Beautiful eye

#1 Postby Anonymous » Thu Jul 07, 2005 3:19 am

Looking at the floater, the 11th and 12th frame skips a bit. Seems the center is located a bit more north with a nicely formed eyewall now.

I'm not saying the jog means anything before anyone gets on my back.

Just saying any little skip more north is further devestation for jamaica.

In the past, how has a strong cat 2 to 3 affect a ridge?

Tropical Cyclones usually don't effect a ridge that much. The Cyclone usually takes what the Ridge gives.(path of least Resistance).

A tropical cyclone over cat3 can pump laten heat/energy into the Atmosphere in which builds a ridge to the north. The stronger the hurricane the more energy it can pump into the Atmosphere=A more westward movement for Caribbean or Tropical Atlatnic system.


OMG look at the satellite now. That is a classic small cdo around a small clouded over pin hole eye. In some blacks are starting to form over the northeastern quad. Expect a cat2 very soon. Maybe even a cat3 Jamaica landfall.
