Epsilon,Final Comments,Sat Pics

I was rooting for it to beat the Ace for this year. But I guess its going to be second place.

I think they measured perhaps 160 knot winds in Dog at flight level, so the real intensity was perhaps 140-145 kts.

Agreed on the sustained winds at the surface. I think Dog at it's peak as a supposed Category Five was more around what you said, in the 140KT to 145KT (160MPH to 165MPH) sustained winds range.

In name of the admins,moderators and the members I congrat you for bringing all season long those impressive graphics that has humor in them. Thank you Sandy. Looking foward to see them in the 2006 season.

I love your graphics, HURAKAN! You did outstanding work on them. How do you make them? I would like to know how.

[HURAKAN]

Thanks Luis, and everyone, I just enjoy what I do!

You're very welcome, HURAKAN! How do you make them?

I love your graphics, HURAKAN! You did outstanding work on them. How do you make them? I would like to know how.

I copy the picture, take it to Powerpoint presentation, do all the letters using WordArt, then I save it. Before saving it, it's necessary to change "Save as type:" to JPEG File Interchange Format. Then I download the image to Photobucket, it provides me with an image website that I post. And that all!

By the way, Photobucket is free!

[MiamiensisWx]

Thanks for telling me, HURAKAN! I am thinking of doing some graphics like you do as well.

NOOOOOOO!!! They really did downgrade it... *crys*

[brunota2003]

the northwesterlies arrived over Epsilon this afternoon...stripping
the deep convection from the center to the southeast...leaving a
partially exposed low-level circulation. Using a blend of T and CI
numbers from SAB and TAFB...the advisory intensity is set to 55 kt.
With even stronger northwesterlies on the way...Epsilon will decay
rapidly...perhaps losing all convection before being absorbed by
the cold front advancing through the central Atlantic.

The initial motion is 230/10. Epsilon will be increasingly steered
by a shallow-layer flow as it decays...and this flow...currently
northeasterly...will weaken and reverse with the approaching
frontal zone. The official forecast blends the medium and shallow
BAM models with the GFS.

Awesome Graphics, Hurakan!

Dare we say it now? Season cancel.

Dare we say it now? Season cancel.

Psst, look at the models

I'm scared to...

[Tampa Bay Hurricane]

Zeta in 144 hours in the eastern atlantic?

That would be quite a record. 2 December tropical cyclones? Perhaps!

[Coredesat]

The models were pretty good at predicting the formation of both Delta and Epsilon, so we could very well have Zeta soon.

[Matt-hurricanewatcher]

Its hard to say good bye to a hurricane like that.
