ATL: MINDY - Post-Tropical - Discussion

[TallyTracker]

I’m still a bit skeptical that the center is fully closed. I guess we’ll know in a few hours when it makes landfall. It’ll get so close to the Tallahassee radar site to make any surface circulation very clear or not.

Canadian and GFS both showed a late spin up almost a week ago, so this was not unexpected. Euro hopped on board later, it was always a matter of timing.

saved radar loop

The sad thing none of multi million dollar models showed
this even becoming a TD.

If you can count the 3 km NAM, it nailed this last night, but then again we don’t count the NAM.

I agree, can't base an upgrade on a radar loop that's about 10,000 ft above the water. I can't find a circulation. That buoy they mention had 35kt wind as the squall line passed. It has no 35 kt circulation. I call BS.

Could see a tornado watch coming for N.FL S. GA soon, environment bit unstable already, then lets just add a TS to the equation

You called it yesterday Wxman Stewart is working

One thing for sure, Mindy wont be winning any beauty contests anytime soon. However if it meets the criteria then it meets the criteria

If the hurricane center says it’s a storm then they have evidence to back it up. It doesn’t matter what you think about the deal.

I suppose if the NHC says it is Mindy then it is Mindy. However, I hate seeing a name wasted on such a poor looking system. Look at that huge outflow boundary heading towards the west coast of Florida.

[grapealcoholic]

The 40 kt buoy winds coincided with a steep pressure drop as well

as a former Floridian i'd say that's a typical summer set up

[IcyTundra]

I have no reason not to trust the NHC if they say Mindy is a TS then it is probably is a TS.

[johngaltfla]

Wonderful. More stupid rain.

And now we're naming our storms after old 1980's sitcoms. Ugh.

We're sort of done with the rain this rainy season. I keep putting off repairing my screened in porch due every time we schedule major windy storms line up or a tropical system gets close.

[cheezyWXguy]

Wow, what a waste of a name. Even Claudette was more impressive than this. NHC are the pros, but I’m slowly shifting to the idea that classification criteria is become a bit overly generous as time goes by.

[Dean4Storms]

Well I was right in thinking it could become a weak TS at best.
I have begun to see some easterly winds here in Miramar Bch just west of PCB north of the center, granted its under 10kts.

[FireRat]

After the experience with Ida this year, looks like the NHC said "hell naw" to the M curse and figured they'd burn the name with this thing!

Which part were they being generous on?
