    September may be considered the peak of hurricane season, but October really takes the cake for producing some beasts all around the world. From Tip to Hagibis, to Hurricane Patricia, to Mitch, Wilma, Michael and now Delta.
  2. CheeselandSkies
    Yeah, no way this peaks as just at Cat. 2 unless shear comes in significantly higher than expected over the next 2-2 1/2 days.

    06Z hurricane models took a s*** just when it looked like all the stars were aligning for Delta to go nuts. We'll see if they got their systems flushed out properly at 12Z.

    Took Wednesday-Friday off this week so I can have a 5-day stretch to enjoy the nice weather. When I put in for the days off the forecast was still in fantasy range; but it worked out nicely.

    ...along with one scheduled for Janesville today, which was to replace the one scheduled for La Crosse that local authorities had urged him not to hold.

    92L?
  7. CheeselandSkies
    At least it will be nice(r).

    GFS-P and operational GFS both now have a significant storm in the 160-240 hour range. Ultimate track and landfall is still in fantasy range, but genesis really isn't at this point.

    Beta House giving it the ol' college try.

    That's what she said.

    At least one post on Storm2K already called Alpha (in reference to the Gulf TD) "she" since Wilfred is a male name.

    Probably won on a technicality since 22's recon had to bail.

    We can thank UW-Madison for that. But sure, let's play football.

    That forum needs emoji reactions. I'm "SconnieCane" on there.

    Yes, like I said though, pass on repeating the accompanying floods in '08. Far outstripped all the tornadoes except Parkersburg for impacts.

    There were some isolated reports early on of people with severe symptoms testing positive for both the flu and COVID-19. Could have been an issue with the early tests or they could genuinely have been infected with both viruses at the same time.

    Some people made comparisons to '05 early on, in terms of not only potential insane storm counts but also the potential of a western basin-based season without many if any strong hurricanes in the open Atlantic east of 50 degrees and south of 20. The intensifying-into-landfall them though was not there that season, although Wilma was at least holding its own on a secondary post-Yucatan peak after its initial, record-breaking one. The only storm in those two apocalyptic seasons that RI'ed into landfall was Charley.

    Accumulated cyclone energy. It's calculated by how long a storm lasts and how intense it gets. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accumulated_cyclone_energy

    ...and Maria, if you count U.S. territories. Of course, then 2018 would also qualify with Michael and Typhoon Yutu striking the Northern Marianas.

    That one behind Teddy raises my eyebrows a bit...it'll be an awfully low rider and Teddy has already reminded us you can't take early/pre-invest fishy runs for given even if there isn't a solid ridge across the Atlantic.
  21. CheeselandSkies
    Evidently you never saw "Jane the Virgin."
  22. CheeselandSkies
    I can't tell who's just straight up trolling and who is a wx weenie who's genuinely salty that, endless parade of named storm formations and land impacts notwithstanding; the cards were supposedly stacked in favor of this being the Atlantic's year to take both Pacific basins to the woodshed in terms of ACE and satellite porn and it just hasn't played out that way.

    Early January '08 torch actually brought tornadoes to northern IL and far southern WI. There's a well known video from on board a Union Pacific freight train as it gets de-railed by an EF3 at Lawrence (near Harvard), IL. https://www.weather.gov/lot/07Jan2008_tornado

    Could do without the floods of '08 though, especially since we essentially already saw them repeated in late summer 2018 except without the spinning things.
