ATL: JERRY - Post-Tropical - Discussion

[FireRat]

This is really one impressive looking TS, wow, if nothing inhibits Jerry, this guy may take off and become quite a beast. Jerry certainly has that 'look'. Such a dense CDO!

Named after Jerry Jarrell, former NHC Forecaster and Director (for those who care about such nonsense)

Really? They actually put a name on the lists in honor of a particular person and admitted it? Are there any other names that have been put on the lists in honor of specific meteorologists? Is there any place to find out this information?

One hell of a hot tower.

They're not technically supposed to represent anyone in particular, but there is probably a few other ones out there that share a name with someone those who made the lists know personally. Perhaps the most famous one is a storm named after John Hope's daughter.

With that track record...wouldn't think they'd want to do it again (daughter I assume was named Camille)

This doesnt look like it is gaining much latitude...and it is just truckin' alonng

Gilbert was famously named after Gil Clark (who was actually in charge of coming up with the list of names!) and Roxanne was named after Gil's daughter.

Thanks so much for that link. As an onomastician (name researcher) I really appreciate it.

I believe this buoy is ahead of Jerry?

Below 1007mb and plummeting. (As of 1830z)

That is the one I have been talking about all morning. Winds are due west now at 7kts. the surface center is at about 14.9N

Thanks drezee, keep us up to date . Very curious to see just how low the pressure gets

[drezee]

Location: 14.8°N 49.9°W
Maximum Winds: 50 kt Gusts: nan kt
Minimum Central Pressure: 1000 mb
Environmental Pressure: 1010 mb
Radius of Circulation: 120 NM
Radius of Maximum Wind: 20 NM

Being that the buoy is reporting a pure 270deg wind @1830z at 51W. I would say the surface center was at least 50.8 at 18z.

From 15z forecast:
FORECAST VALID 19/0000Z 15.3N 51.0W...missed by half a degree

Maximum Winds: 50 kt Gusts: nan kt

Environmental Pressure: 1010 mb

Being that the buoy is reporting a pure 270deg wind @1830z at 51W. I would say the surface center was at least 50.8 at 18z.

The west winds at the buoy are very weak. They are probably more related to an outflow boundary. I can't see any way the center is north of the buoy at the time of that observation... Watch for the pressure to continue to fall and winds to pick up and correct the direction.

starting to look really good, IMO

could also be that the anemometer is broke.. that bouy is ancient.

Wow. And of all the storms, THAT had to be her name.....
