kman, How is your WX station working out?

No problems so far. Very reliable and very accurate.

Gaston has survived the worst of the inhospitable conditions. Look for this to ramp up between 55 and 63 W.

steady as he goes all ahead full speed

I think when they(NHC) do upgrade , He will go straight back to TS status, over all his structure has improved, I see him as potentially high threat to the Eastern and Western Caribbean, jmo.

Hey, I was always taught to be kind to the older folks.

Two old men in a retirement village were sitting in the reading room and one said to the other, ''How do you really feel? I mean, you're 75 years old, how do you honestly feel?''

''Honestly, I feel like a new born baby. I've got no hair, no teeth, and I just peed myself.''....... See?..I,m kind...

The "old bloggers" know how to hit ctrl(plus,) and have installed Mozilla's "No Squint" program.

I know, but I can't find the Ctrl button. But thanks for the advice. Now I know how everyone can read the small print and I can't. Thanks for the tip. Here all this time, I thought Mozilla was a Japanese monster. (Actually, I never knew about the Ctrl+, it really works)

I hope you don't have to do a High Speed Wind test.

So many experts here today........Levi32 is "NOW" the only one I rely on.. sorry (other expert) getting to rude to the layman) Won't mention the name.
Levi.. You are the MAN. I read, listen ,obtain what you say. No BS from you.

Very good inflow noted on ex-Gaston.

What about StormW?

Maybe suite - mates or room mates or a non calorie sugar substitute?

LOL. or maybe both

Maybe I'll get a couple of our local politicians to come by and blow on it !

Slowly. But surely.

exGaston, is developing some convection now on the eastern side of the circulation, granted its only a few high topped showers, but he is getting the environment a little more moist.

Hi there. Thanks for the thought. Sometimes I hope I'm wrong, if that makes sense LOL

Quoting RecordSeason:
There is a very, very tiny, almost insignificant blob of convection starting on GAston's eastern side.

This probably isn't too important other than the possibility that it signifies weakening of the easterly shear the system has been experiencing.

I noticed that too. Actually there's one small blob, and one almost microscopic one. lol

CIMSS shows shear over Gaston is only 5-10 knots. Click the shear square and you can overlap it with satellite imagery and more.

perfect sense...

Gaston TD/TS by 8pm tonight I suspect!

Hi Everybody.


Is Gaston himself again?

According to the model runs we have, I just over-laid a potential cone with the TCHP Gaston will encounter:

Once it reaches 50W intense convection should be easier to develop for ex-Gaston.

...I guess so. 09L Gaston.

Quoting stormpetrol:

Could happen. I thought perhaps 2 am tonight to give the convection time to stick. The NHC will not want to upgrade until they are sure. Nothing worse than having to downgrade a system less than 12 hrs after an upgrade !

They will, as they can think about nothing else so they can sack his (insert word here) all day long.

If you can't get them , we will send you several un-named bloggers.

Yep. Shear should abate by that time as well.

Notice Earl's wake. And the Western Carib is just flat out scary.

Quoting alpha992000:


Yikes, Kman! As someone in 18.3 N and 66.0 I certainly hope Gaston somehow takes the WNW route a bit earlier than that. Something tells me though I better not eat any of the canned food we got for Earl yet. :-P Hey, after all Gaston replaced Georges on the name list and we know what happened in good ol' PR with the G man. *shudders*

Alpha are you in San Juan?

Reminds me when my ex asked me if i was pregnant.......
"Too early to tell"
Let's wait and see , tomorrow should tell us a lot from Gaston.
BTW... I was not pregnant, glad to say

You should be able to get Cat5 winds from the "Premier". LOL

Quoting MississippiWx:

yeah, bad timing :\

Though Gaston might appear small because of the lack of convection, if you look at the visible loop, the low level circulation covers quite a bit of area. He is not as small as he appears, jmo.

I hope you are wrong too.

Do you guys see Gaston coming to the Bahamas/Florida and then the Gulf or do you think it will go through the Carribean?
