Rules for Hurricane Tracking

[Category 5]

Based off rule 52.

64. The CMC sucks too.
65. Did I mention the GFS already?

[jasons2k]

23. If a hurricane doesn't hit Florida or the US, it doesn't it's not important.

I might make that rule #1.

24. A break in convection in the middle of an invest does not qualify as an eye.

Or an eyewall for that matter!!

[Cookiely]

Newbies should read more and post less. You might learn something.

66. That system off the east coast is not tropical, it won't become tropical, and it never had a chance. Stop trusting lousy or experimental models.

[Tampa Bay Hurricane]

Not directed to anyone in particular, but it is about time
this was brought up:
67. Correct people in a polite, informative fashion. Not everyone
is an expert meteorologist, so don't respond to any weather topic in a
harsh way that effectively silences the poster.

68:The true hurricane tracker never ignores a single wave or a single low latitude (sub)tropical feature. In the words of Dr. Suess, "A meteorological phenomenon is a meteorological phenomenon, no matter how small."

...

At least, I think that's how it goes...

69. Always wear a helmet when you go storm chasing during
a hurricane (it is good to protect your head)

70. for the 12,384,436,323,584,583,466,221,218,924th time, and it can't be stated enough. Don't jump for joy when the GFS shows something in 2 weeks.

71. Don't even read IMD's bulletins, you're better off estimating the intensity yourself.

72. The little poorly drawn map you made in paint is NOT a computer model. (Only chat guys will get this one)

73. A formula for Cape Verde Waves in May. "Going poof in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1....."

74. Please stop taking this rule so literally.

XD, 72.
And uh.. 74... shut up. :P

75: A better formula...


Clouds + water = Nothing
Clouds + warm water = Nothing
Swirl = Nothing
LLC + Nothing = Nothing
Anything - LLC = Nothing
Everything + 40N = Nothing
Everything + 5N = Nothing
Extratopical = Extratropical

Throw in that only the CMC and the 193 day GFS predict anything out of it.

76. No, that swirl over Lake Michigan will NOT be Invest 90L.

Nothing + Paint + Beer = Category 5 monster

Was that a shot at me?

77. The CMC couldn't predict yesterday.

78. The LBAR was created by Ms. Cleo.

79: Posting too many rules describing various models' inability to forecast tropical behavior on a thread on Storm2k.org can be bad for you health.

80) Don't use whats supposed to be for facial hair in calculating fluid dynamics, unless its shaving cream.

[Cyclone1]

80) Don't use whats supposed to be for facial hair...

...or the name of a Motorola cellular phone model.

This threads becoming a chatroom, lets not post every thought every minute.

unless combined to produce the worlds greatest hurricane prediction model that allows you to avoid those strong winds, warn your grandmother not to bake a cake today and keep your underarms and legs silky smooth.
