  1. He was the one who was insulting someone else  who made a very good point about old standards not applying and then he responded with talking about an "isolated" event which it very clearly is not (and which we've extensively talked about in another thread.)  "These" guys is just one person who poked his little head in where it didn't belong.  I fully understand the conversion, I do it in my head (5/8 or 0625 miles in one km).  I'm not sure how much one understands about climate if one actually believes that anything occurs in "isolation" everything is part of much greater system and feedback mechanisms.  There is no such thing as "isolation".
     
    That's the thing about climate, everything is linked... Jet stream, ocean currents, everything...

  2. Is that common or an outlier?
    Really an outlier

    Normally a weak storm will survive those peaks intact, but it in this case, they tightened and amped the core to the point it quickly gained hurricane status when hitting the gulf

  3. Mountains disrupt the low level center of established storms. Less organized weaker storms can sometimes make it through the mountains or, be completely torn apart: 
    I wasn’t referring to the mountains of Cuba or Hispaniola though. I was referring to the environment of the eastern Caribbean which tends to be hostile for a number of reasons  
    Case in point: Laura ORGANIZING over the Cuban mountains last year...

  4. While we were all distracted by the historic Pacific Northwest Heatwave of 2021 the 5-day daily extent in the NH dropped below 2020 for this date. It is now the 4th lowest for this date.
    Are we looking at different data? Cause, the chart shows it is still above 2012...395018554171274b1ca35c14bebfa3b5.jpg

  5. KFCX had a hardware failure and they had to order a part.  Could be up as early as today.  KRAX is replacing a generator.  Likely down through tomorrow.
    Ouch on both, talk about horrible timing

  6. NAM shows a good amount of 0-3km helicity over NC on Thursday...  Sig Tor Parameter around 1-2. .  Limiting factor appears to be instability...  progression of warm front and time of day will play big.
    Each of the last 4 runs have slowed down the progression
