Katia is back with a bang 100m but she may still be

[malaise]

a fish storm

[taterguy]

1. Well, fuckety fuck fuck fuck

[underpants]

2. "a fish storm"? I have never heard that term

meaning that it will stay out at sea and just disturb the fish?

[malaise]

3. 100% correct

:hi:

[glowing]

4. Yep! Keep her out to sea please.

[CTyankee]

5. OK, glowing, I just seconded your motion.

I think the motion is agreed to!

[rocktivity]

6. She might disturb the Northeast coast shorelines, though

"Surf's way, way WAY up!"

7. Somebody is going to feel some wind from both Lee and Katia:

These fronts will intersect even more in the next few days:

8. The one big worry is that conditions may be pushing everything West

in a few days.
DUers are watching and prepared so we will continue to watch and hope it's a fish storm.

13. My worry is that the ridge builds back in and causes her to pull an Andrew.

Andrew started to recurve, then got shoved back west into Florida.

Fortunately the models are not indicating that happening.

[malaise]

14. Well one thing for sure is that the NHC models

are pretty accurate

[Broderick]

17. If you are on a boat - yep

That is 5-10 percent of getting any wind really on land. This thing is going to do a big u-turn.

9. A very cold wind came across the Rockies last night...

and can sometimes create havoc to the East. Whether or not it might affect the jet stream, I do not know. The temperature got down to the upper 40's last night. Very cool this morning.

11. lucky-

if it gets cooler and the storm misses us!

[Odin2005]

12. She's a smaller storm than Irene, that means she can intensify faster.

smaller storms have a tighter pressure gradient than large storms, and so don't need as low pressures for strong winds.

[malaise]

15. Irene is the reason she hasn't strengthened yet

She churned up the Atlantic so it wasn't as warm as when Irene passed through.

16. It looks like Conus can say farewell to Katia.

Latest NOAA forecast predicts a sharp right turn to the northeast.
