Let's Go 'Tute!
It isn't June 1 quite yet, but there is a 10% chance of a tropical storm forming off the SE US coast http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/.

Re: 2010 Atlantic Hurricane Season
It was a 30% chance yesterday. The thing, which was never much to begin with, is weakening.

Re: 2010 Atlantic Hurricane Season
I just hope we dont get any hurricanes in the gulf where the oil spill is. That would be a huge ecological disaster!
Beyond that, I hope everyone on the east coast stays safe if there are hurricanes. I work in the generator industry, so for me hurricanes are good news because they mean more money in my pocket (overtime) but I feel for people who live on the coast and lose everything in a hurricane.
As we say in the industry, we like storms that knock out power but dont knock down buildings or cause loss of life.

Re: 2010 Atlantic Hurricane Season
I can see a storm hitting the GOM this year, maybe two. Plus, it should be a hyperactive season with near record temps in the atlantic and the colapse of el nino. The eddy that is about to break off in the GOM could cause a storm to intensify like what we saw with Katrina and Rita if a storm follows a similar path. It's just not a good omen for this hurricane season.

Kind of interesting, a track of every tropical cyclone from 1851 (
) to 2005. It almost looks like africa is sneezing on us.

That would be good news for me, but really bad news for anyone in the path of those storms.
Re: 2010 Atlantic Hurricane Season
A hurricane could also disperse the oil out of plumes as well. Which may help.

Re: 2010 Atlantic Hurricane Season
I suspect that they dont really know exactly what would happen if a hurricane passed over the oil spill, considering that I dont think its ever happened before.

Re: 2010 Atlantic Hurricane Season
Really? There must have been plenty of small gulf spills before. Also, you figure they have to model contingencies when they apply for safety permits. BTW, who regulates building a rig in international waters? (The answer is probably not going to be good.)

Re: 2010 Atlantic Hurricane Season
I could be mistaken, but Im not aware of an instance where a hurricane passed over a major oil spill.

The National Hurricane Center has a FAQ about this already: http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/pdf/hurricanes_oil_factsheet.pdf

Re: 2010 Atlantic Hurricane Season
It won't get much past a TS but it should get a name... Shear is still high across the atlantic...
Looks like we could have our 1st tropical depression of the year later today.

Re: 2010 Atlantic Hurricane Season
The shear killed it. Even with the ridiculously warm waters out there, it's tough to get a storm to form that far out in the Atlantic this early in the season.
Speaking of water temps, apparently oil makes the gulf water even warmer. I've never seen 96-degree water in the Gulf before:

Re: 2010 Atlantic Hurricane Season
It's got some nice rotation but very little in the way of heavy thunderstorm activity. If it can build some thunderstorms, it may still have a chance...
does anyone hear read Jeff Masters blog on wunderground? lots of good info there....

Re: 2010 Atlantic Hurricane Season
It's not going to build any thunderstorm activity with the shear it's heading into.
His blog is pretty good, but for real humor, read the comments. Some of these people who act like "experts" have no clue what they are talking about at times.

So it's kind of like having people here question your knowledge on things then, right? I mean, if I were you I'd tee off.
