Re: Hurricane Vince forms in the Far Eastern Atlantic

Yo, Josef. Vince is an itty bitty hurricane, and due to its location, info on the actual intensity is hardly going to be definitive.

Hurricanes are as strong as their surrounding have the ability to sustain them. The magic temp for development is 26.5 C, but the situation with Vince is a bit more complicated, as noted earlier, and not wholly dependent upon the water temperature. I just want to assure you that this isn’t the same deal as Katrina and all the horrible images that have come out of the Northern Gulf Coast, so you don't need to panic or anything.

You can check the NHC for maps and discussions, and feel free to ask here if you have any questions.
