Emily 2005 & Earl 2004

[HouTXmetro]

Does anyone remember how Earl was trucking across the Atlantic as a tropical storm. I recall the NHC 5 day forecast showed the Storm entering the Gulf and threatening the Upper TX/ LA coast as a Hurricane. Guess what, the storm ended up dying off around the Yucatan/ Belize area. How did the NHC get it so wrong? Perhaps Emily will do the same.

I think it could do the same thing. Possibly without the weakening though, since Earl was moving too fast and the LLC outran the convection.

Earl had come from 9N 46W to 12N 59W, moving at about 20-25mph,but after that time he only had wind speeds of 45mph with a pressure of 1005mb.. Emily seems to be quite a bit more powerful

Emily was moving 19 mph at the last update... I'm not sure that's "slow."

[Scorpion]

Earl was moving close to 30 mph.

Earl was moving close to 30 mph.

Damn! I mean... I stand corrected.

Just had to mention Earl, didn't you?!?!?!? Great! Now I have that dang song in my head.

"...'Cuz Earl had to di-i-i-i-ie...nah nah nahnah nah nah naaaaaaaaah!"



ARGH!

I don't think Emily will turn out to be too much of anything and that might be a good thing...the Caribbean needs a break (we all do)....and there seems to be plenty behind it....look what's about to move off Africa.

[Brent]

Earl was never that impressive though... it always looked weak.

IF Emily continues to look sick overnight, then I will say it could fall apart, but she did this same thing yesterday during the day. Watch after dark...

Sometimes moving rapidly is not that bad! Ask Charley!
