Erika part deux

#1 Postby chadtm80 » Mon Aug 18, 2003 1:33 pm

remenants or erika have made it across mexico and is now near cabo san lucas and is heading west... Look at the loop and you will notice the "spin" http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/PS/TROP/DATA/RT ... -loop.html

I know were all more interested in the Central atlantic wave but figured i would mention this anyways

For those who may not know it will be a different name if it develops as the name would be Ignacio and not Erika.

A couple of years ago they changed the policy. That is if there's enough of an identifiable entity left of Erika, they will actually retain the name Erika (this was changed a couple of years ago)... Case in point, was Hurricane Iris a couple of years back ... however, there wasn't enough of an identifiable entity to call it Iris and was thus renamed to the next Pacific name list ...

I really enjoy watching these systems. Claudette did similar, further north, thus no chance of "redevelopment." :)
