I'll point out when they do it. They just did it a few days back with that frontal wave out in the middle of nowhere.

Flweather I'm arguing they shouldn't be x'ing those upper lows. But they do.

So whats the reasoning for naming some of the things that shouldn't be? And nhc does it all the time maybe not with this ul off Florida but other things in the north Atlantic over water that wouldn't be sustainable for tropical development.

I see no reason for them to name certain things they decide to name. Especially when I system is over cold water and is not truly a warm core system.

Hey, this looks like a 2021 Hurricane!!

I'm surprised there wasn't an X on it. This is what I was talking about btw. This is the type of stuff NHC decideds to name nowadays. How about that yellow X out in the middle of no where too? 

Sorry I should have said that earlier. I have no beef with this being hurricane over Barbados at all. It looked vertically aligned with thunderstorms going off over the center. My discrepancy is with the classification of hurricane over the gulf of mexico.

Thank you windspeed. Also I agree that this was a hurricane over Barbados I just disagree with the classification of hurricane after Cuba in the gom.

Well thanks for the schooling in classification of hurricanes. I guess I didn't account for speed of storm. That makes sense. But I thought besides the 75 mph classification there was more to it than that. Like a partial eye wall or something along those lines. Am I totally off there?

How can a small storm like andrew for example have a pressure of 974 at cat 1 strength. With an eye starting to show on visible and thats called a cat 1 then. But now a storm like elsa is a cat 1. 

Okay I see what the data shows and you are correct. But satellite presentation was not there for this storm at all and 996mb for a hurricane really? I don't know if hurricane classification has changed but at cat 1 30 yrs ago is very different from a cat 1 today. 

A few gusts at hurricane force doesn't qualify in my book as sustained at 75.

Looks to me like we have a cold mdr this year with below average activity. Not seeing why everyone's forecasting an above avg season. Maybe they are accounting for the garbage the nhc decideds to name nowadays. Don't think I've ever seen a hurricane as bad looking as elsa. I mean the aircraft recon even showed this was not a hurricane, yet noaa decided to throw away data and call it what they want.
