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.

it appears that the center of Allison is almost fully off the coast. Feel free to agree or disagree with what I think i see. Also, if anyone can find a closer doppler radar for just north of Wilmington NC, please tell me the web site. Please post your thoughts. Thanks



sorry (#10)

I mistook something on the radar for the center. The center is really still near the coast

By looking at Radars out of NC the center is right on the coast and may be off the coast soon.

allison is a tease (#13)

swansboro.. thats the little coastal town just east of camp lejeune that allison's center has been camping over all evening. if the low drifts just a few miles south over onslow bay, or northeast to pamlico sound, or does anything to get just TEN or so miles offshore, it can come back some... but i doubt it will. the front approaching from the west should start drawing allison back inland or northward. maybe it'll start picking up strength in the approaching baroclinic zone, but not as a tropical system.

oh yeah, alex.. if you want radar sites, go to wunderground.com and look at nexrad. the one out of morehead city is the closest.

allison has gone too far north to redevelop, and is still inland. pressure is 1007 mb by the last report from edenton. should start to merge with the approaching frontal system, move up the coast.
i'll be interested to see how the nhc best track looks when they post analyze the storm. allison was arguably a tropical storm when it crossed louisiana and mississippi, by structure, pressure (down to 1000 mb near picayune, ms, the lowest it ever went during the system's lifespan) and offshore gale force winds.

still NO (#16)

Well like I said 10 days ago, allison will
move eastward to the midatlantic states very
slowly and not redevelop.I'm good, and get
a cookie. She is a gale hybrid low since texas
and will get caught up with the aproaching cold
front like someone else already indicated.

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.
