1. Excellent point by Hank Frank with regard to his analogy to Twister Outbreaks. Good point.

2. Often Tropical Storms are simply large messy areas of moisture with strong winds, low pressure and more than one center. One wins, some lose and sometimes energy hands off to a newer stronger center. Hard to say here what Alma was eating for lunch as the webcam couldn't pick up the details and the devil is often in the details.

3. Y'all might wanna up your numbers if this is an example of how things are gonna be at the NHC. Not Old School but if you have a large area of severe weather with winds higher than 40mph still over water and gusting to the 50s isn't it prudent to warn people as that is theirjob. Tell it like it is I say.

4. If conditions and various imagery don't exist for Arthur to pull north or nnw aren't y'all curious what the GFS was eating that kept making it repeat that same forecast over and over? Got to give it credit as so far it was on the money with a named storm. Though I think 6/1 and 6/2 was when it got interesting.

5. Looks like one big frontal trough in ways with Arthur sitting in the caboose.
