Toldja. It's back.

And it's goign bit more to the south this time, current track forecasts a Bahamas/East Coast run.
 
Re: Atlantic Hurricanes -- Where Are They??

Well, wherever they are, it's the reason I haven't changed my name to Jugon Storm or Dewgong Monsoon >.<
 
Re: Atlantic Hurricanes -- Where Are They??

I'm keeping an eye on those systems brewing out in the Atlantic. O_O;
 
Re: Atlantic Hurricanes -- Where Are They??

Well, I just logged on a few minutes ago, so apparently, Tropical Depression 2 may become Tropical Storm Ana, the first named hurricane of the 2009 Atlantic Hurricane Season!

UPDATE: A Tropical Depression 3 has formed in the same area as where what is now Tropical Storm Ana exists. They are both slated to cross over the Greater Antilles heading Northwest up into Florida by Friday of next week.

And just like that, in the space of two days, the alert level in the Atlantic moves from "Quiet" to "Interesting" to "Dangerous", with apparent decent odds of hitting "Scary" sooner rather than later.

As it stands, Ana looks set to remain a tropical storm for a good while. TD3 looks set to develop into hurricane Barry. Ana will very possibly, not to say probably, graze Haiti (cue ridiculous death toll).

The scary part comes in at the five days mark (and let us remember that five days forecasts are not the most reliable, so we have pretty decent odds of dodging THIS part).

In five days, Barry will have very good odds of hitting major hurricane status (Category 3 or higher), while generally heading toward the Carolinas or thereabout. In five days also, Ana will be very near or just over southern Florida, headed west into the gulf. The gulf that has 1.5-2 degrees above average water temperatures as it stands.

You know what happened the last time a tropical depression formed, dissipated, reformed (although they changed the depression number that time), became a tropical storm in the Atlantic, then crossed Florida into an above-average-water-temperatures gulf in mid-late august. *RIGHT*?

Could be that, six days from now, we'll be looking at two major hurricanes barreling toward the Gulf and East coast at the same time.
 
Re: Atlantic Hurricanes -- Where Are They??

Well, my mom (who accurately guessed Katrina would be a big one) has said she doesn't see Ana or Bill as the big one. She's given that distinction to Fred.

All silliness aside, this season has ramped up big time. We also have yet another wave making its way off Africa.
 
Re: Atlantic Hurricanes -- Where Are They??

Tropical Depression Three has evolved into Tropical Storm Bill.
 
Re: Atlantic Hurricanes -- Where Are They??

Funny how this wandered into The Real World from Science & Technology. Oh well, it belongs here. Told ya, Dami.

YOU BEAT ME TO IT! I just found out seconds ago!

UPDATE: Tropical Depression Four has evolved into Tropical Storm Claudette. It is set to hit landfall later this evening. If you live in the Apalachicola/St. George's Island area, you are encouraged to evacuate immediately.

Why do I feel like this will be 2004 all over again?
 
Re: Atlantic Hurricanes -- Where Are They??

On the plus side, Ana has decided to re-depress itself.

Do you mean 2005?

And yes, Bill will indefinitely be intensifying over the next week, predictably becoming hurricane status, whereas Tropical Storm Ana has devolved into Tropical Depression Ana. It should dissipate over the next few days or so. Tropical Storm Claudette is to be in central Alabama-Mississippi tomorrow evening, and should be weakening.

No, I mean 2004. Nothing of any significance happened in the beginning, and then WHAM! throughout the rest of the year, Florida gets hit by four - count 'em FOUR - hurricanes, and all of them quite powerful.
 
Re: Atlantic Hurricanes -- Where Are They??

I am still amazed at how late the first storm started. Although I think the 1992 hurricane season was similar like that in terms of lateness, except we haven't had an Andrew type storm as a hurricane yet this year.
 
Re: Atlantic Hurricanes -- Where Are They??

Here we're feeling the effects of Ana, though not directly, as I type. It's pretty much more of a heavy thunderstorm type of thing than raining. Luckily we're not really feeling a big hit..can't say the same thing for the Dominican Republic/Haiti.

Also on the lucky side...yay Bill completley missed us. I just simply hate how hurricane season makes people here to completely ubberly over react..and act. >.<

That's great. considering they could expect Bill to evolve into a Category Three storm.
 
Re: Atlantic Hurricanes -- Where Are They??

Yea, and Bill might hit where I am, it's not likely, but it's possible. (I'm in Philadelphia, PA). But, I have relatives in the pan-handle of Florida who got pounded with Claudette, and are still getting beaten right now. But, I hope Bill does what meteorologists say it will, almost completely turn around.
