Dixie, IMO Arlene probably should have been 3.5/4.0 several hours ago.

But I'm just an amateur.

I tend to agree with you, Sooner. I think the impact of Arlene will be greater than many think.

Recon beats satellite estimates. :)

If we didn't have recon, I would agree, it doesn't look like a 70 mph storm.

Recon found a somewhat dubious center in a time of transition.

I do notice, however, that this storm might be sucking some fairly dry air in, which would inhibit development significantly.

If Arlene becomes a cane, I don't see how she'll get much above 70 knots max.

And she might not get there. I don't know yet, but the media is certainly pumping hurricane, which they want because it boosts ratings.

I just watched a program earlier where idiots with no clue about intense hurricanes weren't too worried about an approaching cat-4 storm.

Minutes later they were running for their lives, and thinking they might not live.

Duh award for the evening.
