An analog to previous early season CV's ... short read ...

#1 Postby Stormsfury » Wed Jun 11, 2003 10:48 am

Just for the record, there is no analog ... because this is the furthest east forming depression for so early in June ... I have all the storms' tracks and datasets printed in hardcopy format copy (almost 500 pages worth of information) and on a Zip disk copy formatted in Netscape Composer (from a project I did years ago and it goes from 1886-1999) and will be going through them all today to verify that this is the furthest east for so early in the season ...

So far what I've found .... since 1886 ... is not where the depression formed ...

June 27th, 1933 ... Tropical Storm #2 formed (or track plots began) at 8.8ºN, 56.2ºW ... 45 kts ... Peak winds - 90 kts (105 mph) July 5th 0000z ... at 25.6ºN, 88.7ºW ...

The 1933 Season - 21 storms, 10 hurricanes, 5 Major

June 22nd, 1979 ... Tropical Storm Ana, formed .... 10.0ºN, 45.0ºW on 6/19/79 at 0000z ... became Tropical Storm Ana at 14.2ºN, 54.7ºW on 6/22/79 @ 0000z ... peaked 12 hours later at 50 kts (58 mph - 60 mph for practical purposes)....weakened back to a depression 18 hours later and the last advisory written on 6/24/79 @ 0000z 14.0ºN, 66.2ºW ... 25 kts.

The 1979 Season ... 9 storms, 6 hurricanes, 2 major ...

Both those major hurricanes were retired that year ... Hurricanes David and Frederic ... (First two male names retired as well)...

We're writing a new chapter in the weather history books ...
