Thanks for correcting my mistake, I have much to learn from you guys. I wouldn't say I'm wishcasting (or what you call it) but it's they way I think, reverse psychogly, if I say it's going to happen it doesn't(or something along those lines). But your right, I never really experinced a strong hurricane, expect Gloria so I don't now what it's like, I'm only a beginner at this.

I think the best we can hope for is that while it is not an immediate threat to land it will go ahead and reach its maximum intensity and then be on the wind down by the time it gets near land. That way any troughiness, cold front, or upperlevel anomaly would have more shearing effect on whats left. I know that the models do not give this information this far in advanced, but no one needs this hurricane to be a CAT 5 unless it is out in the middle of the Pacific Ocean going in circles.

Charley was scary enough here in Orlando, don't want to think about a possible stronger storm hitting here.

It's obviously way to early to try to pinpoint a landfalling position. The dubious thing is that this will make a US mainland landfall. There is no escaping that at this point. The ridge will certainly be strong enough to bring the storm to east coast if not across Florida and into the Gulf. It's really amazing to me, even after all these years studying canes and meteorology in general, how in awe of these things I am. Frances is just an amazing storm already, and she hasn't even hit 50W. The "buzz-saw" look to it just reminds me so much of Andrew and it's obviously taking a somewhat similar track (generalization, i.e. the upcoming bend back to the west) as its 1992 counterpart. It's looks like it's going to be bad news for someone.

Looks like she's getting more symetrical, I guess that means she's strengthening even more. Maybe it would be a Cat. 4 at 11, or maybe 5 tomorrow morning. Thats not good news to have that strong of a storm still far out there in the Atlantic, hope it doesn't reach Cat. V.

Without the benefit of recon and due to the fact that daytime strengthening will probably have diminished, I would think it highly unlikely there will be any upgrade before tomorrow. It's already strengthened from a TD to a CAT III in 48 hours (give or take). However, if the Dvorak's come in high at the 2345Z, it's possible, but unlikely. Add to the fact that, while it is a CAT III, it's just barely a CAT III, so it would take a fairly good amount of strengthening to make the jump. Will be watching it tho...

That's true, I forgot their not doing recons yet. That is quite a big leap in intensity.

Has anyone seen or heard mention of the Low located North of Frances and East of TD7. Or have I missed something somewhere?
More specifically located at 28.9N and 65.2W at 0015Z.
Nice low level circulation and convection appears to be firing up. Another problem to reckon with.
What nam,e comes after "Gaston"?

2345 T#s [Re: danielw]
      #21065 - Sat Aug 28 2004 12:39 AM

27/2345 UTC 31.3N 78.2W T1.5/1.5 07
27/2345 UTC 16.0N 50.0W T5.0/5.5 Frances

As I suspected, not only will Frances not be upgraded at 11:00, it's possible (though not likely) she might even be downgraded. Still a weak CAT III. And that's where she'll be by morning light.

Thanks Guppygrouper. I see TPC/NHC is keeping an eye on it too! They should be running out of eyes-no pun intended.
I see 4 tropical systems on 1 satellite shot.

Actually, the more, the better. Then they may start interfering with each other and keep anything from being completely out of control.Besides, I don't really care for the name Hermine, and don't think even a hurricane should get stuck with it.

Well taking a guess that if Frances hits the east FL coast ............and I say when rather than if that it will cut across the state like Charley did and be backdoor action for the gulf side.

Probabilities of a SC impact? [Re: James88]
      #22204 - Tue Aug 31 2004 10:09 PM

I am watching the current track of Frances and even with the ridge of pressure that is supposed to keep it south of South Carolina what is the likihood of a more northward turn?

I have noticed in the past that a sharp turn to the north is fairly consistent even with the high pressure ridge.
