Then Hanna will probably dissipate as it tracks across Northern Europe.

Not as bad as it looked from the receiving bay door at my store at 8:30 PM. Winds not even breezy, but there is lots and lots of rain and I had to ride through a couple of rivers. Wonder if the wind will pick up significantly once the storm center gets into Connecticut. The cellar here has only one minor puddle in it.

That's cause this storm isn't that big of a deal...

Well, it could be a big deal as it rides along the NE coast and affects several major cities. Granted, it isn't a Cat 4 or Cat 3, but the damage that can be done by this storm to the Eastern Seaboard isn't, I think, being fully realized by the populace in those areas.

I think the media has been giving it the attention it deserves, but residents don't seem to be overly concerned.

Those of us that live in areas and see this type of activity on a semi-annual basis understand the implications of a strong TS or minimal Cat 1. I believe that some in areas that are less affected or impacted by these types of systems look at them as more of a curiosity instead of taking them more seriously.

And now we have Hanna which could very well could cause some major problems or even turn into a powerful storm heading for us here in the northeast and yet everyone from where I am is acting like nothing is coming at all..Late this afternoon went to the supermarket and they had cases of water on sale and I would have thought they would have sold out by now but no, not even a dent..Plenty of cases right there on the aisle..

Then I took my spare propane tank to Walmart to exchange for a full one and I was the only one in the entire garden center..When I asked the sole clerk on duty there if sales of propane have picked up he said " Nope, dead as a door nail around here"

Guess if it doesn't involve New Orleans, then many people are not even interested...I also stopped by late today at Sea Tow offices and they are expecting Hannah do be more than just dump a lot of rain...especially on the south shore of eastern Long Island....we shall see...And just last week I had a tree company take down the huge towering 125 year old oak that was in my front yard after I called in an arborist to examine and test it and he told me due to being hollow in many areas and infested with carpenter ants, all it would take would be some heavy gust for it to topple taking down power lines and a neighbors tree and then their house....Hated to take it down but had to do the right thing regarding mine and others safety....I'm starting to think this evening that the timing could not have been better with Hannah on her way..And then recently purchased a portable generator that I have been putting off buying for years so am pretty set out here...Hope everything your way and for those all along the east coast will be A-Ok..

Canadian Hurricane Centre Of Environment Canada At 9.00 Pm Adt
Friday 05 September 2008.

The Next Statement Will Be Issued By 3.00 Am Adt

...Post-Tropical Storm Hanna To Move Through The Maritimes Sunday...

1. Current Position, Strength, Central Pressure And Motion

At 9.00 Pm Adt... Tropical Storm Hanna Was Located Near Latitude
31.6 N And Longitude 78.9 W... About 95 Nautical Miles Or 180 Km
Southeast Of Charleston. Maximum Sustained Winds Are Estimated
At 60 Knots... 111 Km/H... And Central Pressure At 984 Mb. Hanna Is
Moving North At 15 Knots... 28 Km/H.

3. Public Weather Impacts And Warnings Summary
Hanna Will Bring Wind And Rain To Atlantic Canada On Sunday. A
Leading Area Of Moisture Well Ahead Of Hanna..But Not Related To
The Storm..May Bring Some Heavy Showers To Parts Of The Maritimes On
Saturday With Amounts Up To 25 Mm Possible.

While It Is Still Too Early To Give Detailed Rainfall Amounts For
The Passage Of Post-Tropical Hanna On Sunday..It Should Be Noted
That Similar Systems In The Past Have Typically Delivered 50-100 Mm.
The Details Of The Amount Extent And Location Of Maximum Rainfalls
Should Become Clearer Overnight When New Computer Models Become
Available. Winds Gusting To Gale Force Are Also Expected Near And To
The Right Of The Storm Track..Likely To Be Mostly Over Water.

4. Marine Weather Impacts And Warnings Summary
Post-Tropical Hanna Is Still Expected To Bring Gales To Maritime
Waters On Sunday And Newfoundland Waters On Monday. Long Period Swell
From Hanna And The Distant Hurricane Ike Should Begin To Reach
Maritime Waters On Saturday..However Wave Heights Should Remain
Below 3 Metres Until Hanna Arrives On Sunday.

5. Technical Discussion For Meteorologists

A. Analysis
A Burst Of Convection Near The Centre This Afternoon Kept Hanna Near
Huricane Strength. The Storm Is Now Moving Quickly Northward. Surface
Data Continues Suggesting An Expansive Wind Field With This System.
Land-Based Radar Imagery From South Carolina Suggests That The Center
Of The Storm Is A Bit Farther West Than Earlier Thought..So A Slight
Nudge In The Track Has Been Made With This Forecast.

B. Prognostic
Very Little Overall Changes To Previous Track Package With Timing And
Intensity Of The System Through Atlantic Canada Virtually Unchanged.
Cyclone Phase Space Diagrams Continue Suggesting Transition Will Be
Complete Prior To It Reaching Canadian Waters.

C. Public Weather
It Appears Less Likely Now That Hanna Will Become Involved With A
Frontal System Entering Atlantic Canada From The Northwest As It
Arrives..As Noted In The Qpf Field. Gfs Nam And Global Qpf Indicate
50-100 Mm Near And Left Of The Storm Track.

D. Marine Weather
These Wind Radii Represent Both Hanna And The Large Scale Circulation
At The Outer Edges Of The Storm.

...NEW INFORMATION...

UPDATED STORM INFORMATION. UPDATED INLAND FLOODING.

...AREAS AFFECTED...

THIS STATEMENT RECOMMENDS ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN BY PERSONS IN INTERIOR SECTIONS OF NORTHERN NEW JERSEY...SOUTHEAST NEW YORK...AND SOUTHERN CONNECTICUT.

...WATCHES/WARNINGS...

A TROPICAL STORM WIND WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT. A FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING.

...PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

HOME OWNERS ARE URGED TO SECURE ALL LOOSE OUTDOOR ITEMS. GARBAGE CANS AND LAWN FURNITURE CAN EASILY BECOME PROJECTILES WITH THE ONSET OF TROPICAL STORM FORCE WINDS. ALL RESIDENTS AND VISITORS ARE URGED TO STOCK UP ON BATTERIES...FLASHLIGHTS...DRINKING WATER AND NON-PERISHABLE FOODS. PEOPLE ARE ALSO URGED TO REMAIN INDOORS DURING THE STORM AS THE COMBINATION OF HEAVY RAIN AND GUSTY WINDS WILL RESULT IN LOOSE SOIL AND THE THREAT OF DOWNED TREES...LARGE TREE LIMBS AND POWER LINES.

...WINDS...

AT THE POINT OF CLOSEST APPROACH OVER EASTERN LONG ISLAND AND FAR SOUTHEAST CONNECTICUT...HANNA IS EXPECTED TO HAVE SUSTAINED WINDS OF 50 MPH WITH GUSTS TO 60 MPH...MAINLY EAST OF THE CENTER. IF THE STORM MOVES AS FORECAST...RAIN BANDS NORTHWEST OF THE CENTER WILL LIKELY PRODUCE WIND GUSTS UP TO 45 MPH...ESPECIALLY AT HIGHER ELEVATIONS.

...INLAND FLOODING...

THERE WILL BE TWO PERIODS OF HEAVY RAIN THIS WEEKEND. THE FIRST WILL OCCUR LATE TONIGHT WITH AN INCH OR TWO OF PRECIPITATION EXPECTED. THE SECOND...AS HANNA PASSES NEARBY...WILL OCCUR SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND NIGHT...RESULTING IN AN ADDITIONAL 3 TO 6 INCHES OF RAIN. HIGHER AMOUNTS ARE POSSIBLE WHERE RAIN BANDS ARE THE MOST PERSISTENT. THIS AMOUNT OF RAIN WILL LIKELY RESULT IN SIGNIFICANT RISES ON AREA RIVERS...STREAMS AND CREEKS...AS WELL AS MODERATE FLOODING OF LOW LYING...POOR DRAINAGE AND URBAN AREAS.

BE PREPARED TO MOVE TO HIGHER GROUND IF FLOODING BEGINS TO OCCUR. DO NOT DRIVE THROUGH FLOOD WATERS. IF YOU ENCOUNTER ANY FLOODING WHILE DRIVING...TURN AROUND.

...TORNADOES... TORNADOES WILL BE POSSIBLE EAST OF THE TRACK OF HANNA. AT THIS TIME...THIS WOULD KEEP THE GREATEST RISK OF TORNADOES TO OUR SOUTH AND EAST.

...NEXT UPDATE...

THIS STATEMENT WILL BE UPDATED SHORTLY AFTER 11 PM THIS EVENING.

11,796 DEADLY TERROR ATTACKS SINCE 9/11~~SARAH BRIGHTMAN SYMPHONY WORLD TOUR]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21064880 Fri, 05 Sep 2008 19:10:41 EDT TS Hanna gain speed and strenght http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21063865 ghostpainter : [att=1,l]satellite imagery and radar data from the Melbourne WSR-88D indicate
that Hanna has become a little better organized this morning...as
the latest convective burst has produced an inner wind core.
However...the radar-observed velocities do not yet suggest
intensification. The initial intensity remains 55 kt.

The center of Hanna jogged westward between 06-12z. However...the
Melbourne radar suggest the center has resumed a more northward
motions...with the initial motion estimated at 325/17. Hanna is
moving around the western end of the subtropical ridge over the
western Atlantic and should enter the westerlies in 24-48 hr. This
should result in recurvature to the northeast and acceleration.
All guidance agrees with this scenario...and there are no
significant outliers amongst the dynamical models. The new
forecast track is adjusted a little to the left for the first 36 hr
to account for the initial position...and is close to the previous
forecast track thereafter.

While vertical wind shear and dry air entrainment are still
issues...the increased organization suggests the possibility of
strengthening before landfall. Thus...the intensity forecast calls
for a peak intensity of 60 kt near landfall. None of the guidance
indicates that Hanna will reach hurricane strength prior to
landfall...although this cannot be ruled out. The cyclone should
weaken after landfall and become extratropical in about 48 hr. The
GFS and UKMET suggest the possibility of deepening as an
extratropical system late in the period...and this is reflected in
the 96 and 120 hr forecasts.

Wow, Hanna came apart again this morning. Her convection was showing signs of building and then it just spun away off to the North, leaving the lower circulation all alone.

Hanna's over the gulf stream now. Dinner time.
Shes reformed and is coming back with a vengeance.

Since 2am, I've gotten over 6 inches of rain.
Additional rain bands are forming as I write.

Alright everyone. I'm done playing games with Hanna and truly think she is done. Hanna is really showing some interesting movement. First of all this looks like a very wide tropical system based on satellite loops. It's moving North and should start moving Northwest overnight toward the Bahamas.
The really interesting things about Hanna is her upper atmosphere. The way things look, it might detach over and send the upper level low feature toward Florida over the next few days. This look most possible, still sending the surface low into the Carolinas. As far as it showing a true eye? I'm not totally convinced the circulation even as it approaches the Carolinas will look like Ike does now or any classic hurricane structure In fact as far as I'm concerned it might actually weaken the closer it gets to the Carolinas. The broad circulation is more that of a surface low, and tornadoes will be the most threat with Hanna as it moves in. This is a very gutsy call right now, but Hanna leaves me no choice but to keep her a Tropical Storm at landfall. Which is far weaker than any forecaster is thinking right now.

Ike and Josephine will keep standard West tracks till next update.

Remember the Orange is dry air. As you watch the loop you will see Hanna digging into the dry air which has blocked her the past few days because of the influence of Gustav.

Ike by contrast is charging right through the dry air in front of it because the Bermuda high is sliding to the west allowing an avenue of escape Northward for Hanna. Dry air blocks the gulf of Mexico now but again as you watch the loop the dry air moves west and south at the same time that Ike will arrive at the Florida Keys.

Looking at the water temps it looks like Hanna will follow the warmest waters straight into the Carolina's as a strong cat 1.

I dont think it will be a two because the water temps cool off dramatically just to the north.

Hanna is finally moving North. However I do not think it will get too strong due to a huge factor near it. Obvious on satellite, dry air is making the way into the center of the circulation. this will ultimately keep Hanna at a Tropical Storm to at best a Category 1 Hurricane as it gets East of Florida.
For now, the Northern movement is setting the track back to the East along the Carolina coastal sections so will go with the South Carolina Coastal sections as a Category 1 at best. The dry air is obviously going to stop this from becoming a Major Hurricane.
If it goes any further North or East, the track will shift East. If it keeps doing that, this could MISS the East Coast all together. All depends on how far North and East Hanna will go over the next 24 hours. A Northwest movement must start soon to keep the track we have now.

Ike and Josephine will keep standard West tracks till next update.

Apparently she called AAA for her tow truck, and is still waiting on the side of the road wondering if it will ever show up. If she doesn't get a move on pretty soon Ike's going to run her over! Even if she does get moving soon she'll leave behind a big speed bump of cold water for Ike to have to wade through. I'm running just ahead of the 5AM update writing this, so I don't know how weak Hanna is now, but she is definitely in bad shape and will have to rebuild fast if she wants to be a Hurricane again. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21049247 Wed, 03 Sep 2008 04:40:44 EDT Re: Hurricane Hanna http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21048980 pleekmo : And I live a little farther on up that path.

Hard to find the exact center of Hanna. However it still is moving a bit Southwest. This track of movement is making the track slide to the West. This certainly is not good for Miami , Cape Canaveral, and Jacksonville, FL as the center could slide very near or on top of these areas over the coming days.
Since Hanna is still meandering a bit out there we will have to place question marks on final destination. I still believe it will landfall close to the Florida Coast as a Category 2, then over to the GA/SC border as the same Category number. Our tracking map shows a Category 1 developing in the next 24 hours again. It then moves to the Northwest as a Category one somewhere near Miami. Just before landfall it may strengthen again to a Category two for a preliminary landfall estimation sometime overnight Thursday into Friday Morning.
It would move fast up the coast, hitting near the Jacksonville Coastal sections sometime Friday Afternoon, and into GA/SC area by Friday Evening - Night.
If Hanna does not start moving Northwest soon, this track will shift West toward the Gulf States. or the Southwestern Florida coastal sections where Fay hit. Evidently the ridge building in should move this storm Northwest then North.
Ike and Josephine are out in the Atlantic waiting in line for their turn. Am not completely sure about Josephine, but Ike is moving West at a pretty good clip. Additional strengthening is expected from both. More on these as they become a threat. So far standard West tracks will apply.

Friday's Wiarton forecast is showing us getting the edge of the storm.

Then that may be the remnants of Gustav. Our fall rain patterns are heavily dependant upon the residue of hurricanes colliding with western fronts. Although the long range seems to suggest a warm, dry fall.

Nice loop, unfortunately it's a bit on the small size to place the center of Hanna. Especially since Hanna has been playing hide & seek with her center of circulation all along. Now that I can see the floaters again (they always jam up around TV news time) She had shifted a bit further South than she was supposed to. If this is a trend, or just a wobble it'll be hard to tell until the satellites come out of eclipse and we get a few shots. The further she goes South, the more I would expect her projected track to shift west. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21043302 Tue, 02 Sep 2008 01:47:13 EDT Re: Hurricane Hanna http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21043198 Telly Boot : Looking at this IR loop, it almost seems as if Hanna is starting to back up a bit and head back towards Haiti and Jamaica:

Gustav is a flooding concern now but the topic now is Hannah. Hannah has developed into a hurricane. Great structure so far. I don't believe it will shear out much.
I believe Hannah will strengthen at a very quick rate to at least a Category 2 within the next 48 hours. So by Wednesday we should see near that intensity. Hannah will be moving Northwest toward Florida. It may look like a direct hit however it might try to take Floyd of 1999's path, which missed the Eastern Coast as it curved North. If Hannah does this, it will be a Category 3 when it is East of Cape Canaveral or the NASA launch pads.
If it stays on our track it would impact near the SC/GA border as a Category 2-3 similar to Gustav on Friday Afternoon Eastern Time...
Let's say it follows this track. It should stay a Category 1 through Eastern North Carolina and Virginia. If it decides to further keep on our course, we take it just South of New York City and the worst winds from the tropical storm will pass to the South of the Metro area on Saturday.

It is these types of systems that make those who could be potentially impacted by them a little bit nervous :).]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21034784 Sun, 31 Aug 2008 06:35:53 EDT Re: Tropical Storm Hanna http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21034701 SmokChsr : Now that everyone has their eyes glued on Gus (for good reason I might add) lets not forget about Hanna. She's still a bit confused about where she wants to go. Is it going to be that Bahamian Vacation, or should she head on up to Hilton Head or maybe even Cuba? Gus's outflow is messing with Hanna, she had lost most of her convection earlier last night but is currently rebuilding it.

From looking at Gus, he may hold off the high over Florida as it currently looks like he is about to take control of the Florida upper air mass. That leaves us with which way will Hanna go? I think that's been the question for a while now.

From this mornings discussion:
MOST OF THE GLOBAL MODELS ARE CARVING A LARGE TROUGH OVER
THE CENTRAL ATLANTIC AND DEVELOPING A LARGE RIDGE OVER THE EASTERN
UNITED STATES. THIS PATTERN SHOULD FORCE HANNA ON A SLOW
SOUTHWESTERLY TRACK BEYOND THREE DAYS...BUT AT THE SAME TIME THE
UPPER-LEVEL WINDS SHOULD WEAKEN THE CYCLONE. THE OFFICIAL FORECAST
SHOWS A LITTLE BIT OF THE SOUTHWESTERLY MOTION BUT DOES NOT GO AS
FAR SOUTH AS SHOWN BY MOST OF THE MODELS. IN FACT...THE GFS HAS
JOINED THE REST OF THE GLOBAL MODELS IN BRINGING THE CYCLONE
SOUTHWESTWARD. I PREFER TO WAIT FOR MORE MODEL RUNS BEFORE FORECAST
SUCH A RARE BUT NOT UNIQUE TRACK TOWARD THE SOUTHWEST.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21024522 Fri, 29 Aug 2008 05:14:52 EDT Re: Tropical Storm Hanna http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21024302 SmokChsr : I noticed a well defined spin out in front of Hanna that looks like it is starting to develop a bit more convection around 23N 66W. It's very close to Hanna and running the same path. It will be interesting to see what energy gets transferred between the two systems, or if Hanna tries to jump to the circulation in front of it. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21024302 Fri, 29 Aug 2008 01:56:32 EDT Re: Tropical Storm Hanna http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21023989 ghostpainter : very true....That wall being the Bermuda High as it moves west. As it does so, though, there is some thought that Hanna will slide under the high and then move to the NW or west. But that is 6 days out.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21023989 Fri, 29 Aug 2008 00:11:57 EDT Re: Tropical Storm Hanna http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21023789 SmokChsr : Of course we'll have to wait and see, currently all the models have Hanna hitting a brick wall right around 70W. If that holds up we should be in the clear.

I'd say it's not all that boring for those of us who have to deal with it. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21022422 Thu, 28 Aug 2008 18:53:19 EDT Re: Tropical depression 8... Hanna http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21022007 nirvansk815 :

Nothing wrong with being honest. Were just better fact gatherers... BBR brings out the best in people :) AND... and this is a biggie... were doing it because we genuinely care.

We may have a pair of major hurricanes spinning up at the same time.
