ATL: CRISTOBAL - Post-Tropical - Discussion

[TheStormExpert]

Note=Those who are tracking Cristobal I say take a moment and visit the Hurricane Marie thread to see what a very powerful hurricane looks like.

First post of saved images at Marie thread

Almost forgot what a quality hurricane looks like!

Why don't you guys track Cristobal together with Major HURRICANE Marie? It's a real storm, and is forecast to peak at 140 kts.

Cristobal is closer to home (Southeast and Eastern U.S) where a majority of the users here are from hence more interest no matter what...

[HurricaneRyan]

Well at least we finally have another Atlantic storm

Keep this on topic about Cristobal.

Hard to define a center in the daylight frames, though it appears to be near 24N 72W - moving a bit faster than forecast:

Looks like 73W 24.8N to me. Well north of the bulk of convection.

[Frank2]

I prefer your answer - I'm at 26.0N 80.5W : )

[tropicwatch]

We should know soon enough. HH one the way

I say 24N 73.2W

Here's what I'm seeing right now. Low-confidence on actual MLC location but I'm 99% certain its somewhere on the western side of that blob.

Could this lead to a situation where the LLC goes out to sea and leaves the mlc behind

[sunnyday]

So So Fl is totally safe from this one? Is there nothing to change Cristobal to the west?

[blp]

I keep seeing a more westerly component to movement today.

It kind of appears that way.

Have a look to the SSE of the red circle. Doesn't that look like an eye (I mean an actual human eye) staring intensely at the Bahamas?

[tolakram]

The LLC shows up quite well in this loop. Speed it up for the best effect.

Definitely doesn't appear to be moving very much.

Ask again in a few days. One thing certain about these systems is that nothing is certain.

[tailgater]

Looks like the LLC is moving NNW and the MLC pretty much stationary. IMHO. Not a good situation for further development. Unless we get dreaded relocate.
