It is NOT endorsed by any professional institution including storm2k.org For Official Information please refer to the NHC and NWS products.

I can see it now if 97L becomes Dennis, becomes a hurricane, and strikes the US as one:

Dennis: "I told you guys I was hurricane at landfall back in '99!"

Of course, we know it wasn't, but it was DARN close....70 mph and I distinctly remember an eye trying to re-develop. This after it had weakened from a Cat. 2 to a 50-mph tropical storm after spending several days off the coasts of NC and VA.

He tried to be hurricane and landfall....will he try again in '05?

I've gotta feeling this season may be just as active as 1995.. maybe even more..

If you also remember.. Before last year.. 1995 was the last time we were impacted by a hurricane here.. A young lady named Erin came calling lol

If it walks like a duck and quack like a duck

#11 Postby Guest » Mon Jul 04, 2005 5:21 pm

If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck .. then it can't be Mr Snuffleupagus.

That thing to the southeast of the windward islands surely looks like a cyclone and spins like a cyclone ...

Remember some years ago when recon when to investigate a disturbance east of the Windward Islands it was upgraded straight to Tropical Storm? It might have been a Chantal ... can't remember which but there were about two or three going at the same time.

This disturbance has such good rotation and feeder bands I am wondering if it is not stronger than a tropical depression.

Claudette from 2 years ago never had a closed circulation until it became a tropical storm. This one has a closed circulation

I remember that well. Wind gusts over 50 mph in the Islands. Recon got out and spent hours in the system, didn't find a circulation. Just as they were leaving they were able to barely close one off. It was racing at 25 mph during that time.

I think it should be upgraded based on surface observations from the islands.......MGC

I agree and also satellite photos. Definately looks like a closed circulation.

Cycloneye, is this pounding we're getting right now in any relationship to what is below us (according to the radar, it's only us getting it right now?)? Lightening, thunder, SERIOUS rain. And that weird yellow light! :eek:

Well indirectly it has to do with what is SE of us as bands of rain in squalls are moving from the east on the northern perifery of 97L.
