Re: Undramatic Pause

J.C.:

A link to the 2pm tropical models (including the 76kt figure): http://twister.sbs.ohio-state.edu/text/tropical/atlantic/models/05081918

However, this essentially means nothing. The 76kt figure assumed a tropical depression with 25kt winds at the time the information was fed into the model; that was not an accurate representation of reality. (And of course, even if that had been an accurate representation of reality, the 76kt figure would be a tool to help analyze the disturbance, not a hard-and-fast figure to rely upon.)
