Re: Hurricane Season Has Arrived
let's hope it doesn't do too much damage before we've even normalized everything from the last hurricane season

Re: Hurricane Season Has Arrived
This is NOAA's most recent map. It will automatically update as time passes.
We should not have much to worry about if Arlene contiunues as forcasted. Remember, the main line is not necessarily the path of the storm. Rather, you should look at the cone.

Re: Hurricane Season Has Arrived
It depends on the prevailing winds, but in general a good storm will bring all kinds of fun stuff onshore, sometimes including debris from Caribbean and Mexican coasts.

This morning's Wall Street Journal had an article about hurricane forcasting. It said, "Its [NOAA] forecast, issued this week, says there is an 86% chance that landfalling hurricanes will put 2005 in the top one-third historicallyl, with two to five intense hurricanes. The Colorado team agreed, upping an earlier forecast to eight hurricnes, half of which would be whoppers with sustained winds above 110 m.p.h." The article also said, "Get used to it. Surface temperatures in the Atlantic have been elevated since 1995, relative to an historical average that goes back 150 years, notes NOAA's Stanley Goldenberg. From 1995 to 2000, the number of hurricanes almost doubled from the historical norm." Sounds like another interesting year...

We are waiting on RiverOtter, the person with the most posts other than Kurt, to purchase a place on the Beach to house the web cam, but he tells us that we may be waiting a while.
Yes, smaller storms should put more sand on the beach.Seasider said:

Re: Hurricane Season Has Arrived
The NHC is now saying Arlene could be a minimal hurricane when it makes landfall Saturday night. Looks like it could come ashore anywhere from PCB to Gulfport. Y'all batten down the hatches!

Re: Hurricane Season Has Arrived
If you look at the NOAA map which I posted above, you will notice that as of 4pm today (Fri), the maximum sustained winds are 65 mph, only 9 mph less than a hurricane. At the moment in SoWal, winds have kicked up a notch and I can definitely sense a storm on the horizon.
(Waterman, I may have to take a "raincheck" for lunch.)
