Katia has regained hurricane status once again. As of Sunday, Hurricane Katia was located to the northeast of the Lesser Antilles and was moving off to the northwest.

 

Katia has been battling wind shear over the last couple of days and has been flipping between minimal hurriane and strong tropical storm strength. The long-term forecast calls for continued strengthening. It is still too early to determine if any land areas, including the U.S. East Coast, will be directly affected by this system.

 

Much of the uncertainty in the track forecast is associated with an upper-level trough, partially associated with Lee, over the eastern states later in the week. The exact orientation and postion of this trough will play a role in the steering for Katia.

 

Residents along the East Coast should monitor this situation closely.

Man, I am glad I have a generator. Personally I could use the rain so I don't have to water the lawn.

Oh noes - I might lose cable internet again!

This one will get blown out to sea.

Quick guys, we can knock it off course if we just stand on the shoreline and start firing at it! We might go to jail, but how many times have you ever gotten to shoot at a hurricane? C'mon I'm already in my car!

This one will get blown out to sea.

I think so too, at least most of it. I also hope so for all the 9/11 stuff going on in NYC this weekend. My wife who is Port Authority and deeply involved with the rebuild says they're getting a little (pre-maturely) nervous about that.

Please, for the sake of my sanity, will this damn thing go away... or at least not hit the shore on Saturday afternoon...

 

God, I hope not. I just got done spending $200 replacing groceries ruined in the last hurricane induced power outage.

Oh god damn it not again

Well... they don't call it hurricane season for nothin!

latest computer models....

 

 

I am not a meteorologist but is there a chance of the upper level trough in lieu of bumping her out to see suck her in and kinda steer it north along the coast....?? I think that might be viable.

 

It is more interesting to think what will haoppen to the remnants of Lee as a LOW approaches the coast of the south east as Katia is riding up that direction....can they combine?? Happen in the winter to generate nor;easter's....usually to bump the hurricane off to the north atlantic need a nice high pressure system moving west to east and nice strong steering winds....

Surfs up dude!!
