It's where I found out how dangerous Katrina would be.

5. Once it crosses into cooler waters....
...it probably will. Here's a graphic of the sea-surface temperatures:



The system is currently centered in the warmer than normal Gulf Stream and will move to the cooler coastal waters in the next 12 hours. This should cut off the convective fuel necessary for further development. (The water temperatures are between 66 - 70 F).

Pardon my weather ignorance.

4. It's a cutoff low
and likely to sit there and swirl around for some days before it gets moving.

We got one of those last winter in NM, ended up with 15 inches of snow in a town without plows.

The ocean's still too cold to spawn much of a wind storm. I understand top wind gusts are still in the 50s.

7. Tis not....
...cutoff lows are high height affairs at 300mb. This is a surface low. The cutoff low in this case is represented by this graphic:



Now, that's a cutoff low (sort of, I think its too warm).

8. 50 knot winds....
Edited on Tue May-08-07 10:38 PM by Aviation Pro
...are the strength of tropical storms. Once it breeches 73 knots it is then a hurricane. I was beachside earlier today and got pushed back by one of the gusts.

12. Yeah, sure... if you believe in all that "Science" nonsense.
But The Bush Administration knows that "science" is just French for "Satan".
