  1. Lol Tropical Depression Fred Discussion Number 19 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL062021 500 AM EDT Sat Aug 14 2021 The interaction with the landmass of Cuba has significantly disrupted the circulation of Fred. In fact, radar data from Cuba, satellite images, earlier ASCAT data, and surface observations suggest that the system is likely an open trough with the strongest winds and deep convection occurring to the south of central Cuba. Fred is being maintained as a tropical depression for now, but data from the Air Force Hurricane Hunters later this morning will likely confirm if it is a depression or not. The initial intensity is held at 30 kt based on the aforementioned ASCAT data. Bands of heavy rain are now spreading across the Florida Keys. The initial motion of 295/11 kt is highly uncertain since its not clear if Fred has a center. Even though the storm has moved farther west than previously expected, the overall track forecast reasoning has not changed much. Fred is expected to turn northwestward by tonight and northward by Sunday night as the cyclone rounds the western periphery of a subtropical ridge. The new track forecast has been nudged to the west again to be in better agreement with the latest model consensus aids. Based on the new track forecast, Fred is expected to pass west of the lower Florida Keys later today and make landfall along the western Florida Panhandle or Alabama coast Monday night or early Tuesday. Although Fred is very disorganized at the moment, the global models show the circulation becoming better defined tonight or on Sunday as the cyclone moves over the eastern Gulf of Mexico in slightly lower wind shear conditions. The storm is expected to strengthen some during the next couple of days, but significant intensification seems unlikely as southerly shear is anticipated to increase before the system reaches the Gulf coast on Monday. GFS and ECMWF simulated satellite images show an asymmetric cyclone with most of the associated convection and stronger winds on its east side while Fred moves across the Gulf of Mexico. After landfall, steady weakening is expected, and Fred is likely to dissipate by the middle of next week. The NHC intensity forecast is largely an update of the previous one and lies near the high end of the model guidance. KEY MESSAGES: 1. Today through Monday, heavy rainfall could lead to areal, urban, and small stream flooding impacts, and cause new and renewed river flooding, across southern Florida, the Big Bend, and Panhandle. From Monday onward, heavy rain and flood impacts could extend into other portions of the Southeast and into the southern and central Appalachians and Piedmont as Fred interacts with a front in the area. 2. Tropical storm conditions are expected in portions of the Lower Florida Keys later today, where a Tropical Storm Warning is in effect. 3. There is a risk of tropical storm conditions in the Florida Panhandle and coastal Alabama beginning on Monday. Watches may be required for a portion of this area later today.

  2. Not much strengthening with Grace either going on per 5am disco Tropical Storm Grace Discussion Number 4 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL072021 500 AM AST Sat Aug 14 2021 The cyclone has become a little better organized overnight, with an area of concentrated convection persisting over the center for the past several hours. The system remains compact, with the convective canopy about 100 n mi in diameter, while earlier ASCAT data revealed winds greater than 25 kt extended only about 30 n mi from its center, with peak winds of 27 kt. Despite the weaker maximum winds sampled earlier this evening, the increase in organization of such a small system has likely produced a notable increase in the surface winds near the center. In addition the latest Dvorak intensity estimates from TAFB, SAB, and the UW-CIMSS ADT and SATCON suggest that the intensity is now somewhere between 30 and 45 kt. Based on a conservative blend of these values, it is estimated that the Tropical Depression Seven has strengthened into 35-kt Tropical Storm Grace. Grace continues to move quickly westward, with an initial motion of 280/19 kt. A strong mid-level ridge to the north of the storm should continue to steer it westward for the next few days. Beyond that time, the forecast models begin to diverge in their track solutions, as they vary in the strength of the ridge. Overall, the models have trended toward a stronger, more persistent ridge to the north of the cyclone for the latter half of the forecast period, and as such the model solutions are generally showing a track that lies a bit south of the previous runs for those time periods. The official NHC forecast track is little changed through 72 h and lies near the middle of the tightly clustered track guidance. Beyond 72 h, the forecast track has been shifted slightly to the south, but still lies to north of the consensus model tracks. The earlier bout of wind shear that had entrained surrounding dry air into Grace appears to have abated, at least in the short term. And, global models indicate that the shear will remain low for about the next 24-36 h while the cyclone moves over increasing SSTs. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that strengthening should occur over the next day or so. Thereafter, the intensity forecast becomes somewhat complicated as the system is forecast to interact with an upper-level trough while possibly crossing the Greater Antilles at the same time. Slight weakening is indicated in the NHC intensity forecast as the system crosses the northern portion of the Dominican Republic early next week. Thereafter, moderate to strong northerly shear is forecast to impact Grace as the system moves into the flow on the western side of an upper-level trough over the western Atlantic. This shear should prevent any further strengthening through the end of the forecast period. The intensity forecast is a little lower than a blend of the NOAA HCCA and IVCN consensus, as there is likely a high bias from the HWRF in these solutions. The latter portion of the NHC intensity forecast is of lower-than-normal confidence due to the potential for a longer amount of time over the rugged terrain of the Greater Antilles than indicated, and also due to the fragile nature of the small cyclone and the possible effects of the stronger shear later in the forecast period. Key Messages: 1. Tropical storm conditions are expected in portions of the Leeward Islands by tonight or early Sunday, and the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico on Sunday. Tropical storm conditions are also possible over the British Virgin Islands on Sunday. The risk of strong winds will then spread westward to the Dominican Republic Sunday night and Monday. 2. Heavy rainfall could lead to flash and urban flooding over the Leeward and Virgin Islands. Across Puerto Rico, heavy rainfall may lead to flash, urban and small stream flooding, along with the potential for mudslides. 3. There is a risk of wind and rainfall impacts across Haiti, the Turks and Caicos Islands, the southeastern Bahamas, Cuba, and Florida next week, and interests in those areas should monitor the progress of this system.

On the forecast track, the center of the storm is forecast to move over the Leeward Islands tonight, over the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico on Sunday, and then over the Dominican Republic on Monday. Maximum sustained winds are near 40 mph (65 km/h) with higher gusts. Some strengthening is forecast during the next couple of days. Weakening is expected early next week as the system interacts with the Greater Antilles. Grace is a small tropical storm. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 25 miles (35 km) from the center. The estimated minimum central pressure is 1007 mb (29.74 inches).
  4. @MillvilleWx That looks great... probably spent a couple thousand for that delicious food lol
  5. Question is, as was stated in the 5pm disco, is track. Path for now is same that Fred took, which may cause TD 7 to not intensify as much

  8. I know... I remember him hating biker week though
  9. I thought he would be hanging out with all the bikers
  10. Yankees owned the Rangers in every playoff match up until 2011. Even with Rusty Greer, Juan Gonzales, Rafael Palmerio, and Ivan Rodriguez... couldn't get past them in the 1st round
  11. So I'm sure the great mod banned them ofc
  12. Who should have won the WS in 2011... and won't be making the playoffs anytime soon
  13. This is a weather board... so it should be for weather. Political can go in OT or it's own board. The powers that be said no politics (the announcement like two months ago) and it seems many didn't listen
  14. Lol just because I don't post there doesn't mean I don't know what's going on from others who do
  15. I think this thread has run its course... just going to continue devolving. Make a new one @Baroclinic Zone
  16. Cause the majority posted at a known racist board... um so yeah, there were reasons
  17. Sounds like what Jonger does everyday
  18. Uh no... Patriots - WFT tonight
