WHERE HURRICANES, TORNADOES, LIGHTNING, BLIZZARDS, AND FLOODS ARE NO MATCH!
Tropical Storm Igor has formed in the eastern Atlantic Ocean not far from the Cape Verde Islands. As the hurricane season enters into the statistical peak activity, we see that overall activity is fair. This has been quite an active season overall, but has spared many humans and land areas.
In addition to Igor, there are [...]

No eyewall landfall, but Hurricane Earl was fun on the Outer Banks.
The chase did not involve a ton of planning or driving. It only took about 6 hours to drive down, arriving around 6pm on Wednesday. I pretty spent the next few hours scoping out the areas from Cape Hatteras as far as the Ferry [...]

Update (10:00am) I delayed my departure. Right now looks like the earliest I’ll be heading out is a little after noon time. Also looking to pull back on the scope/distance on my chase. I will be heading out for sure…just have to assess things as they stand and what the likelihood is for getting good [...]

Won’t be an eyewall/landfall hurricane intercept, but we’ll be there.
Planning is in full swing and at the moment looks like departure from Maryland will be around Mid-day Wednesday with arrival in northern North Carolina shores around 4am-ish via Richmond. Travel further south may be done if time and fuel [...]

Quick post for a graphic I just worked up.
I like the South Florida Water Management Department’s hurricane model plots, but they don’t combine the runs when there are two systems, so I did:
Interestingly, after what I posted earlier about US threat being minimal to almost non-existent. May have to [...]

Hurricane Danielle has been watched for days now, but new to the parade is Tropical Storm Earl which was just designated by the National Hurricane Center. Additionally we have an area that is coming off the coast of western Africa (and [...]

If the system does develop to the point of my deciding to chase, I have to already have plans in place to proceed. Often when I begin planning the first thing is how to get to the target area. Right now that is extreme south Florida into the Florida Keys.
–Home to Key Largo = [...]

Close monitoring and quick action is already underway for possible first intercept for 2010 hurricane season.
While this is still a little bit off, it bares close watching because there would not be a lot of time to react to this storm, already being around Puerto Rico. The above [...]
