Guest Imperator Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 IMHO, I think it's a waste of government resources to classify a minimal storm that will be inland later today and completely dissipated by tomorrow. I think a general population wouldn't be able to tell the difference between a minimal tropical storm and a day of rain and wind anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxtrackercody Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Honduras and Nicaragua are extremely susceptible to flash flooding and mudslides from even weak and slow-moving systems. The duration of a tropical cyclone is not part of the official definition, nor should it be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Srain Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 New Invest 96L in the Gulf of Honduras and 93E S of the Gulf of Tehuantepec in the Eastern Pacific. The monsoonal trough certainly is active this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil882 Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 It also looks like the remnant circulation of Hannah is back out over the Caribbean. Not impressive from a convective perspective, but still has a circulation looking at first light visible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not impressive from a convective perspective, but still has a circulation looking at first light visible. Yes, the visible loop shows what appears to be a well-defined circulation near the island of Roatan, moving westward. It won't have much time to reorganize, though, before moving into Belize.

wxmx Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Naked swirl NW of Roatan island. Shear is >20kts and increasing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superstorm93 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 95L appears to be producing winds up to TS force... May see another weak system move out to sea if it can consolidate another LLC under the convection. Previous circulation was ejected earlier today.

AvantHiatus Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Mindblown. I have heard of sub-tropical cyclones in this basin but never hurricanes. It appears there have been a few rare analogs, SST's are very warm, some areas nearing the 26C benchmark for TC formation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mediterranean_tropical_cyclone#November_2011_.28Rolf.2F01M.29 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mediterranean_tropical_cyclone#Known_occurrences_and_impacts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
