Unless I am mistaken, its the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) that decides whether to retire a name. Any country that has had a major impact by a storm can request that a name be retired.

Did anybody notice if there was much of a pressure change as the circulation crossed Florida?
I am not a weather "professional" but would the horrible pressure in my head that came on late yesterday through this morning be any sign of the pressure dropping in that storm? It was horrible. I had the same during just before it passed right over us. It came on so quickly and so strong, it hurt to open my eyes. Would those weather patterns have that kind of effect?

Depending on the person, yes. Any change in pressure up or down can produce headaches. I've had one since yesterday. I live just outside FTL. Outside these storms we get very little pressure change during this time of year.

>>> T-Numbers on that system behind Lisa are up to 2.0. Looks like we may have TD14.
NRL still has 93L & 94L, so probably no new TDs at 5:00.

I realize the hand-off, but there is a piece before that where the HPC model contains projections beyond the normal 5-day TPC predictions...the storm approaching Cape Hatteras on this link:
http://www.hpc.ncep.noaa.gov/basicwx/day0-7loop.html
Is this 7th day forecast a TPC or HPC prediction?

Whenever a hurricane has had a major impact, any country affected by the storm can request that the name of the hurricane be “retired” by agreement of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). Retiring a name actually means that it cannot be reused for at least 10 years, to facilitate historic references, legal actions, insurance claim activities, etc. and avoid public confusion with another storm of the same name. If that happens, a like gender name is selected in English, Spanish or French for Atlantic Storms.
There is an exception to the retirement rule, however. Before 1979, when the first permanent six-year storm name list began, some storm names were simply not used anymore. For example, in 1966, “Fern” was substituted for “Frieda,” and no reason was cited.

Not asking too much:
For the explanations, you're going to have to google search some of this stuff, but here's off the top of my head:
SST - Sea Surface Temperature
SSTA - Sea Surface Temperature Anomalies (departures from normal based on "x" years)
ULL - Upper Level Low
MLC - Mid Level Circulation
LLC - Low Level Circulation
TUTT - Tropical Upper Troposphereic Trough
MJO - Madden-Julian Oscillation (1 "L" or 2?)
AO - Artic Oscillation
SOI - Southern Oscillation Index
PDO - Pacific Decadal Oscillation
QBO - Quasi-biennial Oscillation
If you can think of any more, PM me and I'll try to get you answers.

Thanks Clark. JB must have been referring to an inhouse Accuweather model.

As for the $0.50 a day comment, his column was low key today in comparison to what you usually get. You also get about 20 kinds of radar, forecast models and 2 or 3 daily streaming videos from Joe which pictoralize his commentary.

After seeing the death count in Hispaniola, most of which was in Haiti (they can't catch a break this year), I'm wondering if will retire Jeanne this year as well as the three we know are already gone. <snip>
I think Jeanne, and will be retired. I'm not sure about <snip>
I read earlier this year that "Frances" was already scheduled for retirement before the hurricane formed. France asked and was granted the request.
Frances in Spanish means 'France' and the French didn't want any confusion.
I was wondering about Gaston retirement myself.
And I think I saw somewhere something about large death tolls in Haiti don't automatically cause hurricane name retirement. Sad.

I can personally confirm this - my wisdom teeth, which bother me on occasion and eventually need to come out, were driving me nearly to tears for the duration of . It wasn't extremely low of course, but I'm guessing it was the duration.
And Steve, I made sure to include a 'yet' for just that reason. If the forecasts I see start solidifying, and moreso if I don't hear any more talking-down about the , I just might make the investment next season (hopefully by then I'll be a less-poor-than-I-am-now college student).

...but before Jeanne can retire, we have to deal with the fact she is still out there, alive and kicking up a fuss and lot of confusion.
Looking at http://www.nrlmry.navy.mil/tc_pages/04_ATL_11L.JEANNE_ssmi_gif_full.html
I can start to fear, worry about or at least note a perceived trend developing with her forecasts. There seems to be a growing trend to point North Westerly in her future path. Many of the models, while very undecided, seem to show a tendency toward the NW. I know it is *way* too early to call a landfall, but IF this *is* a trend Phil, you may have a female visitor in your area, and not the one with the fulll lips you'd hope to be getting a visit from.

I only want that visitor if it is to spare Fl. another hit. That's why I asked scottsvb (who predicted CAT III strength) where and when he anticipated that...
Today being the anniversary of the Long Island Express, AKA Great New England Hurricane, (for interesting reading, click here), this is THE prime time for these bad boys and girls to make an appearance up further north...

Most models have been trending further north, even the . The UKMET and the have had it consitently landfalling in the Outer Banks area. I saw that article in the newspaper too, and I agree with LI phil; I only want a hurricane if it would was going to hit Florida. Maybe this could be another LI hurricane, I'm optimistic and I have to weigh that in comparison to some other things. If the ridge breaks down and propgates westward, then I think we're spared but if doesn't proprogate at all, and erodes then were in for a rude awakening. Once the possible scenario comes into play, all us LIers will be seeing a media hype beyond belief!

The HPC and TPC both track storms while over water and come up with separate track forecasts on their own. The TPC points are the one everyone is familiar with; the HPC progs. are not as widespread but are reflected in their forecasts. They predicted would travel a bit further west than the did, for instance, even though they didn't pan out with that forecast.
Both groups get the chance to put out their points during the 6-hrly conference calls (4 & 10 am & pm), but the TPC has the final say for the general public. And, once inland and no longer a tropical threat, the turns things over to the HPC, something they've started doing a bit more frequently (and quickly) over the past year or two.
