Five Day map shows (currently) a turn to the West - towards Bahamas and South Florida.
This is too early to be concerned about impact in Florida.
But storm bears watching the next 5 to 7 days...
Tropical Cyclone Karen 5 day track
and she would like to speak to the manager.
This is NOT a “cyclone”...
The only difference between a hurricane, a cyclone, and a typhoon is the location where the storm occurs. ... In the Atlantic and Northeast Pacific, the term “hurricane” is used. The same type of disturbance in the Northwest Pacific is called a “typhoon” and “cyclones” occur in the South Pacific and Indian Ocean.
we can’t go to the party because karen is drinking again...
The only difference between a hurricane, a cyclone, and a typhoon is the location where the storm occurs.
I suggest you try reading the caption on the map.
ALL hurricanes, typhoons, and Indian Ocean cyclones are tropical cyclones.
Or, in other words, hurricanes are the Atlantic subset of cyclones.
A "tropical storm" (Atlantic) is a cyclone, distinguished from a hurricane by the speed of sustained winds (not gusts).
She just wants to talk with the manager.
Tropical cyclone definition, a cyclone that originates over a tropical ocean area and can develop into the destructive storm known in the U.S. as a hurricane, in the western Pacific region as a typhoon, and elsewhere by other names.
So the National Hurricane center doesn’t know the difference between a Hurricane, Cyclone or Typhoon. So translation, another useless government agency that needs to go away.
Maybe Muslim outreach would be more their speed
After a slight hiccup to the west, it will go the way of Dorian, Humberto, etc....to the north then northeast...
Which is what I stated.
“JBW1949” needs some remedial education before waterspouting off
I suggest you look at the difference in “cyclone” and “hurricane” on the internet....

That’s enough for now...
Nah.
Didn't Obama order NASA to do that.
Maybe you need to learn to research....
I included both of you as I consider it proper courtesy.
Okay, I’ll play. Citing the very first content line in one of your own linked ‘research’ pieces (from NOAA... the authorities):
“Hurricanes and typhoons are the same weather phenomenon: tropical cyclones.”
So yes - as a tropical storm/hurricane precusor with a closed circulation - Karen is a cyclone.
Try reading the rest of the piece....
“...
Hurricanes and typhoons are the same weather phenomenon: tropical cyclones. A tropical cyclone is a generic term used by meteorologists to describe a rotating, organized system of clouds and thunderstorms that originates over tropical or subtropical waters and has closed, low-level circulation.
The weakest tropical cyclones are called tropical depressions. If a depression intensifies such that its maximum sustained winds reach 39 miles per hour, the tropical cyclone becomes a tropical storm. Once a tropical cyclone reaches maximum sustained winds of 74 miles per hour or higher, it is then classified as a hurricane, typhoon, or tropical cyclone, depending upon where the storm originates in the world. In the North Atlantic, central North Pacific, and eastern North Pacific, the term hurricane is used. The same type of disturbance in the Northwest Pacific is called a typhoon. Meanwhile, in the South Pacific and Indian Ocean, the generic term tropical cyclone is used, regardless of the strength of the wind associated with the weather system...”

Did you catch that section????
Did you read THE FIRST LINE??
(Even what you just cited refers to ‘cyclone’ as a ‘generic term’... ergo it can be applied to any of these storms... anywhere.).
Go find some other hill to die on... this isn’t it.
The author of the piece got it right in the parenthesis...
