Tropical Storm Beta!
NHC/NOAA ^ | 9/18/2020 | NHC/NOAA

Posted on 09/18/2020 8:15:25 PM PDT by NautiNurse

This is not a Beta test. We have another Gulf of Mexico storm this busy 2020 Atlantic Hurricane season. We ran out of Alphabet names, and moved on to the Greek alphabet. Beta did not wait for the news cycle to end following the passing of Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

Thank you for today’s local TS Beta report! A bit more choppy than yesterday, but not too bad. What broke the dock?

Beto seems to be wandering around, lost.

Check out the NHC map at the top of the thread. Note the yellow fish hook encasing the extreme southern FL peninsula. Yesterday, it was a low pressure system north of Lake Okeechobee. Then it disappeared. Now it is back, planning a side trip to Cuba, then into the Gulf of Mexico, where all 2020 storms need to go.

Waves, happens every time a storm come in. Waves push up the boards no matter how well they are nailed or screwed in. A little more water and all the boards will be gone.

HI NN great job as usual.
Whats going on with the latest low pressure system off Africa? We are getting tired of storm after storm down here.
I can’t find anything on it.

A tropical wave is located along 20W S of 17N, moving W at 10 to 15 kt. No significant convection is occurring with this wave.
