Wall cloud last week.that did not do much!

 

the weather is awesome.

I know you said you're going to post the 'official rules' on Oct 1, but how general can "When" be? Can it be an interval of 2-3 days, or only one specific day?

-John

 

I'm still working on this for sure. Probably give a 24 hour period to post your guess that way somebody can't wait until seconds before landfall. Or make it where no guesses can be made within 48 hours of expected landfall.

 

"the weather is awesome"

 

Oh, I hadn't even thought about that. I was referring to the guess itself; could I say Category 3 Hurricane, Florida, October 20-23, or would I have to pick a specific day (i.e. 20th)?

 

Specific day and, just to spice things up, more specific than Florida, a city too. If I just let it be the state I would end up with a bunch of the exact same guesses probably. All your questions will be answered on the first. And if they aren't, PM me and I'll adjust things.

 

BUMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Only 26 hours to get registered.

14 hours til registration is closed!!! I will post a tropical update straight from the NHC at 2 PM and 8 PM so you can begin thinking about your guesses. There's a tropical wave in the mid-Atlantic that may threaten land in about a week and a half.

Only 1 hour left til registration closes. I'll post official rules sometime tomorrow morning. After the rules are posted you can begin guessing (apologies to those who already posted ). Here's the latest NHC (National Hurricane Center) discussion.

FOR THE NORTH ATLANTIC...CARIBBEAN SEA AND THE GULF OF MEXICO...

1. A LARGE AND COMPLEX AREA OF DISTURBED WEATHER ...ASSOCIATED WITH TWO
TROPICAL WAVES...EXTENDS FROM THE LESSER ANTILLES EASTWARD INTO THE
ATLANTIC FOR SEVERAL HUNDRED MILES. THIS SYSTEM SHOWS SOME SIGNS
OF ORGANIZATION...AND UPPER-LEVEL WINDS ARE FORECAST TO BE
MARGINALLY FAVORABLE FOR DEVELOPMENT AS THE SYSTEM MOVES WESTWARD
TO WEST-NORTHWESTWARD AT 15 TO 20 MPH. THERE IS A MEDIUM
CHANCE...30 PERCENT...OF THIS SYSTEM BECOMING A TROPICAL CYCLONE
DURING THE NEXT 48 HOURS.

2. SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY EXTENDS FROM NORTHERN HONDURAS
ACROSS THE CAYMAN ISLANDS AND JAMAICA TO HISPANIOLA IN ASSOCIATION
WITH A BROAD TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE. THERE ARE NO SIGNS OF
ORGANIZATION AT THIS TIME...AND THERE IS A LOW CHANCE...10
PERCENT...OF THIS SYSTEM BECOMING A TROPICAL CYCLONE DURING THE
NEXT 48 HOURS. REGARDLESS OF DEVELOPMENT...LOCALLY HEAVY RAINS ARE
POSSIBLE DURING THE NEXT DAY OR TWO ACROSS NORTHERN CENTRAL
AMERICA...THE CAYMAN ISLANDS...JAMAICA...AND HISPANIOLA.

ELSEWHERE...TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION IS NOT EXPECTED DURING THE
NEXT 48 HOURS.

Good luck to all!

Rules will be posted by noon today.
