Week 1: Tropical Threat?

[Bulldog92]

They should just replace Christobal (kinda creepy for a hurricane name anyway) and name it Popovich. 

[bronco pride]

does thismean we can blame this hurricane on lebron?

maybe the hurricane will cramp and just die out.

[tvc184]

If you don't like where the models are pointing, simply wait until the next predictions and it will probably be different. 

 

Now it shows to be likely hitting the east coast. By the time it makes landfall, it might be in southern Mexico..............

[Bulldog92]

The models are all over the place. Florida's gonna probably get hit by whatever it becomes, but it's a crapshoot after that...

[TexMex]

Will not hit America. High level jet stream over lower SE corner that will push all Atlantic formed tropical formations north/east. NOAA is desperate after their 3rd year consecutive promising above normal activity. John McNomis who is quite possibly one of the worlds leading experts in meteorology predicted in 2011 - we will have very few tropical impacts at hurricane force levels from 2011-2020. He called it a very weak decade. So far, he's been spot on.

Can we NOT start talking about hurricanes and football?

[Guest ECBucFan]

I agree! I saw the very first mention of the tiniest "disturbance" in the Atlantic a few days ago on a weather site, and wondered to myself "how long til it ends up on SETXSports?"  The next morning I start my computer and here it is.

 

Speculation about game cancellation is the next topic. Just watch and see.

cold fronts and football is better. :)

cold fronts and football is better. :)

I tell you what, the past few days when I get out to the ballfield to watch practice, it has been overcast and windy!  I have LOVED, LOVED, LOVED it!  Wish every day could be like that!  I LOVE cooler / colder weather!

A hurricane is never going to hit here for the next 100 million years!

If 1 ever gets in the Gulf named Ken,it'll be the 1st time in my lifetime I'd run from cause he'd be headed straight to Barbie's Hill :D :D

+1. Lol

[skipper]

it will go east of fla,the trade winds are to strong and will carry it there

[Majestyk]

NOAA Meteorologist Dr. Herm Cain says that the environmental make-up of this system mirrors that of hurricane Rita in 2005.  This guy knows whats up.  He predicted the bi-lunar dust storm on the Moon in 2009.  Might want to start packin.

Not coming

[RaiderRed30]

And that's why I would rather live through a tornado or an earthquake any day over a hurricane. At least with the first two you don't have to worry for a week is it coming or isn't it?

[MrUmp1]

it will go east of fla,the trade winds are to strong and will carry it there

The trade winds (sometimes called trades) are the prevailing pattern of easterly surface winds found in the tropics, within the lower portion of the Earth's atmosphere, in the lower section of the troposphere near the Earth's equator.[1] The trade winds blow predominantly from the northeast in the Northern Hemisphere and from the southeast in the Southern Hemisphere, strengthening during the winter and when the Arctic oscillation is in its warm phase. Historically, the trade winds have been used by captains of sailing ships to cross the world's oceans for centuries, and enabled European empire expansion into the Americas and trade routes to become established across the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.

 

In meteorology, the trade winds act as the steering flow for tropical storms that form over the Atlantic, Pacific, and southern Indian Oceans and make landfall in North America, Southeast Asia, and Madagascar and eastern Africa, respectively. Trade winds also steer African dust westward across the Atlantic Ocean into the Caribbean Sea, as well as portions of southeastern North America. Shallow cumulus clouds are seen within trade wind regimes, and are capped from becoming taller by a trade wind inversion, which is caused by descending air aloft from within the subtropical ridge. The weaker the trade winds become, the more rainfall can be expected in the neighboring landmasses.

This article makes some good points about long-range forecasting ( outside of 5-7 days).

God all knowing has spoken. :rolleyes:

Lock this thread, no need to post anymore.

welp……

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

I say bring on the coldfronts.

[whatnamecanipick]

I can remember "blue northers" coming in the fall. There is nothing like flounder gigging after one blows through.
