  1. You’re trying to argue with a bunch of people who know climo but don’t give a shit. We have put in the labor over the years and are entitled to bitch.
  2. That’s what’s cool. Ignorance is bliss. Maybe we should only name hurricanes or do what other agencies do and split tropical storms into two groups starting at 48kts, only naming the more severe ones.
  3. Much more unusual genesis, nuclear wind gusts too. Spatial coverage exceeds Iowa too. Plus I am deducting some points for performance enhancements like corn dewpoints and more widespread coverage of trees to damage.
  4. It’s wasnt even the most interesting derecho of the year. That’s my true hot take for this thread.
  5. It’s not a bust yet. It’s just also not good or worth going to the mat for simply because we have found 15 closed circulations and some of them did things.
  6. Nothing I guess. But until some of those happen I won’t defend this season as being “good”.
  7. No, he just appreciates quality because he is Canadian and doesn’t have to swear fealty to the bud light 30 pack of hurricane seasons.
  8. I am pretty consistent. I remember getting bashed because I thought Dennis was underwhelming.
  9. I’m not saying you’re wrong objectively. The season is very active. I am more commenting on the subjective experience that people tracking the tropics feel. I was getting good tingles preseason. If you had told me we’d be to Omar on 9/1 back in the Spring I’d have felt even more excited...but this season is smoking the boof so far. I want better satellite porn, recon that doesn’t turn around and can actually transmit data, daytime landfalls, a solid sub 930 Caribbean cruiser, some MDR threats to Bermuda, and one or two storms threatening Atlantic Canada and the northeast. Some of those will come but I also suspect we are cursed a little. we can revisit after the secondary peak in October. I just hope you aren’t like “it’s 29/8/2...second best season ever”
  10. There’s a difference between “season fail” and hating all the storms that have formed save Laura for 18 hours. 15/4/1 is a weird flex.
  11. Give me 30’s to 50’s active period with missed storms instead of this nonsense.
  12. At least your grandma isn’t dead like both of mine
  13. God forbid they upgrade the GFS every couple years...that truly sounds terrible and I hope they rethink that strategy...
  14. Kids these days want instant gratification. They are not content to track a mere possibility of a major hurricane. They want it now.
  15. Yup. It’s called selling weather insurance and messing with agricultural futures.
  16. You know it’s bad when the guy who goes to the same highway pond hundreds of days a year is suggesting you get a life
  17. It’s 2020 and Murphy’s law is kicking in hard. We’ll probably see a 2004-2005 like barrage of hurricanes into the US.
  18. Because cat 5s are ubiquitous now. It’s not like the 80s and 90s. There are too many to keep track of now.
  19. Ascat is the worst. Can we go back to the old days where we just kinda didn't name midlatitude crap? 4 shit storms is killing my hype for the tropical season.
  20. donate for what? So we can read mappy scissoring with phin? I’ll take the ads. They drive me away and towards more productive internet usage.
  21. They’re content to take trumps money to run misleading and racist ads. Shows you where their values are.
