  1. Ana did transition to a purely tropical system, even if it will be short-lived.
  2. You essentially started the majority of system threads since the early part of last decade. I really hope there was a backup archive. Otherwise that is beyond unfortunate. Glad to read you are not leaving though.
  3. Wait, what? You're leaving? Wow, I just noticed a huge chunk of threads missing. Damn... Sheesh. Michael, Dorian, Irma (initial), Matthew threads. That's a huge amount of discussion gone forever.
  4. Zeta's post-season analysis upgrade to Category 3 puts the 2020 season at 7 major hurricanes, tied with 2005.
  5. Zeta is upgraded to Category 3 at Louisiana landfall in post analysis. Not surprising at all based on obs and data sets that were recorded. We had 94 mph sustained winds outside of the estimated highest returns. Perhaps the surprise is Zeta sustaining significant intensification over very marginal shallow shelf SSTs (25-26°C) prior to landfall. Though that may be explained by upper tropospheric temperatures in place at the late season date and mid-to-upper trough forcing ascent and lapse rates for Zeta's strong semi-circle eyewall structure.
  6. Is "nasty" an okay meteorological word for description?
  7. An absolute monster wedge presentation on radar as you're ever going to get...
