Re: Frances Weakens a Bit - Ivan forms in East Atlantic

Thank you for that understandable explanation. All the helpful people here are outstanding in their own way - it helps to get the 'whys' behind the 'when and where'. Our local mets here are mostly echoing NHC - but fox was doin the 'up the east coast of FL with the eye just offshore' as of 9pm last night. Uising some model they like to use here on severe weather.

<minirant>The guy from Good Day Live actually said today that Frances could intensify to a Cat IV or V by landfall... I wish someone would tell him that his guesses are not helping people who get all the news from tv! </minirant>

Essentially, Frances had lunch yesterday afternoon, ending up with an upset stomach. Now that it's had time to digest the low, it is back to strengthening over the open waters near the Bahamas.



OK ... that just got my funnybone... ty!
