    Welcome to this forum!

    Really? That dude is salivating for GOM Cat 5 more than anyone here. The reality is it will just become a formidable major hurricane again. Not wishcasting, just based on environmental influences here. This is really just dumb. GOL is a good poster.

    I thought "ghost..." was trolling new poster Moderately Unstable who has good posts. He's better than me who is a poor poster yet with passion.
    But me being new, this season I think (times so flies), "ghost of leroy" pops up a bit and I've been trolled. ;)
     

    Of course we all want Cat 5 storms every spin, but that is our nature but we cannot really say that. We really DO care about lives and costs.

    But really, secretly in our minds we all want the biggest storm ever on every spin. Just who we are.

    Sock puppet eh. What show do I star in? I can't wait for my reviews! Based on the last couple of days, RI may be relative. What was seen a couple of days ago was voracious and unusual. We should, based on the recent imagery coming in, expect I. The guidance says we should see more intensity, the microwave and IR imagery is improving, the above post referenced by Windspeed and JasonOH was in particular an "oh, well then", moment. I am taking the same approach as the NHC likely is about to right now, in not jumping the gun and rapidly changing their thinking. Hours back, folks were saying, it may be a 1! What a joke! etc. We can't swing 1-4-1-ts-4-5!. I still think a cat 3 peak is the most likely scenario. Big cat 3, maybe upper end cat 3, with extensive surge impact. But right now I go mid cat 3. Outflow does look a lot better, and historical context suggests good outflow is key in terms of sustaining and maintaining a clean core, which appears, again above, to be developing. To the two earlier posters who said the nice things welcomed me--thank you :). It is nice to have a place to discuss weather without being looked as though I have three heads.

    Delta is a triangle so I see it as inherently vaginal

    Maybe it is my age, maybe my Freudian nature by birth, maybe my basic primitive artistic vision of triangles and phallic images everywhere I look. But yea, Delta seems female to me. I do have some very good friends who would be eager to put me in my proper and deserved  place...

    But I'd still see what I see.

    My favorite part of being in the Greek alphabet was that nobody refers to the storm  as "HE" or 'SHE".

    Of course now someone did anyway.

    Alpha/Beta, that's a relationship concept, equally both ways. Gamma, who the f*** knows. Delta, I'd lean feminine, only from the visual I have. To be honest, I'm waiting for Hurricane Pi to kick some serious ass whether people call it male or female!

    Honestly, it's better that it keeps inching westward. If it hits areas recovering from Laura, there will be less damage, due to all the damage that is still left over from Laura. Hitting Lafayette or eastward would be another billion dollar disaster

    Nothing like banging an already bruised shin. Ouch.

    Better than banging the other one I guess...

    Delta continues to exhibit extremely strong convection over land. Looks to be halfway across now.

    Was watching three hours ago when the eye moved over land, so another three hours it should be back over water.

    Edited: It may actually be a lot closer to moving over the water than I thought...maybe an hour.

    You're trying to give points to a local forecast likely generated by a computer that they don't even really augment. 

    OK, let's say I am in Michigan, on my way to Cancun. I do not even know about AmericaMX, never ever look at NHC website, I'll think I'll be arriving for a vacation with a breezy day and have some tropical drinks. Because I check the Weather Channel website like most people do. UGH

    Might end up at the airport all packed up ready to fly down and be cancelled (if lucky).
