The Storm that Would not Die
10:26 PM EDT - 13 June 2001

The remnants of Allison are still haunting the Southeast US, near North/South Carolina. Regeneration is still a possibility, although somewhat unlikely. It will remain a fairly strong storm center regardless.

Flooding has happened from Texas to the Panhandle, with deadly consequences. This storm will be a memorable one for many, as the effects were spread across a fairly wide area, even though the storm itself never was more than a Tropical Storm.

Tropical systems, and even moreso hybrids like Allison, you always expect the unexpected and must not let your guard down. Water was the killer here from this terribly slow moving storm.

Otherwise there isn't much in the Atlantic other than a wave near the central part of it. The time of the year is not right for anything to come of that, however.

okay scott, good job. you foresaw allison's low nearing the virginia capes ten days before it happened, just like we all should have.
anyhow, looks like we're back to the usual june boredom, once allison fizzles. not many junes have had more than one, and those that have were usually slow seasons. gray says this one will be above average, so we could be looking at a month of nothing.
LOL Hank Frank , How have you been (#18)

Hey Hank Frank how have you been these day's, Have not had the pleasure to chat with you this season yet, hope to see you pop over at East Coast again, I really enjoyed talking with you last season during Hurricane Gordon. You make some really great points during the season. Well just really wanted to say hello to all here at CFHC and what a great job they are doing here, keep it up all of you. Have a safe Hurricane season and keep them posts coming.

hey mike.. i havent done a chat w/ anyone before, i usually just post. i think there's another guy who goes by just hank. luck with finding him, bet he's waiting for something meaner than allison to spin up. might as well ask, anybody know the link to gary gray's hurricane page? i can find millenium weather, but not the page from last year, where he posted all of his thoughts. did he change it? if that site is still up, i could use the link.
allison's leftovers look neat tonight. the tease is getting old, though. send us barry.

dang.. its late. found that link i was looking for, finally. just checked the conditions at ocean city, pressure down to 1005, east winds at 15kt.. center hasnt passed yet, as of 3am. the doppler radial velocity shows winds around 45 kt above the sfc.. if the center gets offshore, they could work down to ocean level, give new england some gale warnings and such. that little bugger is still hanging on, going into its 13th day of existence.
Sorry Hank Frank (#22)

Im sorry I thought you were someone that I chatted with last season at my site, Gee what a dumb bunny I am, well I have also enjoyed reading your posts this season as well. Keep up the good work and maybe we can chat one day anyway. Im in my chat room all the time, always happy to chat with people during the season. I left the link to the site with this post so if you want to come over and just make some good conversation you are always welcome. Scott good job with your site, checked it out the other day, Nice call with the Allison system.

Allison Gone!! Tropical Wave Approaching Carribean?? (#23)
Posted by: Mark Location: Ft Myers Fla
Posted On 12:44PM 17-Jun-2001 with id (QRNWWNQSRNQUU*)

Allison continues to dump heavy amounts of rain over the northeast and midatlantic states but its finally moving out to sea. An area about 48 hours east of the caribean continues to hold together and is moving w-nw. There is no sign of circulation but conditions are not all unfavorable for it to hold its own as it it enters the caribean. Forcast models take this wave into the central caribean durring the comming week as a upper high builds aloft moving in tandem with this wave. This area needs to be monitored over the next week but its nothing to worry about right now.
no problem (#24)

yeah mike ill come chat sometime. dont expect me to say anything bright though. i tend to overestimate the chances a storm has. probably the most accurate posters here, im my opinion.. jj and ed dunham. neither had much to say about allison, but they were on the money often last year.
allison is represented by that little L on maps, so i guess it isnt fully extratropical yet. looks like the rich kennedy types out on martha's vineyard get a blustery evening. the allison system has 41 deaths attributed to it (some probably indirect); thats an ominous start to the season.

Wave Coming Off Africa (#25)

TWD at 8:05 made mention of a strong cyclone that will be coming off the African Coast by 00Z 19 June (i think probably sooner). Unusual for them to mention a system when it's still over the continent. They mentioned it as a 900 - 750 mb system. So it has some strong characteristics coming off. Not just a bunch of T'Storms looking for low pressure to happen. Conditions should be favorable during the next few days. Let's watch. Cheers!!
