TIME to WRITE OFF ALBERO

[Stratusxpeye]

Wow mx flght winds 50knt, 63knt now 68knt and climbing. Almost in the NE Quad. Hmm would we reach 70 or 80knt by days end. That woudl put us at around hurricane status. Need that 80knt flight wind NE Quad. Alberto is a fighter. This thread i had 100% agreence with last night around 10pm than i woke up to that sat vie of convection. i was amazed. Never know what mother nature has for us. This year may very well be competing with last yr.

[x-y-no]

Its actually increasing over Alberto right now.

Yeah, a little ...

Don't get me wrong, it's still a sheared system. But as opposed to last night when the convection was far removed from the center, now it's at least adjacent to it.

It doesn't do much good to overhype anything. I wouldn't care less if I were in the path of Alberto. Not a big deal ! According to the NHC, this system is expected to remain a TS at landfall. They can look forward to some heavy rains, squalls and gusty winds. Just continue normal activities. They might as well go water skiing today

I think the title of this thread should be changed to: Time to Prepare for Alberto

Get the sailboat out

That 68 knots was in the northeast quad. I'd be surprised if they found greater winds on this mission.

[Stratusxpeye]

Nope not on this mission but I would say by days end if this trend continues we would see Hurricane alberto at 75mph. But only if the current trend in strengthening continues. Alberto has been back and forth so who knows.

*Edited 74 knts just found on this mission. See the thread

[brunota2003]

I'm sorry...I just have to say this...but...what happend to the Alberto cancel? I didnt think it would just die...do you think Mother Nature would let us off that easily? Anyways...I cant believe the storm is as strong as it is right now though...super crazyness...

[NCHurricane]

First storm...June 11th.
First crow...June 12th.

[curtadams]

, Anyone?

[brunota2003]

no thank you...I dont really like crow...now if you will pass me some of that grilled catfish...

[cjrciadt]

When I left last night, I would think Alberto was finished by the tone of this thread. Dont like crow or Catfish, how about Duck

The title of this post violated one of the fundamental rules of a tropical system .NEVER write it off early

? judging be the LLC seamingly sheared and the overall structure of the storm falling apart coupled with the weather.com's statement "it's equally likely that strong upper-level winds will continue to sweep the convection away from the storm, thus precluding it from further strengthening or possibly even making it to Florida.

take a last look at the LLC, it could be gone when u wake up

Well were you ever wrong. NEver under estimate these storms.

It's like the Darth Vader line:

never underestimate the power of the GOM and loop current!

[Hurricanebob]

Bring on the rain! So far, it seems like just a rain event... I'm sorta surprised that there aren't that many spawned tornado/water spouts.

2.4 inches so far here in St Pete

LOL, thats perfect. I can imagine him saying that too. well back to topic, it looks like there are some 74knt flight level wind gusts in there. Hurricane cindy?

[Hurricanebob]

Hurricane Warning posted for Florida, shows how the extremes can happen with any system!

[DavidD]

Wow, who ever posted this thread shouldn't have. I mean come on, every time someone posts something like this, the system strengthens, and look what happened. Alberto strengthened =D

This is just plain annoying...either lock the thread, or change the title to, "Preparing for Alberto"

[Mattie]

I recommend deleting the entire thread! ROFL (But I had to read it anyway after noting that hurricane warnings were posted for Florida Gulf Coast.) Everyone be safe!
