Yeah, I just heard that PA, VA, and the inner NE are getting hit head on from Isabel. It's gonna be nasty.
Good thing it wasn't Hurricane Shineekwa. |

Nrjizer. Just so you know its not a thunderstorm. Its a hurricane. Albeit it has many strong storms inside of it. According to the The Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale it is borderline between a category 4 and a category 5, meaning that the relative wind speeds are roughly 155 mph (this is not accounted with the velocity of the hurricane either.
Quickstep, there arent any direct warnings yet for the coast. This is because out to 2-3 days is when meteorologists can tell exactly where the storm will go. anything past 3 days is probabilistic. meaning computers compute where they think the hurricane will go with the associated weather patterns that are going on right now. For example, the cold front that is slowly pushing its way across the US (And is just west-northwest of FL) is going to play a big factor in not only the movement of the storm, but also the intensity it will have as it continues to push its way to the coast.
and btw for those wondering what site i go that from... I didnt. I am a senior meteorology student right now!:tongue2 |

Oh yipee! As if I didn't have enough rain this year I'm going to get pounded with even more. I can't wait!
I'm so ing sick of rain, it's ruined all of my outdoor plans this year. My most current one was going to the NHRA drag races this weekend, which were canceled due to rain. But, I drove 3 hours in it before I decided to turn around and head home figuring that it would be called. :whip: |
