it seems like the farther south it goes the more its starting to look like a Hurricane as far as developing deep convection. Now if it can just wrap the deep convection around the eye totally then it maybe able to get stronger if it can survive the shear which so far it has been able to do! lol

What is the ACE now, about 240?

I believe 1950 was 243.

As a minimal hurricane, it will accumulate about 1 point a day, right? So if my math is correct, Epsilon needs to hang on for 3 or 4 more days.

Yes 1950 had 143 ace
This years I would guest around 135 ace so far. This needs to get another 8 points to beat the record. GO HURRICANE GO!!!

According to this source, ACE was 236 as of Dec 2. I was figuring about 1 point a day to get to 240. I'm looking forward to something more official, though.

The NHC's forecasters have been a little bit sarcastic with Epsilon's discussions!!!

By the way, the pictures inside the letters. The top one is Katrina, the middle one is Wilma, and the bottom one is Rita. Nice right!

If that happens, they would need psychological help to help them get through the hulk of hurricanes, Epsilon!
