The leftovers of the trough that picked up Charley, became Hermine.

Yeah, we have been lucky this year. I believe this will be the first year since 2000 that we have not had a named storm make landfall on the Texas coast. Hopefully we won't.

I don't know where you got that, but that is not a fact. How could it be possible for a trough to remain stationary until a month later when Hermine formed? There is no fact here...

THe trough pushed by and a little piece of it got pushed around in the atlantic, and then became Hermine.

Hmmm? A little piece? So it went around for a month to become Hermine w/o being kicked by a trough, front, or something? Sorry bud, gotta agree with Hyperstorm here...

That does not make sense.

If the leftovers of the front that lifted Charley, then became Hermine. It makes me believe that it also gave birth to Gaston, right?

hermine was only about 10 days after the trough that picked up charley moved out, though hermine formed from an upper low, and gaston formed from a different upper low. These disturbances may have been from the charley trough, but I dont follow those synoptics, so I'm clueless

I've spent the better part of today thinking about this and I'm not 100% sure I can agree that the same synoptic feature was in play with both systems.

Low pressure troughs exist all the time and there are 5 or 6 (or more) rotating around the globe at any time. I am struggling with the idea that the same feature could be linked to both....this would be similar to saying the same high pressure ridge that drove Charley drove Ivan, Jeanne and Frances westward...even though the high was kncked around by the said trough above.

I just don't think a trough in the Atlantic in August is distinct enough to make such a definiative call...although to be honest I paid little attention to Hermine and could be completely wrong.

Good topic...
