That's true, but given the latitude of possible TS Joyce, I don't think it will be affected that much.
It was just something I was looking at WU. Thinks do seem to be heating up.
Not really. If you've ever been through a TS or 'Cane, you would want to be forewarned as early as possible.
desperate...spell check doesn't help a lot when there are hominyms...
We're all (potentially) DOOMED!
Didn't say it would. What will likely happen is that the cold airmass approaching Florida will prevent the storm from making landfall here.
I retired from 32 years of hurricane forecasting here and I have seen this scenario a number of times. It's not a function of the calendar. It's all about continental air-masses and the change in the winds aloft that accompany them this time of year.
Today's upper air soundings over Tallahassee show that we already have vigorous westerlies up there and they will increase and become northwesterly. This is the current SKEWT from Tallahassee:
Winds at that level (and velocity) can easily steer a tropical storm or hurricane....or destroy one.
That's very true. Thanks for the info and graph.
Might go east, north, or west. Well, that narrows it down.
Hey that's my middle name and only SOME people think I'm a windbag!!! : )
Every Joyce that I know is a "talker" :')
