Holy Guacamole, Tomas could go to Cat 3. Obviously the fat lady ain't sung yet this hurricane season! Do we know the water temps in his path? l

[g-ianni]

models have it go out to the Atlantic, same ole,same ole

[Drugdoctor]

Got a big-un brewing down there now...TOMAS

[g-ianni]

the whole season was one giant crap-out, wait till next time

[GreaseWD40]

Tropical Depression 19 is in the Caribbean.
Soon to be Richard? Where he goes, nobody knows. But, the models are all pointing to the Gulf of Mexico at this point.

[sea_devil]

EVXA looks like a good pick right now. Paula nearing the Gulf of Mexico

[DOLLARLAND]

Thanks, Grease.

[GreaseWD40]

If I may, I would suggest EVXA @ .0008.
Testing was just completed and verified at an extraction rate of 99.98% by TestAmerica (a partner of BP) in their Gulf test lab on tar balls from the beaches in Florida.

Whatever you may choose, good luck Rhino.

[DOLLARLAND]

I'm watching her closely. First hint that she's a real threat, and I'm grabbing the cheapest cane stock I can find.

[GreaseWD40]

LOL, I know right. Originally 98L was supposed to sit and spin in the Caribbean and dissipate or follow Otto off into the Atlantic. But, she is a stubborn one and seems to be taking her own path. The folks on hardcoreweather.com pointed out that she has been strong enough to push the shear away and force her way Northwest. Odd. Waiting game on this one because it seems no one knows where she will go next. Paula is official though.

[DOLLARLAND]

Looks like a real guessing game on the track at this point:

[GreaseWD40]

Don't bet the house just yet, but it looks like 98L will become Paula and she may be headed for the Gulf of Mexico to churn up BP's oil.

I am playing EVXA for this one.

Invest 98L now at 100% for chance of tropical cyclone development in the next 48hrs.

SATELLITE IMAGES...SURFACE OBSERVATIONS...AND DATA FROM AN AIR FORCE
RESERVE HURRICANE HUNTER AIRCRAFT INDICATE THAT A TROPICAL STORM
MAY BE FORMING NEAR THE NORTHEASTERN COAST OF HONDURAS. ADVISORIES
WILL LIKELY BE INITIATED LATER THIS AFTERNOON...AND WATCHES AND/OR
WARNINGS WILL BE REQUIRED FOR PORTIONS OF THE COAST OF HONDURAS...
BELIZE...AND THE YUCATAN PENINSULA OF MEXICO. THERE IS A HIGH
CHANCE...NEAR 100 PERCENT...OF THIS SYSTEM BECOMING A TROPICAL
CYCLONE DURING THE NEXT 48 HOURS AS IT MOVES NORTHWESTWARD AT
AROUND 10 MPH. HEAVY RAINFALL IS POSSIBLE OVER PORTIONS OF
NICARAGUA...HONDURAS...BELIZE...THE YUCATAN PENINSULA...THE CAYMAN
ISLANDS...AND WESTERN CUBA DURING THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS.



Tracks extending further into the Gulf.


Pushing the shear away with its' Northwestern path.





The odds still seem against this storm (future Paula) to push into the Gulf shores, but with each update the models track it further North.

[GreaseWD40]

98L is an interesting one. Initially all models showed a track across the islands and into the Atlantic. But, models are split between Mexico, Gulf and Atlantic paths now. I think it will be a few days before they nail the path down.

[Drugdoctor]

Just a minute please... what's this?? An area of disturbed weather (98L) is in the Western Caribbean, a few hundred miles east of the coast of Nicaragua. The disturbance has a modest and slowly increasing amount of intense thunderstorms, and is showing some spin. The disturbance is drifting northwest at less than 5 mph, and is under a moderate 15 knots of wind shear. Dry air in the Western Caribbean has been interfering with development, but 98L is now generating enough thunderstorms that the environment in the Western Caribbean is moistening, which will support further development. Pressures at Colombia's San Andres Island near the center of 98L are not falling, and satellite imagery show disturbed weather only over a very modest portion of the Caribbean, so any development today will be slow to occur.

[Drugdoctor]

wait'l next year?

[fade]

well, now what

[littlejohn]

Sho me de ~ ~ fish linger ~ ~ ...LJ

[Drugdoctor]

Uh, that would be no...

[littlejohn]

If an Otto?...could it affect Florida?...LJ

[g-ianni]

Agreed!

[DOLLARLAND]

They are getting very cheap now... so if something does develop, there are some great bargains out there.

[g-ianni]

horrible, no play at all with any of them.

[CashCowMoo]

Rather weak year for the hurricane plays, I thought there would be more action than this.

[Drugdoctor]

Rain bands from Nicole are reaching all the way to Atlanta now. I feel for those on the coast!

[littlejohn]

Yes he does!...and a picture is worth a thousand words...

In the picture below if circulation is around 50W x 14N then you can see shear effect on counter-clockwise circulation...As the wind bands approach the northern top the shear tries to push them north/northeast and slows development of closing the inner circulation...LJ

[I Don't Sell Homes]

Great blog for tropical weather. This guy knows what he's talking about.Dr. Jeff Masters' WunderBlog

[littlejohn]

True and nothing in the rule books say that she absolutely may not gel into cane status before reaching the Carolinas...

'Dissipated' just Irked me after reading it and already knowing the forward forcast that you highlighted in your post...LJ

[Drugdoctor]

Nicole says the rumors of her demise are pre-mature... Talk to those in Wilmington NC area that will get 20 to 30 inches of rain before this is done....

There will be major flooding because of Nicole, and ABIX will be there to meet the demand for products!

[littlejohn]

Nicole dissipated?...And No suggestions issued of having umbrellas or a boat ready if in the path of the dissipation?...

2 systems that came off Africa trying to gel some...LJ

[Drugdoctor]

ABIX - talk about tight bolles....

[littlejohn]

Appears a different tracking is set up now...90w to 100w and around 20N and below may be the areas to watch for development if current tracking conditions persist...

Discussion of shear currently from the west may have to subside for quicker build up of any tropical system...Nicole is large on south and east but is encountering resistance on the west side from shear which may have slowed growth to a much larger system...

Still Nicole is a hefty rain mass...

Bottom left watch or southwest of Gulf of Mexico...LJ

[littlejohn]

Need a hot r/s China umbrella maker play...LJ

[DOLLARLAND]

I wouldn't stick a fork in it, but I wouldn't be holding anything until there is high probability of a serious threat.

There is a long way to go before the season is over, so chances are we'll see one in October.

The longer the wait, the cheaper the stock.

Rhino

[Drugdoctor]

Right out of Katrina's birthplace.....

[littlejohn]

Thank-you for your devotion to looking...LJ

[g-ianni]

agreed,total disappointment

[mores]

I am not giving up on this cane season. I live on the Gulf, and every day I board up my house and go down to the beach. Looking out over the sea, I scan the horizen for any type of distrubance.

Yes, I admit, I am a weak man, often distracted by the bikinis, but if a cane comes in, I'll spot it alright

[fade]

la nina, what a pus

[g-ianni]

can we put a fork in this season and move on??

[Drugdoctor]

Well, looks like Matthew's doing a U turn, lol

[Drugdoctor]

Newest ensemble models- USA will get hit! Time to load ABIX, PDGE, BUGS, NSMG, IPII for a "hurricane Play" trade Monday, imo.

[Drugdoctor]

Great to see ya back here posting chevdawg18!

The models are all over the place...

[chevdawg18]

00Z and 06Z GFS continue to forcast a major hurricane hitting the west coast of florida in approx 7 days. The real question is whether this comes from Tropical Storm Matthew or it almost looks like it spins up a 2nd cyclone (Nicole) from the energy of Matthew as he is over land and then sends Nicole North thru the Yucatan Channel and into the Gulf of Mexico.

Nearly all global models are forcasting a hurricane to hit florida within 8 days, whether its Matthew or future Nicole.

[g-ianni]

NHC HAS IT AS A HURRICANE AND THEN TURNING NORTH BY MID WEEK.

[chevdawg18]

I understand your reasoning LJ - i disagree. If Matthew develops like the models suggest, hurricane stocks will run 100%+ end of story. doesnt matter how much the company dilutes - its gonna run.

Question though still remains how Matthew handles the land interaction in Central America/Mexico

[littlejohn]

Tiny struggling companies could dump heavily into any up moves so late in the season...

Getting more speculative as each day passes...

Don't actually have any model guidance to suggest bigger names could come into play yet...LJ

[g-ianni]

Bugs is the play here. been holding for a big one in the Gulf I THINK THIS MIGHT BE IT.imho glty

[chevdawg18]

First buy BUGS .003 on the development of Tropical Depression #15 in the Caribbean. This one will become Matthew. Question will be how strong it will get over the coming days and if it tracks to Florida or into the Gulf.

I will most likely be buying much more over the coming days

My first hurricane buy in months
