Yeah, Kirk seems to mirror Isaac in a lot of ways. I didn't expect a lot of talk around this storm but should Kirk hang on for a while and in the unlikely chance he reaches favorable conditions this thread could really blow up. With the exception of Florence this year hasn't been very big for Cape Verde hurricanes. At least so far it hasn't... Anyway, conditions look pretty hostile right now for tropical development.

Got bumped back up to 70%. Look like if it stays around 10N it might have a chance to redevelop. 

It seems to be on a similar track as Isaac. And Isaac encountered a lot of shear. I am learning so please be patient... so has shear decreased?  Are environmental factors more favorable? 

Well, this is gross!

In the bible of our lord. It rained 40 days and 40 nights. Maybe what SE NC got like 2-3 days. It's a flood but nothing like our lord did. Low end event.

I am hoping I am not the only one here that finds this post to be uncomfortably strange, ill placed, and almost offensive. 

Back to the storm at hand...

After living through Harvey, Ike, (truly any storm in the last 40 years that has effected the Gulf Coast/ Houston ) recovery from Flo is going to be a long journey. My heart goes out to all of those in her path.

Storm was bad no question about it. But it wasn’t the “storm of a lifetime” nor “ the strongest to ever hit the east coast”. As media liked to hype pre storm. It all came down to blown intensity forecasts. Big difference between cat 4 and cat 1’s no matter how you slice it. 

Sadly, when the media hyped Harvey a lot of people did not listen (eh public officials).

If Flo had gained strength shortly before coming ashore we would all be singing a different tune. And from what I have read HERE it could have happened.

Mother Nature... gotta love her!

Isaac dealt with day and days of shear and has now opened to a tropical wave.  If it gets into the Gulf it has a very slight chance of redeveloping, but none of the global models are showing this currently.   All that said Isaac was tenacious its entire life, so it may be something to just keep an eye on.

Looking at the wind sheer in the Gulf, from an untrained eye, it looks to be minimal. The water is warm and I do not see a high pressure system reaching down this far in the near future.

Are there other factors to consider? (That is if it reaches the GOP as a wave)

Sorry for all the questions, I have always been interested in storm development, but I am trying to educate myself. I really want to learn, but I have always been afraid to ask.

Edit: One more question, if Isaac reorganizes will it be renamed or will it stay Isaac?

That's actually a disgusting thing to do. Shame on TWC.

Perhaps why so many no longer have faith in the media. Very sad.

Questions of interest:

Might this be the next system to watch?

Any chance Isaac will thread the needle between Cuba and Mexico? 

What might disrupt development or increase a chance for development? 

Ps: I am just a math teacher that loves weather so please forgive my ignorance.

yeah but do you like peanuts in your candy bars?

No, that's just gross.

Probably Autism. Mostly. Speaking as someone who can't help but be a little disappointed, and wishes I wasn't, but is drawn to extreme weather like a fly to a light.

I have been an avid follower of AWX since 2005.  Now I know why! On the spectrum.
