i recommend the use of the toilet next week because after that miramar sewer sytem might not be working :grr:



LOL! oh your just too much jlauderal. Not even giving me some slack. lol

<RICKY>


can you imagine thos sat dishes at nbc 6 on 75 in 115 mph winds..lol..roland would be bummin big time with out his storm scan 6 or whatever they call it


lol roland and NBC 6 are right around the corner from my house. I seriously doubt that their station can handle 115mph winds. Safe to say, IF Frances comes our way Roland will NOT be live on TV.

that building looks like it was built out of fiberboard and the tower on top that houses the doppler, well that thing is the first to go

What was that term they used to describe the unusual, Pacific typhoon-like structure of Isabel when she was at her peak? Thanks!

That is one of the first things I noticed this morning, while looking at the satellite pictures. I vividly remember Isabel's pentagon of mesovortices, as her eye was quite large and one could see straight down to the ocean. Some of those shots were absolutely awesome! Haven't seen anything like it since, but Frances may be the next to give us that site.

I'd say Monday morning is too early and so is most of next week and eve when the system is even within 150 miles of the U.S. east coast.

Remember that the tracks for Floyd and Isabel looked like they were heading right for Florida. I still think a NW-N turn near the Bahamas is more likely than Frances continuing W-WNW across S. Florida or northern Cuba.

Perhaps once we get the G-IV aircraft out there to sample the environment around both storms the models will come to an agreement by Monday morning.

Sure a better idea, but shouldn't be considered "concrete."

Look what happen to Charley. There have certainly been other tropical cyclones that have shifted direction during the prior 6 to 24 hours to landfall.

The G-IV aircraft is more effiencent than most if not all the other data that is released.

Sure wouldn't bode well for the Carolinas if that were to happen. :eek:

ULL to NW of Frances?

#1375 Postby Weatherboy1 » Sat Aug 28, 2004 11:57 am

http://www.goes.noaa.gov/browsh3.html

If you look at the water vapor loops, you can see the high starting to build in behind that departing Newfoundland low. But what about that ULL to Frances' NW by about 10 degress? Wouldn't that serve to steer Frances a bit more N? It seems like that may be what's happening because in the last few loops, Frances seems to be jogging that way. I haven't seen any mention of this feature in the discussions and I'm wondering why that is. Thanks...

I've noticed a more northward movement also, unless my eyes are just tired.

Frances still has a few degrees in lat to go before the westerly turn.


The ULL will not effect it's movement I think. It is too far away, and moving away. If anything it's just helping "vent" Frances (causes storm to strengthen and/or maintain strength)
