Thanks so much!

Indeed if one was to look at the convective clouds, it give the appearance that the storm is heading North. If you look at other Satellites that have less frames in it's loop, you get the impression that it is moving Northwest.

Either way, I think it will be awhile to see just where the true c-o-c is.

Thanks for posting those captures and your great analysis!

What is the name of this thing

Well, this would be the sixth named storm of the season if it intensifies, which would make it the 'F' storm.

So I suggest Tropical Storm Furball.

Thanks for posting those and very sound reasoning!

It tooks look freakishly like Isabel, No?

On the maps, yellow is cat 1, orange-brown is cat 2, red is cat 5, magenta is cat 4, and pink is cat 5.

Try "Florence"...that is what Fox News said...

I like Furball better.

Hey DB,

We ended up with more damage to our property out of this weekends hybrid then we did Isabel(personal not areawide).

How did you fair?

And as they say at UF, UA, Vandy, etc, etc.

Nothing sucks like a Big Orange.

It will be Florence

Flo Blo!

And if it doesn't develope past a tropical storm or Cat 1, it would be a

Lo Flo Blo!

Isabel might be my favorite analog thus far. It's a little premature though, I suppose.

WTFOT Bump!

Fawn,

I forgot to mention that if you click down the menu and go to channel 4 you will not get the jumping of frames.

You know what...I messed up. I meant to compare frame 214 and 215. Here they are again. Just notice how far up the #15 lattitude line is compared to the previous frame:
Frame 214:

Frame 215:

Just wondered why it jumps up.....but it does look like it's going North already as you suggested.

"Isabel might be my favorite analog thus far. It's a little premature though, I suppose."

Indeed to early to speculate, but the early run of the models even have that dip to the southwest that Isabel
had.

This should be worth a couple of dollars on the price of oil.

Yeah, all those deepwater wells off Bermuda are bound to be shut down. 8-)

I was just looking at that historical map over at Weather Underground....very interesting.

AND?

[dirtboy]

No problems whatsoever - a lot of rain but no wind or water damage. I was living over near Lancaster during Isabel, and the tree damage there was pretty bad all around.
