hlcater Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Wasn't sure where to put this and there isn't really a place for it, but seeing as Stewart has been around since 1999 and is well known by those who read the discussions, I figured it was newsworthy enough to warrant its own (albeit small) thread. https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/pdf/stewart_retirement_010122.pdf 5 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stewart last ever discussion Quote ZCZC MIATCDAT1 ALL TTAA00 KNHC DDHHMM Tropical Storm Wanda Discussion Number 30 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL212021 900 AM GMT Sun Nov 07 2021 Wanda is barely hanging on as a sheared tropical storm due to a small burst of deep convection located in the southeastern quadrant. The initial intensity has been maintained at 35 kt based on earlier 30-kt ASCAT data being co-located with the new burst of deep convection. Little or no change in strength is expected during the next 36 hours due to southwesterly vertical wind shear increasing to more than 40 kt by 18-24 hours, and sea-surface temperatures decreasing to less than 20 deg C beneath the cyclone. In the 18-24-h period, Wanda is expected to merge with a rapidly approaching cold front currently located to its west, becoming extratropical tonight and dissipating over the far northeastern Atlantic on Monday. The initial motion estimate is now 050/15 kt. There are no significant changes to the previous forecast track and rationale. During the next 24 hours or so, Wanda is expected to continue accelerating northeastward ahead of a strong deep-layer trough and associated cold front. After merging with the front system, the extratropical low should maintain a fast northeastward motion until it dissipates by 48 hours. The new NHC forecast track is very similar to the previous advisory track, and lies close to the tightly packed consensus track models.

etudiant Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 A serious loss. I cannot understand why such an enormously talented and skilled individual is not taken up by some meteorological site. I'd pay to read what this man thinks, suspect others might as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tezeta Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Stewart was a terrible weenie for a long time but in the last half decade or so really has turned into a top notch forecaster and disco writer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine finally retiring and getting to do whatever you want and a bunch of weenies on a weather board come bothering you to start writing forecasts and discussions again 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed, snow and hurricane fan Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 He has his NOAA and Navy pensions. But yes, he could absolutely do the John Hope/Neil Frank thing and go into television weather. He wrote the pre-landfall in Texas Ike advisory just weeks after returning to NHC from rehab for an IED injury in Iraq that nearly cost him his leg. He volunteered for combat duty in the Navy reserve, his prior reserve duty, IIRC, was 2 weeks at the JTWC each year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floydbuster Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 I wish him the best in retirement! His discussions were my absolute favorites. Cool guy too, he was very nice when I met him back in '05. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master of Disaster Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 I met him in person during a EM class there. All of them were super cool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
