You are not taking into account that chasers have time to prepare with a hurricane with respect to wind direction, debris, etc. In those cases, chasers look at the upwind areas for sources of potential debris that could impact them. Chasers spend the days and hours prior to the storm looking for right locations to get the right camera shots and the wind velocities are reasonably predictable. The other issue with a tornado is that the much smaller diameter of a tornado means that debris will often be lofted downwind of you and it will not have time to fall out before coming back around. These are huge differences between the two.

Looks like SSTs pushing 90F?

My point was not really to derail the thread but just to get people to think a little bit about what's happening these days. I realize that these thoughts are a downer.

You are referring to the 1 in 1,000 year event last year?

Congrats if you can hold it.

Tellico, Do you have a link on that???

It’s down to 2F over here. Last hour, it was 3F at KMEM with a wind chill of -19F That was the 1am ob. Will it continue dropping?

What station is that?

Look at the map carefully. Some of that is lake effect.

It’s Baker!!!

Quick Question- Here's a weather belief that I hold and I want to know if it's true, false, or unresolved. For Gulf storms that landfall on the northern Gulf Coast or potentially traversing along the Florida West Coast... Does the land interaction cause or increase the risk that the storm turns to the right just before landfall (or, in the case of a storm like this, can it potentially cause it to "turn right" into a landfall)? I recall several strong hurricanes appearing to turn or jog to the right along the northern Gulf coast. Also, I'm talking generally...which may or may not be specific to this storm. Lastly, if this were the case, would this or would this not be factored in to the track forecast?

We had one of these days last year in Memphis with a foot of snow on the ground. A foot of snow on the level on Memphis, TN and the kids were in class. My internet - thankfully- got jacked up and I took the kids sledding. When I returned home, I discovered that somehow the power supply had been disconnected from the modem.

It's called a BLIZZARD. Now, thru just have to say the word in the forecast. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Models historically have underestimated Gulf moisturize when these type systems tap the Gulf. Think about that. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk
