Nothing new....

It keeps going and going and going......

[djtil]

is there any chance that epsilon taps into the troposphere causing the instant freeze of the atlantic?

What movie is THAT from? I want to make sure to miss it.

Tomorrow is always a day away!!!!

[yzerfan]

I'm starting to feel for Avila. He obviously lost the rock-paper-scissors tournament big time and got stuck with all the overnight shifts while Epsilon was active.

[cycloneye]

It looks like the definite weakening has commenced as it is less convective and the eye is very ragged and not circular anymore but open.

[aerojad]

is there any chance that epsilon taps into the troposphere causing the instant freeze of the atlantic?

Yes, but only after one thunderstorm produces 30 tornadoes at the same time in Los Angeles.

[Buck]

is there any chance that epsilon taps into the troposphere causing the instant freeze of the atlantic?

Yes, but only after one thunderstorm produces 30 tornadoes at the same time in Los Angeles.

And another storm produces monster hail in Hong Kong. Or was it Tokyo?

Air Force T Number also like SSD bordrerline Cane/Tropical Storm.Look how they describe the eye.

[quandary]

My guess is that it is probably going down now. Of course that, that might make it vengeful and come back like it always does. We'll see.

[P.K.]

Still a hurricane in the latest advisory. Note it has been issued by the HPC as happens sometimes.

[txwatcher91]

It seems to be punching a hole in the area of shear ahead of it:

Yeah,this storm has resisted shear and cool water temps. NOW, it appears to be punching a hole right through the shear. I am not surprised it hasn't dissipated yet, as this is hurricane season 2005 with a hurricane that just doesn't know when to stop. They should have maned it Energizer instead I hate to think what might happen if it makes it to the warm waters around PR. With decreasing shear and warm water temps down there,it could possibly become a cat 3 or higher IMO.

[MiamiensisWx]

It is not looking very healthy any more and does not look very much like a hurricane. Shear now appears to be impacting it.
