Hurricane Nate
NHC/NOAA ^ | 10/5/2017 | NHC/NOAA

Posted on 10/05/2017 8:49:41 PM PDT by NautiNurse

Tropical Storm Nate is emerging from Honduras into the Western Caribbean. Forecast models are in agreement that Nate will continue into the Gulf of Mexico. Oil companies have begun evacuations of offshore platforms.

Nate is forecast to reach the northern Gulf Coast this weekend as a hurricane, and the threat of direct impacts from wind, storm surge, and heavy rainfall is increasing from Louisiana through the western Florida Panhandle. Hurricane and tropical storm watches, as well as a storm surge watch, have been issued for a portion of the northern Gulf Coast, and residents in these areas should monitor the progress of Nate, heeding any advice given by local officials.

Due to low shear and very high oceanic heat content in the northwestern Caribbean Sea, Nate should at least steadily strengthen once it moves offshore, especially since it appears to have a well-defined inner core. Rapid intensification is still not out of the question, and Nate could be near hurricane intensity by the time it reaches the Yucatan coast in about 24 hours.

Nate could strengthen further in the time between the 48-hour position and when it crosses the U.S. Gulf coast.

Hopefully Nathan spends a lot of time over the Yucatan before heading towards points north, and hits a lot of of shear en route.

Well...Nate is moving 12mph, and track forecast looks like it will barely clip the Yucatan. Of course, things may change in the next day.

It’s a sloppy looking storm thus far. Let’s hope it stays that way.

If the current track is accurate, looks like I’ll be getting wet early next week.

Oh joy! /s

That disturbance marked X is going to shift Nate to the West and more over land. This will keep Nate from becoming a big hurricane. Maybe just a Cat 1.

Well, we could certainly use the rain here in Va. It isn’t worth any destruction that might come with it to those in the south.

We definitely need rain in SW Va.

Hate it for the people to the south, but hopefully Nate will pass over them fairly quickly.

If these charts/projects are correct ( which I doubt ), the storm is completely on land, for just about ALL of the states it's supposedly going to hit, so just HOW is this going to be a hurricane when it gets to Ct., Mass., and Vt. ? Won't it have worn itself out by the time it gets to New England and not even be a tropical storm ?

I do NOT claim to be an expert and is why I am asking these questions.

Definitely feels longer. I was being conservative.
