If this thing becomes Hermine then we will have had an August produce 8 named storms! That is almost unheard of! lol
(for those of you who are really technical, I know that Alex formed as a TD on July 31st, but was not named until August 1st, hence my statement referring to the number of NAMED storms. lol). I dont even think that 1995's August can compare to that.

IT's moving all right. I think we can take that as a sign the high to the north is starting to build as forecasted by the models. That means Gaston should be moving later today as well...maybe tonight. I still think they will be out of the way in time and should provide some feedback to pump the ridge even more.

The only other time where 8 named storms occured in a month was in 2002 with 8 in September. This will be a first for August, and we still have an African wave to watch...

Yep...the 12Z GFS appears to flip Gaston faster than the 00Z model run...which of course is not exactly what we want to hear.

No, it sure isn't. I am not saying I want anyone to get this storm but Florida doesn't need it right now after Charley. :(

Maybe Alex will be revised as a depression starting on August 1 after all. The reconaissance plane had trouble fixing a center on July 31st. If so, we've had 7 tropical cyclones this month of August...almost a record.

The big question after Frances and Gaston is, will Hermione ( I know-its supposed to be Hermine but Hermione is better :P) form in August or September?

The last time we had 8 named storms form in the month of August was in 1995. So far this year we have had 7 named storms form in August and if Hermine forms, we will tie that.

A new flare up has flared so expect maybe a tropical depression over the next 24 hours.

Merge....Errrr. 340 Miles from Gaston. It would need to pick up the pace. LOL. And it certainly has not been doing that. Look below.

LOL 2004's Parade of Storms. You have Cat 4 Hurricane Frances in the bottom Right Hand corner of the screen. You have soon to be Hurricane Gaston on you left hand side of your screen and then you have possible tropical Depression 8 in the middle

AF Met... Wondering if you could give a little more explanation around the issue of "feedback" and "pumping the ridge"? Thanks...
