| Anonymous Coward User ID: 32997087  Portugal01/25/2013 01:56 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Thanks for the info. I've understood this as meaning, that just because it loses a lot of power when it hits land, doesn't mean it still can't be a hurricane. I think I understood right? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 32810663 If it weakens dramatically (as it says in your post below) does that mean we in the UK will not be facing hurricane conditions after all? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 32810663 I must say, we often see weather warning for gales, even severe gales. This is quite common. But your posts suggest something far worse. In your opinion, will it get much worse than gales/severe gales for the UK? Are we looking at hurricane force winds or not? Thanks for your dedicated and informative posts on the weather! Posted by: Dr. Jeff Masters, 04:05 PM GMT em 25 de Janeiro de 2013 Quoting: Luisport This is the central pressure one commonly sees in Category 4 hurricanes, and is a very rare intensity for an extratropical storm to attain. Since extratropical storms do not form eyewalls, the winds of the massive Atlantic low are predicted to peak at 90 mph (Category 1 hurricane strength), with significant wave heights reaching 52 feet (16 meters.) Fortunately, the storm is expected to weaken dramatically before reaching any land areas, and will only be a concern to shipping. this huge storms loose much of power when they reach land... but in this case i don't know if it's suposed Jolle storm to reach land or stay offshore yes a storm with hurricane force winds... |

Lots of trees came down here, including a 70 foot oak in the backyard. If you have big trees over there, think it over where to sleep if you're not evacuating (upstairs NG). Quoting: Pale Horse Did the oak have leaves still? Unusual for a big oak to blow down, must have had root problems. Oak is like an iceberg,as big again underground. |

The "British Isles" are about to be "bombarded by a very dangerous historic superstorm BIGGER THAN SANDY !!!!!!!".  |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 32997087 Portugal01/25/2013 02:56 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Update: A 1003mb low off the Middle Atlantic Coast this afternoon will move and deepen very rapidly as it tracks northeastward with winds forecast up to 50 knots this evening, reaching upwards of 60 knots by 12Z Friday and as high as 80-85 knots possible Friday night. Waves associated with this low will buildup to 17 meters (56 feet) by early Saturday. This system will likely deepen to near historical levels with models suggesting a minimum pressure of about 923mb early Saturday. [link to gcaptain.com] |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 33011876 Portugal01/25/2013 03:13 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | A level 1 was issued for Western Ireland for severe wind gusts and to a lesser degree for tornadoes. SYNOPSIS ...British Isles... The cold front of the powerful Atlantic cyclone will hit the Irish West coast around 18 UTC and cross the British Isles overnight. The pre-frontal environment is characterized by a tongue of very moist subtropical air (surface dewpoints ~10°C and mixing ratios ~8 g/kg) and by enhanced 0-3 km storm-relative helicity (~300 m^2/s^2). The strong frontal convergence will likely result in a shallow convective line without lightning activity. Due to the very low cloud bases and at least weak low-level buoyancy, one or two (weak) tornadoes are possible if pre-existing misovortices happen to be ingested by the updrafts. This threat quickly diminishes further East, as the cold front runs into the right exit region of the Atlantic jet stream and gets repressed by subsidence. With the arrival of the main Atlantic trough, post-frontal convection will move onshore in Ireland again late at night, possibly organized into a comma. The then well-mixed maritime airmass and 850 hPa winds around 25 m/s are suggestive of a few severe wind events. [link to www.estofex.org] |

Unusual for a big oak to blow down, must have had root problems. Oak is like an iceberg,as big again underground. Yes it had most of its leaves, and still green. Late October they should be brown. I think it was a white oak. Under the topsoil is hard clay-like dirt, so the root ball spread out wide and shallow. About 4 feet deep. That wave map looks crazy, so be prepared for coastal destruction from the weather machine. The weather isn't right. |

Are they stronger? Depends on the parameter by which you evaluate it. 3 hLevi Cowan‏@TropicalTidbits Lots of talk about this storm beating Sandy. Sandy was tropical and did everything S. of 40N. Can't really compare. 3 hLevi Cowan‏@TropicalTidbits Interesting. 12z GFS 0.5x0.5 deg grid and 12z GEM both keep Atlantic cyclone above 932mb. GFS had it down near 920mb last night. |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 11326620 United Kingdom01/25/2013 03:39 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The wind is picking up it's snowing here in the northeast! Quoting: Anonymous Coward 32998940 This looks crazy I will admit my knees knocked a little when I looked at that graph!!! No mention on the t.v don't people need to be warned about this? Nope. The "storm" will fizzle out mid Atlantic long before it makes landfall or comes anywhere near the UK. Will be a bit wet and windy for a few days - i.e. normal weather for the time of year. According to every forecast model I have looked at anyway. Winds will peak at 90 mph whilst mid Atlantic and then drop quickly and dramatically. |
