidjp replied to Iceberg's topic in Hurricanes, Cyclones and Extreme weather worldwide
I think this last happened when Wilma and Alpha (a TS) collided in 2005, the beast that was Wilma absorbed what was left of Alpha with barely a burp! But if Gustav took it's most easerly course, and Eight it's most westerly...i would not like to be in North Florida now... -
Hurricane Dolly

NHC updated 16:24 BST says cat 2 as well, i take it this is faster than expected? -
Hurricane Bertha (Was category-3)
liquidjp replied to Iceberg's topic in Hurricanes, Cyclones and Extreme weather worldwide
The latest image this morning shows the eyewall seems to have closed up, certainly not as clear at it was yesterday, is this a sign of weakening, ERC, or just one of those things... EDIT: The first then... thanks Iceberg -

Quick query, if Melissa did re-develop would it still be called Melissa? Has this ever happened? -
Tropical Storm Ingrid
liquidjp replied to Iceberg's topic in Hurricanes, Cyclones and Extreme weather worldwide
