890s mb east or northeast of the Antilles would be a record. Actually, anything below 910mb (Dorian) would be a record outside of the GOM or Caribbean, so definitely, Good Luck!

You really think so? Seriously, what are the chances?

Stop eating at the RU food trucks. 

[LongBeachSurfFreak]

I’ll go with 915 165mph while passing PR longitude. 

[George BM]

145kts, 914mb peak.

Should create a website called WeatherBets. Get your over/under based off storms

[BristowWx]

Cantore is "worried" about a path between the B high and trough for it to push NW toward OBX...happen to just catch that few minutes ago...based on Euro...so he's saying there is a chance...slim one

Not the same, but you can bet on weather via weather futures and options:

Peak intensity in about 5-6 days at 915mb and 145kts. Landfall in about 13 days near OBX as a cat 3. Storm accelerates ENE and is eventually absorbed by the trough.

Potential Northeast storms are so annoying to track, most notably due to the constant influx of unnecessary 1938 comparisons that are bound to arise.

[LovintheWhiteFluff]

Should have handed this idiot an anemometer and asked him to get some data on Lee.

Good evening Will. You probably would have had less of a reaction if you had substituted ‘aerial copulation’ for the F word. Now the little ones relatives are all riled up. Stay well and forky may not forgive you fo awhile. As always ….

Which means there’s no chance

I didn't mean to trigger anyone the other day with my post about climate change alarmists. 

In 2005, 2007, and 2008, I had the privilege of speaking to the late great Dr. William Gray from Colorado State University. He empathized that hurricanes are controlled by things such as the thermohaline circulation, which has an impact on the AMO and hurricane activity. He was adamant about climate change not playing any role, or at least not enough of a role for us to take our eye off using funds towards tools to forecast hurricanes instead of combating climate change.

I guess I've spent the last 15 years trying to take Dr. Gray's advice to heart, given that he was the gold-standard as the lead hurricane forecaster for decades. (If you spoke to Einstein about theoretical physics, would you take his word or the word of someone on Twitter who likely has some kind of agenda?) So I get frustrated when I see people using every developing hurricane as a weapon for any kind of "I told you so" agenda with regards to climate change. Once you hear the facts from someone like Dr. William Gray, I find it difficult for anyone to convince me otherwise.

once i hear shit i’m comfortable with i just kinda roll with it

einstein was wrong about quantum randomness

 

but i wish i would’ve gotten the chance to speak with him as well

A cat 4 into long island? Nah let's get this baby to track up the NY harbor 

All jokes aside, as someone who can't chase hurricanes, I'd love to experience a cat 3-4 up here in my lifetime. I don't wish it but I won't deny my excitement should it happen
