He cancelled at the opening of his new hotel in Orange beach, when alex was going to Mexico. It was a big disappointment.

Yes he did but now it is on Sunday the 11th. But with possible Bonnie coming into the Gulf it too might get cancelled....

the TVCN is not a model, it is a consensus of GFS, UKMET, NOGAPS, GFDL, HWRF, GFDN, and ECMWF models (it replaced old CONU "model").

oh..OK..the NHC really liked this consensus when tracking Alex...

Pat, Orca, KOTG, ya'll have a good night. I have to get to bed. Coffeepot starts early in this house.

Quoting wunderkidcayman:

oh crap

I'm so sorry Mobilebay and I heard Kenny will not be there now on the 11th... Not sure who else will be there though....
Maybe listen to the Radio this week and see if anyone will be giving them away..... I know I will be listening for some....

Taco :o)

aspectre "Okay, what am I missing here?
A hurricane can have multiple cyclones embedded within the eyewall, hot towers.
So why can't a large invest also have multiple lows?"
2946 centex "Need I say more? [centralGOM Loop]"

Yep, I need further explanation. I'm totally missing something that is glaringly obvious to everyone else engaging in this low pressure anomaly discussion.

Earlier today only movement of a few stray clouds in the southeast and northeast quandrants around a central point indicated that there was a "ghost"CoC, which in turn indicated a "ghost"95L existed.
Can't mid-level/upper-level counter-direction/cross-direction clouds hide a surface low?

Quoting AlexEmmett:

oh crap

What??

WOW! i come on here expecting two circles like last night and what do i see four circles now the season is getting in gear but out of the four only two of them im concerned about one 96L which could be another alex only more north and the wave off the antilles.

They are going into 96L tomorrow afternoon. no one canceled any flights into it yet

That looks closed

It will be a development sign if they do fly tomorrow and it's still in question. Not predicting anything here. They could declare TD earlier. NHC gives it 50% chance in 48 hours. If still 50% chance at 10AM and still looks ragged they may cancel flight. If it does light up they will run flights every 6 hours, and you can bank on that baring technical problems.

Today it is Monday already eastern time

hunkerdown WELCOME.

The last time there were four areas worth mentioning in the Atlantic, I believe, was on September 1, 2008. I know, because I was being battered by Hurricane Gustav at the time, and saw just before the electricity went out. Two areas were Gustav and Hanna, and the other two areas were pre-Ike and pre-Josephine.

I'm quite surprised to see this in July. I'm really, really worried about this season. I hate to see what the peak has in store.
