Thanks Chad!

Hmmm....looks like GOM or East Coast storm.

Too early to tell I guess. Thoughts anyone???

If and/or when this develops I think the track is going to put a lot of people on pins and needles.

We're going to need to watch this very, very closely...this could be the strongest storm of the season and if it is, everyone in the path needs to get VERY ready..... :o

Ok, I've only spent about 5 minutes online so far today. Why are people mentioning Camille and saying this could be the strongest storm of the season? I think I missed something. :o

GOM storm perhaps? What do the conditions look like in the GOM? Are they the same as when Erika zipped through last week?

Comments welcome. Waiting to see if this one develops - we have been through such a rough season of non-developing potential storms.

I think the Camille comparisons were just for attention getting purposes. Perry pointed out that these systems can strengthen rapidly and conditions are favorable for development now. No one is saying that this particular storm will become a Camille! :-)

The only reason Camille is being mentioned is because of the way this wave is moving. Same path as Camille. Plus it is so close to the anniversary of Camille. August 17th, 1969. And the possibilities that could happen.

Ok thanks Marshall. <<whew>>

I hadn't even seen a forecast yet. For all I knew they were predicting a major hurricane!! :o

During a typically year -- from June 1st to August 20th -- a number of tropical waves form and do not become tropical depressions.

Today, we exactly twenty-one (21) days [exactly three weeks] from the average peak date of the Atlantic Basin Hurricane Season, which is, of course, September 10th.

If it follows the "best track" (average of all the models) -- it's trouble for the GOM....and this time of year with SST's like bathwater and favorable winds aloft, it could be big trouble (i.e.- major hurricane).

This system bears very close monitoring by all coastal residents, especially along the Gulf Coast.

FYI- I never said it would become another Camille. Category 5 hurricanes are very rare....but any major hurricane (cat-3) is extremely dangerous.

Amen Perry! You got that right any hurricane is dangerous as far as I am concerned.
