Re: Jeanne won't quit

Gaston strengthened while it was OVER Va. this year, and there was another that did the same thing within the last few years, but the name escapes me. I don't know what it is, but it's like tropical entities don't know Va. is a land mass.

This shows a good band wrapping around, and I believe the rotation seen is the mid-level low which the NWS said moved farther north than progged, and messed up the forecast.
Apparently, there was a tornado reported 10 miles (about) east of Philly today, which is about 20 miles from me.
The dew point here in S. Jersey reached 76 today.
