Note the bouy winds speeds |
The winds already qualify, with a NOAA buoy off of Cape Canaveral already recording gusts of 63 MPH and sustained winds of 47. Also radar is showing a good rotation pattern developing, with Satellite showing a rapid intensification of convection near the center.
It's located East of the cape, moving Northward along the coast. It's currently showing a 30% chance of becoming a tropical storm on the NHC site.
Here in St Augustine we are getting some 30+ MPH winds and really high tides along with rain. Nothing real exciting yet, it did blow over a camper on I-95 a bit ago. Lights are blinking but that's normal for a Nor-Easter.
I would have posted sooner but I've been out of range of the Net most of the weekend doing a medical Standby for the Palatka Fall Bluegrass festival Way out in the woods.. |

This system went into a large circulation area, as of now it's looking like it wants to tighten up the center in the area of Newberry. |

Was this actually a tropical storm? There is quite a bit of debate on that.. There have been rumblings that in the post storm review this might even get classed as a cat 1 Hurricane.
It really doesn't matter if it does get storm status. I really think had it stayed out over the Atlantic for a few more hours there would have been no question.
The NHC is saying that this one lacked a warm core required to be tropical. Yet other sources are citing a 4 deg increase in temp as the storm center approached.
Who knows.. I certainly don't. It did appear it was going tropical to me, but I'm not qualified (nor do I have the time or desire to become qualified) to make the "Official" decision.
Still it was quite an interesting storm and did do what you would expect a strong tropical storm to do. Power companies are still restoring power to some customers. |
