Forum:2007 Atlantic hurricane season/October

AoI - N of Leeward Islands
Big bunch of convection to the east of 92L is being looked at by NHC. AN AREA OF DISTURBED WEATHER HAS FORMED FROM THE NORTHERN LEEWARD ISLANDS NORTHWESTWARD INTO THE ATLANTIC FOR A COUPLE OF HUNDRED MILES IN ASSOCIATION WITH AN UPPER-LEVEL LOW AND A LOW-LEVEL TROUGH. DEVELOPMENT OF THIS SYSTEM...IF ANY...SHOULD BE SLOW TO OCCUR. --Patteroast 20:47, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
 * This system behind 92L seems to be stealing its thunder...

SATELLITE IMAGES AND SURFACE OBSERVATIONS INDICATE THAT THE AREA OF DISTURBED WEATHER...ASSOCIATED WITH A SURFACE TROUGH AND UPPER-LEVEL LOW...CENTERED ABOUT 100 MILES NORTH OF PUERTO RICO HAS BECOME BETTER ORGANIZED DURING THE DAY. UPPER-LEVEL WINDS ARE FORECAST TO BECOME MORE FAVORABLE FOR DEVELOPMENT...AND SOME FURTHER ORGANIZATION OF THIS SYSTEM IS POSSIBLE OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS.
 * I'm surprised this isn't 93L yet. --Patteroast 00:05, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

93L.INVEST
Well, well, busy aren't we? I only checked WeatherUnderground, BTW. What's weird is, WeatherUnderground is a crystal ball! It said that Humberto was Humberto and Krosa was a cat 4 before those things came true. Well, any thoughts? Surely, with this many INVESTS, one of them has to give me rain. We're now that overdroughted anymore, but a few more extratropical remnants would be nice :P. 2007Astro&#39;sHurricane 01:08, 6 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Models initializing, up on NRL. 92L is taken down; it's been killed by this system, which stole most of its associated convection. IP (Talk) (The Project)  01:10, 6 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Off as an INVEST, but some models, most notably GFS, merge this thing's remnants and turns it into a re-Juan, hitting anywhere between New York and Newfoundland. Talk about yikes. 2007Astro&#39;sHurricane 00:53, 9 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Should not be off as an invest. IP (Talk) (The Project)  01:30, 9 October 2007 (UTC)


 * If 93L is the thing directly south of Bermuda, I agree with you. I think it's the most interesting thing out there right now. It is a completely independant system with an established low pressure center an good cyclonic turning. Shear is iffy though, 10-20 knots. -- SkyFury 21:29, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

That is correct. Let me point out here that despite the fact that storms, even this year, have formed in 10-20 knot wind shear, Jeff Masters considers it a physical impossibility. I hate that man with great force. This one should be watched. IP (Talk) (The Project)  10:41, 10 October 2007 (UTC)


 * I continue to be impressed by this system and have no idea why nobody is paying any attention to it. It may never become anything, but it's certainly an area worth watching. Doesn't make sense. -- SkyFury 13:09, 10 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Are you kidding me? This thing looks just like a sheared tropical cyclone. Could someone please tell me why nobody is noticeing? This is driving me nuts. -- SkyFury 13:47, 11 October 2007 (UTC)


 * The reason is, my friend, I've spent the last 2 hours with my new D40. You're right, by the way. IP (Talk) (The Project)  21:13, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

AoI - NW Caribbean
Hmm. Another new one, NHC seems to like this one. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE NORTHWESTERN CARIBBEAN SEA ARE ASSOCIATED WITH A WEAK TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE. SOME SLOW DEVELOPMENT OF THIS SYSTEM IS POSSIBLE OVER THE NEXT DAY OR TWO AS IT DRIFTS SLOWLY WEST-NORTHWESTWARD. --Patteroast 20:47, 5 October 2007 (UTC)


 * I also like this system. I've been tracking it since it was a small low; now some thunderstorms have sprung up. Highly favorable environment, very low wind shear (at the moment), and a small amount of model consensus. I'd say put your money on this guy. Waitin' for 15L, IP (Talk) (The Project)  21:38, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Uh oh. This one might even merge with the Bahama blob. Remember Lorenzo, the result of the merger of several disturbances? Now there are SIX areas in the TWO!!! Things are getting busy *uh uh uh*. The. Is. 2007Astro&#39;sHurricane 01:02, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

94L.INVEST
Another Invest. Anyway, I expect this to strengthen into at least a tropical storm before hitting the Yucatan. 71.7.210.87 20:03, 6 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Meh, give it time. Needs to develop a bit more. Cyclone 1 logged out. 20:37, 6 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Latest HWRF run gives a category 3 landfall in Cuba! --Patteroast 12:18, 8 October 2007 (UTC)


 * GDFL also brings it up to tropical storm by the time it reaches the Yucatan, but instead of recurving it into Cuba right off they have it dwindling over land before moving back off in that direction. Interesting to see what becomes of this. 67.155.250.26 17:46, 8 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Latest model runs look a little less optimistic about this thing's future, though the NHC seems more interested in it than before. TD 14 in the near future, perhaps? 67.155.250.26 22:11, 8 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Uh oh. The models are stumped. They have no idea where this storm is heading. None of them agree. So it could go anywhere. It could influence any other wave. The recon was cancelled, though. 2007Astro&#39;sHurricane 00:56, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

GFDL takes it back through into the Caribbean as a healthy storm, so this could get interesting. IP <font color="#ff6347">(Talk) <font color="#0000ff">(The Project)  01:30, 9 October 2007 (UTC)


 * NHC is less impressed with it and I can understand why, it's just running out of time to develop before moving over land. Whether it loops back out and has a chance to develop again as suggested by that GDFL run, we'll have to wait and see, but it looks like this won't be doing much in the immediate future. 67.155.250.26 16:14, 9 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Ref the last GFDL and CMC, and GFDL doesn't even focus it (it's usually much stronger with focus than without)! <font color="#000000">IP <font color="#ff6347">(Talk) <font color="#0000ff">(The Project)  18:57, 9 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Is it just me, or is this thing intensifying over land? <font color="#000000">IP <font color="#ff6347">(Talk) <font color="#0000ff">(The Project)  22:41, 9 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Just you. -- SkyFury 13:10, 10 October 2007 (UTC)


 * F***! The NHC has completely lost it. They cancelled all the areas in the TWO. In my books, that's 15 areas potentially conducive for developement. With that many, it's only a matter of time before a few areas go back up. That system that's supposed to absorb the former 92-93L is still over land and giving us clouds and showers. Now the NHC is bathing in crap, as well as shoving it into their eyes. That's why they're going blind. Seriously though, I don't see how half a dozen AoIs could go away at once. Just wait. This season is going to be way above average. I'd say about as active as 1995. Also, could you guys stop making obscene comments, they're straddling the border of a personal attack. 2007Astro&#39;sHurricane 17:23, 10 October 2007 (UTC)


 * OMG. LBAR overdevelopes everything. It made 90.L dump itself right over my house, it predicted Melissa would strengthen in the open ocean or become a re-Vince or re-Delta, and now it predicts that this storm will be a hurricane and hit Wiki Central head-on. "Head-on, apply directly to the hurricane! Head-on, apply directly to the Wikimedia Foundation! Head-on, apply directly to the LBAR!" Anyway, this storm could still go anywhere. You never know. By the way, GFDL dissipates it, then redevelops near Lorenzo-territory. This is also close to where Dean hit. It might dissapate, or a few could redevelop. Let's wait and see. 2007Astro&#39;sHurricane 17:40, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

Eric, Eric, Eric, how long can something develop over land? Not for a day! And the NHC has gone completely bazonkers. And no more crap, PLEASE NO MORE! And stop with the head-on stuff, that's C1's copyright material. But in real life, this thing is off the coast now, and gaining strength. <font color="#000000">IP At School <font color="#ff6347">(Talk) <font color="#0000ff">(The Project)  19:23, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

95L.INVEST
It's up!! It is VERY far north too, out in unknown territory. Could be upgraded as soon as tonight. Next Vince? Cyclone 1 logged out. 20:37, 6 October 2007 (UTC)


 * OK... Just when you thought this season couldn't get any weirder, look at this: . Yep, it's a 50 mph storm headed straight for Europe, and it's gaining tropical characteristics. Vince who? <font color="#FFD700">undefinedundefined 20:42, 6 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Weird, but not heading for Europe. It's a fishie. Cyclone1 (21:23 UTC -6/10/2007)


 * Gone. --Patteroast 15:00, 7 October 2007 (UTC)


 * The NHC is eating crap. All the invests are gone except one. They had SIX areas on the TWO this morning, and now just one! That's just weird. I think at least one of them will be re-invested. Only time will tell. 2007Astro&#39;sHurricane 00:42, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Don't try humor, Astro. Leave that to the people who have actually eaten crap, or done something similar. Like drinking Diet Pepsi. Seriously though, most of them ARE dead, except for this one thing several hundred miles off of the Bahamas. <font color="#000000">IP <font color="#ff6347">(Talk) <font color="#0000ff">(The Project)  01:29, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

AoI: Near Jamaica
That's a lot of strong convection in one place. -- SkyFury 13:12, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Interesting blob there, but, with what we've had this season, we'll have to wait and see if it develops. - Enzo Aquarius 15:19, 10 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Jamaica was nowhere near 95L. And I believe I did see some beginning signs of a low earlier in the day. <font color="#000000">IP At School <font color="#ff6347">(Talk) <font color="#0000ff">(The Project)  19:18, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

AoI - Lows Near the Lesser Antilles
There are two of these buggers, both of them looking a little organized and having some evidence of cyclonic turning. They are about to hit an area of 31 degrees SSTs. I haven't checked model developments, but any low associated with convection in that area should be monitored. <font color="#000000">IP At School <font color="#ff6347">(Talk) <font color="#0000ff">(The Project)  19:18, 10 October 2007 (UTC)


 * The one near 57 west is bombing out. This could get interesting. <font color="#000000">IP At School <font color="#ff6347">(Talk) <font color="#0000ff">(The Project)  19:53, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

96L.INVEST
Neat sub-tropical formation in the central Atlantic about 30 degrees off the east coast of Florida. Predicted to head northeast. - Enzo Aquarius 15:18, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Any models bring it close to Nova Scotia?
 * Not that I can tell. NHC thinks it might develop a little before getting absorbed - I suppose we'll have to wait for the next model runs though :) 67.155.250.26 16:31, 11 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Na. The NHC says any increase in t-storm activity will cause this to be regarded as a tropical depression. That's pretty hardcore. <font color="#000000">IP At School <font color="#ff6347">(Talk) <font color="#0000ff">(The Project)  16:31, 11 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Definitely noticed by the NHC now, possible development in 48 hours. - Enzo Aquarius 16:57, 11 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Finally! Jeez. It looks exactly like a sheared tropical cyclone. It looks like it has an LLCC and everything. Shear or no shear, I'm still impressed. May not get a name though, because of the shear. -- SkyFury 18:59, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

15L.NONAME
Upgrade at 5! Cyclone1 (19:53 UTC -11/10/2007)
 * Forecast to be a dud, though, so it doesn't look like Noel material. 67.155.250.26 20:47, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Tropical Depression 15
Official. Cyclone1 (21:08 UTC -11/10/2007)


 * GODDAMNIT Cyclone1! How do you do this?! <font color="#000000">IP <font color="#ff6347">(Talk) <font color="#0000ff">(The Project)  21:10, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
 * With help from a little forum called Storm2k. :P Cyclone1 (21:28 UTC -11/10/2007)


 * ICK! I hate forums; they just don't work like this place does. We need some kind of information stream for everything here. Recruitment, perhaps? Or maybe just a few ultra-dedicated users. Most of the people on the forums seem stupid and ignorant anyway (for an even MUCH worse example, see the posts on Jeff Masters' Wunderblog.) <font color="#000000">IP <font color="#ff6347">(Talk) <font color="#0000ff">(The Project)  21:32, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
 * True, there are LOADS of wishcasters. But, I like Storm2k. Once you get used to the layout, it's kinda nice. But I'm not here to promote other forums, so back to the depression. (BTW, Wunderground sucks.) Cyclone1 (21:38 UTC -11/10/2007)


 * HA!! Who predicted this exact thing to happen: 96L develops but does not get a name? Believe that was me. I feel badass. -- SkyFury 21:37, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Whoa, Eric. It's not dead yet. Cyclone1 (21:38 UTC -11/10/2007)

It's welcome to prove me and NHC wrong. -- SkyFury 21:42, 11 October 2007 (UTC)


 * How did you post that... Never mind. And you, Eric, used the word "may". As in "may" not get a name. Yeah. Spot on, buddy. GFDL to TS (but it's really inaccurate at only 6-12 hours) and HWRF keeps it a weak depression. GFS and CMC, etc. don't do much with it either. <font color="#000000">IP <font color="#ff6347">(Talk) <font color="#0000ff">(The Project)  21:47, 11 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Yay, another instantly-killed-by-shear storm in the Atlantic. This season is putting me to sleep. Bob rulz 22:16, 11 October 2007 (UTC)


 * We still have all month. Cyclone1 (22:28 UTC -11/10/2007)


 * Yeah, all those category fives, super rapid intensifying cat ones, high latitude storms, strangely placed ones, and other super unusual phenomenon ARE VERY SCREWING BORING. Has it occurred to what it takes for a storm to FORM in this kind of shear? <font color="#000000">IP <font color="#ff6347">(Talk) <font color="#0000ff">(The Project)  23:17, 11 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Lorenzo and Humberto happened so fast I almost missed them. The only storms that really kept my interest were Dean and Felix, which were pretty amazing storms. Ingrid and Karen held my interest for a while due to their potential, but both were killed by, what else, strong shear.
 * To be fair, I have very high standards, though. :P And Cyclone1 is right, we still have this month to get through, and November and December can produce their fair bit of surprises, too. Bob rulz 21:24, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Told you. I hope none of you ever had high hopes for this one. -- SkyFury 22:09, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

AoI: North of the Canaries
Tight little swirl north of the canaries. Could gain convection tonight. Watch the NRL for a 97L. Cyclone1 (19:04 UTC -11/10/2007)


 * Cyclone1 (19:08 UTC -11/10/2007)


 * Dang... I would've never noticed that. I doubt anything will come of it, but it's definitely 2007-esque stuff (as in, really f%#king strange). <font color="#000000">IP <font color="#ff6347">(Talk) <font color="#0000ff">(The Project)  21:12, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

 * But not on NRL? Strange... Cyclone1 (21:39 UTC -11/10/2007)


 * Well developed circulation, but without convection this one's going nowhere. -- SkyFury 21:39, 11 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Hmm, reincarnation of 95L, maybe? It's not even on the TWO, and unless this pulls a Vince, or enters the Meditteranean, I'd be somewhat uninterested. 2007Astro&#39;sHurricane 21:40, 11 October 2007 (UTC)


 * What the? All this within 60 seconds and not a single edit conflict? Oh no, did I forget an edit summary again? Eeek. I mean, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ok, maybe not, it's just an edit summary :P . 2007Astro&#39;sHurricane 21:43, 11 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Actually, some pressure models do take this guy's remnants into the Med Sea.

Noooo way, not a remnant of 95. 95 was completely absorbed, and this formed from a separate storm complex. Cyclone1 (21:58 UTC -11/10/2007)


 * Huh? How are you all on all of a sudden? This is becoming faster that instant messaging! 2007Astro&#39;sHurricane 22:01, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Potential AoI: Off the coast of Ontario, I mean, New York
(edit conflict! That's you, IP)Large storm stretching from Ontario to Newfoundland to the Carolinas. Yesterday, there was an eye-like structure near Michigan or Southern Ontario. Yes, it rained. In fact, some areas are now having snow, that's how strong this thing is. May merge with the former 92-93L, and possibly even the frontal system between Jamaica and the Bahamas, or even TD 15. Might make landfall on Maine. The rest of it just might give me some snow. If it does, that might happen tomorow. In fact, it was a year ago tomorrow that we had our first snow of the 2007-2007 winter. Possible repeat? Will this thing attain Subtropical Depression status? We will wait and see. 2007Astro&#39;sHurricane 21:54, 11 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Off the coast of....... New.....York? ... ... ... Ooooookay.... Cyclone1 (21:56 UTC -11/10/2007)


 * Okay, here's an image of the storm. Big storm, isn't it? Ugh, SHIFT+scroll should be destroyed. 2007Astro&#39;sHurricane 22:07, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Big storm, but if this becomes a subtropical cyclone, I will jump off the SkyWay bridge. It is no where even kinda near anything that could be considered somewhat sub-tropical. Cyclone1 (22:11 UTC -11/10/2007)


 * I see, like, two clouds. Seriously. <font color="#000000">IP <font color="#ff6347">(Talk) <font color="#0000ff">(The Project)  22:12, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

The big storm over Ontario... Cyclone1 (22:14 UTC -11/10/2007)


 * You mean, pathetic storm over Ontario which has about as much chance for development as a field of cows. <font color="#000000">IP <font color="#ff6347">(Talk) <font color="#0000ff">(The Project)  23:19, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Nominally speaking, a field of cow is a great area to develop. No buildings to tear down to start with :-D--Guillaume Hébert-Jodoin 00:32, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Now, about that eye over Ontario, here's the loop. See? Kinda like hurricane Huron, huh? Now the system over the Bahamas, although development is not expected, seems to have a pseudo-eye. Thing could become (yet another) weather bomb for the Atlantic Provinces. That thunderstorm over New York is looking impressive. Anyway, this probably doesn't have any better chance than the other Gulf Stream disturbances we've had this year, but since it's October, we could have a Nor'easter. What's weird is, a lot of models love to "explode" these storms right over Scandinavia. Another unnamed_tropical_storm_(2006), or unnamed_tropical_storm_(2005), perhaps? Let's see if it snows tomorrow, it's expected to be just above freezing tomorrow morning! Brr! 2007Astro&#39;sHurricane 00:52, 12 October 2007 (UTC)


 * If you just click play, it's the eye over Quebec. The one I'm talking about is only if you click 48 or higher. 2007Astro&#39;sHurricane 00:56, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

 * What? Guys, get off the f***ing drugs, they're bad for you. This would be October. This is prime nor'easter season. A lot of large, extratropical storms/gales/non-tropical-cans-of-whoop-ass form in that part of the world this time of year. Hence the reason why fishing the Grand Banks is so freakin' dangerous. If a hurricane forms off the Maine coast or over Ontario, I will swallow cyanide, because it probably means the end is near.

Extremely deep convection has established itself over the center during the last couple hours. If the current convective trend continues, I wouldn't be at all surprised to see a hurricane approaching the western tip of Cuba in a few days. With an upper-level anticyclone, a trough enhancing strong diffluence, warm and deep waters, and favourable shear, I wouldn't even put a major hurricane out of the realm of possibility. If 90L can consolidate itself into a depression overnight, it will have a good 3-4 days to intensify over water. This could be a potentially dangerous hurricane, so be prepared everyone. <font color="#FFD700">undefinedundefined 23:13, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Yeah, just like December 22, 2012. Why is everybody playing Nostradomus here? What anticyclone? While this could be a dangerous hurricane, it could also just be a number. Dean and his Latino friend aside, this has been a very underachieving season. Of the fifteen storms (including depressions), only four have been hurricanes. Four have been ravaged by shear, two have formed in the middle of nowhere and five or six were of non-tropical origin. The TWD mention this system being bothered by shear, that makes me think not so highly of this system. The convection is quite impressive and I would indeed be surprised if it doesn't get at least a number but beyond that, I reserve judgement. -- SkyFury 00:42, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

That afforementioned anticyclone should give it a little break and allow it to become a storm. Whether or not it becomes a hurricane depends on how much of a break it gets. IP, I still think you're being a little aggressive with this one. I think it's too close to land for anything significant. Note that both Humberto and Lorenzo were small systems.

 * Woah! CMC goes crazy, making Noel plummet New York, Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland, as a possible hurricane. Yes, I do think that looks like a re-Juan, with a more NE-angle. Most models allow it to strike Newfoundland. Talk about Placentia's nightmare! In fact, I've memorized the models' link: . If it veers far enough west, we could get a snowstorm. The CMC, GFDL, and GFS, which the NHC depends on, all allow the storm to make landfall in Canada, and all make it to what appears to be hurricane-strength. I really think Nova Scotians don't want a re-Juan, but if CMC is right (is that the Canadian model?) it could very well pull a Juan.

Actually, I'd like to note that the CMC was created for entertainment purposes only! And I'm thinking more Newfoundland into Labrador, then into Greenland and up the coast. Might give you some weather, I doubt it though. And the winds are pretty strong at Canadian land-fall.

Is it just me, or does every forecast bring it eerily closer to a juan track? 71.7.217.94 13:45, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Also, it looks like it's starting to lose tropical characteristics. Isn't that a bad thing? Being cold core and all, and able to intensify over cold water, that spells bad news for Nova Scotia, because every damn frigging update brings it closer to a juan track. off by maybe 100 miles. They say 60k winds by landfall from yarmouth to cape breton, but if it acquires extratropical status before then, there's a fairly big chance that the storm will be stronger than Juan, but moving much slower than Juan. Thoughts? 71.7.217.94 13:45, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Exactly what I said will happen is being forecasted. Once it enters extratropical transition, the baroclinic energy will rapidly intensify it. 5% chance of Cat 4-5 they say, 10% for Cat 2, 10% for Cat 3. Look at the size of the monster.. Nova Scotia may be in for a fucking *sorry for language* big storm. 71.7.217.94 16:02, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Lets start a betting poll. I bet $25.00 that this storm comes within 50 miles of the landfall area that Juan did, and within 50 miles of the track that Juan took. (50 to right and left of forecast track of Juan)

Hurricane Noel
...Which is right now. Noel will be a hurricane for only one advisory, because it will most likely be ET by 5:00 AM EDT tomorrow. Flight level 81 kts, and advisory up but not linked to on the main page.

Pressure drop of 17 MBR from 5PM to 8PM advisory. 71.7.217.94 00:15, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

And, it looks like Nova Scotia is in for some trouble :( I hope it turns westward more and smacks maine instead! 71.7.217.94 00:17, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah, the NHC track has it making landfall about 10 miles from my house. While I was lucky to escape any damage from Juan (It wasn't even cloudy.), I doubt it'll happen this time. I'm not looking forward to a possible 70 mph storm headed straight to my house. But seriously, why do things like this always happen on the weekend? Gah. <font color="#FFD700">undefinedundefined 01:55, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Cainer, NHC says 75k winds. I think that's fairly conservative, too... The size of the storm is comparable to Katrina; look for yourself. The wind field will expand greatly with extratropical transitioning etc... one hurricane force wind model shows all of nova scotia experiencing hurricane force winds.71.7.217.94 02:10, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Advisory update. Still Hurricane, winds notched upwards. Forecasted to stay above Hurricane Strength.71.7.217.94 02:49, 2 November 2007 (UTC)


 * The NHC needs to fix it's graphical model, states Hurricane all the way to Newfoundland and Tropical Storm by Greenland... :S - Enzo Aquarius 03:20, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

I hope it takes the route that brings it into the bay of fundy, to be honest. less damage to most of the populated areas. 71.7.217.94 03:31, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

But... I have a feeling it will make landfall closer to Halifax, pass through Truro, over P.E.I, through Labrador, and into greenland


 * Enzo, that is the actual forecast. There is nothing in the way of what is most likely going to be one of the more... interesting ETs we'll see this year. <font color="#000000">IP <font color="#ff6347">(Talk) <font color="#0000ff">(The Project)  10:40, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

I find the newspaper insulting. canadian hurricane centre says it wont even be near hurricane force, with winds GUSTING to 90 km/h. All indications from NHC state that it will keep hurricane strength long after landfall71.7.217.94 10:50, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Update.. Noel still hurricane. Bad part? Forecast shifted to nearly directly over halifax.71.7.217.94 16:19, 2 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Woah. It looks like a re-Juan is certainly possible. Howvever, the tracks are shifting west, towards the Bay of Fundy. That could be good news for Halifax, but bad news for Massachusetts, which both GFDL and HWRF predict will see Cat. 1 force sustained winds. However, it could still be bad for Halifax. How would you like it if, you tune in to the TV Saturday evening to see where the rain is coming from, and it said, in the local 24 hr forecast, winds 120 km/h and rain 250 mm? I'd be scared, to say the least. Since the forecast drifted west, the USA could also be severly affected by the storm. Why, all the more reason to retire you with! Noel is already responsible for 120 or so deaths, and I fear the death toll could even rise above that of Felix. Retirement of Noel is certainly possible. Could also be a snowstorm for parts of Quebec. Usually, the bay of Fundy would zap out a hurricane pretty quickly, but with such a big storm and an extratropical transition expected at hurricane-strength, It might even have time to strengthen. It's not slow-moving at all, just enormous. That's why, adding the fact that it pretty much stalled over Cuba, the Dominical Republic and Haiti saw so much rain that caused all those mudslides. With this new forecast, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Maine, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, PEI, Quebec, Newfoundland and Labrador, and Greenland could all see damage from this storm. Let's see what it does, and let's hope people have not forgotten the misery of Juan and will be prepared for this. 2007Astro&#39;sHurricane 17:35, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

I don't know where you get that information from, because the track guidances shifted closer to halifax...71.7.217.94 19:30, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Regardless though, the storm is so large that even if it makes landfall in new brunswick via fundy, or hit maine, all of nova scotia will still feel sustained winds above 50 MP/H most likely. 71.7.217.94 19:34, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

ET Cyclone Noel
So yeah. Now extratropical, last advisory, yada, yada. Still barreling down the Atlantic toward Canada at increasing intensity (now they take it up all the way to 80 KT). And NO, when I talk about ET Cyclone I don't mean the big red spot. --Guillaume Hébert-Jodoin 00:59, 3 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Noel is a beast, don't anybody forget that. It's storms like this that give fishing on the Grand Banks its infamous reputation. I just hope this isn't as bad as the Perfect Storm of 1991 (which was raising Hell at nearly the same date as Noel is). -- SkyFury 02:37, 3 November 2007 (UTC)


 * I wasn't implying the storm is getting less dangerous, more making commentary on the fact that, due to the nature of their business, they have to stop tracking the storm now when it is actually growing stronger than ever because it's not tropical anymore. It makes sense, but it,s still somewhat...you know.--Guillaume Hébert-Jodoin 02:54, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

Landfall in Nova Scotia. Models are split; some say off coast, some say bay of fundy. Who knows... chances of a re-juan is still good. I'll let you guys know how the storm is, anyways. I'm in the Hurricane wind zone.71.7.217.94 08:48, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

 * I AM ABOVE AVERAGE RAIN FOR OCTOBER! THIS IS THE TRUE MEANING OF A [weather-related] MIRACLE! Seriously, it hasn't rained this much the whole year, and we haven't been in drought this bad the whole year. Isn't that just spectacular? Man, I feel good. Four days of rain!

AoI: North of Azores
Okay, look there and you might not see anything, maybe only a few clouds. However, nearly ALL models call for its immediate development into something with a pressure lower than the surrounding Bermuda-Azores high. Here's where the excitement begins. The models strengthen it and take it south-southwest. It could then strike anywhere from South America to the US to the British Isles. There's almost no telling how strong it will be, since it will likely happen weeks from now. Some of the models are often wrong, yes, but when they all agree, it almost always forms. Total agreement has been responsible for many of the storms this year. Sometimes they start to agree on development weeks in advance of the actual formation. Look at any of the moe.met.fsu.edu models that are current, and you will see that low slowly forming and drifting south. This is another large high-breaker, but given the right circumstances, it can develop. Some models call for TS status prior to its westward recurvance. Let's see what it does. 2007Astro&#39;sHurricane 17:42, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
