HURRICANE EARL STRENGTHENS INTO A CATEGORY THREE HURRICANE

just upgraded to cat 4 fox news.

Wow, just wow at the trolling. I said further west than Danielle. LOL such false stuff it makes me laugh. When I am RIGHT I get flammed ... hmmm , let's think why that may be?

Doom is coming. Zombies is rising up. Skeletons running naked midnight. Vampires bites first person in sight. Werewolves running wildy like they have seen first time sky. Meteorite will be dropped middle of atlantic. Yellowstone says poof and magma will come. Texas will explode to parts. Russians and China sending nukes around the earth randomly. Usa makes mass suicide in name of... (there is many. Maybe most doing for obammy.) Northpole and southpole will explode to pieces and icebears attacking toward inoqs or what those little people was. Wolfs running on the street second time. Neighbour called Diwmeckheaded Longspear shouting first time: fukff off people, get beer and live again, im sure everything will go away soon, NOW GET OFF MY BACKYARD OR I WILL SHOOT. All celebrities find out that they were naked all the time. Everything living is burning to knowing that they were alive. Diablo is showing his back first time with second face. GLP will be shutdown. Internet will be cencored. All things will be ending with words: It was just make up, we created it just to fool you. Bilderberg group telling first time truth. Jack Crazyhead first time loads gun full of bullets. Lost series is becoming new religion. Ku Klux Klan finding out first time that their leader was actually black who is believing he is white. Lava will be dropping suddendly from the sky. Everybody who have eyes, burning in the hell right away. Last man waking up from sleep and shouts: Love this world.

I'm detecting the WNW curve now. This is right on track.

From weather blog:

Gut wrenching potential intensity here.

Look at the leading convective band out near 20N 69W through 25N 65W.

See how deep and intense it has become on RGB false color? This is because it is passing over some sick tropical cyclone potential environment and this energy is going to be wrapping back into the storm. As the center moves north of PR on a mostly W to WNW track it is only going to get stronger.

you can see there remains almost no shear to speak of throughout the entire 5 degree by 5 degree bock the storm will be moving into between 20/65 and 25/70.

This taken with water temps and pressure gradients with the high means sick, sick intensity that is very likely to stick around for 2 or 3 days...perhaps pulsing between cat 4 and cat 5 status.

Whereas about 4 hours ago there was some evidence of erosion on the NW quadrant, now this monster convection pops up and has actually expanded ahead of the storm by about 1 to 1.5 degrees relative to the eye. Additionally, convection in the rear of the storm has expanded, keeping about the same position, as the eye moved forward. So the storm has expanded by about 2.5 to 3 degrees, or about an additional 180 miles in width of convection, during the past 6 hours or so..

Limey!

Toss a Paki's salad!

now that's a forecast!

Man, that's some heavy doom. Do you think this will become an Apocalyptic Hypercane?

Both will happen, mega tsunami and nuclear missiles will be flying at 8pm. (Sorry people, i need to empty my storage from nuclear missiles)

gotta love it. The gulf is clamped down tight so the storms have to deflect, Interesting to see if the instrument of the angel can turn this big storm.

BLOG:(from 2 different people)

The high pressure over West Virgina is really making people nervous because the longer it takes to move over the more west Earl moves. Check out the high pressure over Houston.

If this high pressure over West Virgina moves any slower then Earl could move due west into FL or SC and then due north finding the weakness in the ridge over the US. You cant rule this scenario out either.



I'm watching Earl and I believe that this system can at least affect us in Florida if the models shift just a tad bit to the left. We already are forecast to get a very decent 15-25 MPH winds on Wednesday from the storm. And if it hits category 5 like I think it will and also head a little to the West, I believe we can at least have tropical storm advisories if not a hurricane watch.

BLOG:

I urge you to look at this wv loop Kman. EARL WV LOOP -HIGH SINKING SOUTH

Seem to me the steering and surface maps are not as accurate
as many are believing currently.

Water Vapor does not lie. The High has amplified
and moved
further south and the weakness is closing up.


will make for a closer east coast call. possibly a landfall
similar to Hurricane Fran in 1996.

WARNING!

DANGEROUS DROP IN PRESSURE IN UNDER 10 MINUTES...

THE PRESSURE IS NOW 939 mb

I already have it hitting NC's coast, that looks fine.

reminds me of gloria in 1985....it was supposed to turn, any minute it was going to turn, but instead it just came right in, hitting long island as a strong CAT 1.

new york city can kiss its subway system goodbye if we get a CAT 4...that means 25 foot surges in new york harbor!

but its too soon to get my hopes up.

NYC is not going to get a direct hit but will see hurricane winds and torrential rain.

I'm not sure if this link has been posted, but it shows what could be the formation of the mother of all hurricanes. The animation shows storms circling the gulf, while Earl, and two companions are coming to join the party. Also, due north another seems to be organizing, while another is coming off the coast of Africa. The season may have got off to a late start, but it looks like its going to be a real wild ride, especially when the invisible oil rears its ugly corexit coated head.

Kevin

You see any possible landfall ?

thanks

none of the models showing anything close to a landfall

nice site for those that don't have it

in the list for 2010 we have 3 more storms to go before we get to Hurricane Igor!

We have the coolers stocked with beer, and the surf boards ready to roll.. No doubt in my mind that I will be riding the storm out come Thursday evening here in the Outer Banks.

I am actually about 60 miles inland from Hatteras Island, so, yeah.. This is gonna be fun..

Our power lines are already frail from Hurricane Isabel back in 2003.. That storm was a Cat 1-2 when it hit and it created a new inlet here. Namely the Isabel Inlet now.

All indicators that I have seen so far make this a direct hit on Cape Hatteras.

yeah hopefully it misses us

Im in East PA haven't had a major hurricane here in my lifetime, i say bring it on.

wunderground rocks! i love their animated radar maps

Earl now has the lowest pressure of any hurricane in the Atlantic since Ike in 2008!

Totally agree I got to it from here and glad I bookmarked it.
