re: Alberto - Steadily Moving Inland

Ok thanks. Yeah me too but it is what is is. Three teenage girls and myself --- they've already made plans of how to spend days inside.

Huge waves incoming.

There will be waves in Gulf Shores

It seems like every holiday weekend the rain hits the gulf coast. It makes being stuck in traffic at the tunnel so much better

Looks like a Carnival ship found 45kt winds passing through.

From storm 2k>

@ToddKimberlain 45-kt ship report with 1007 mb east of the low pressure system near the east coast of the Yucatan would implies a 1003 mb central pressure. Winds probably are a little high, but with closed circulation already and organized deep convection, looks like a bona fide TC #90L

A fricking Carnival ship sailed through that thing?

the convection firing around the LLC? Was this expected? I thought the favorable environment would be further north into the Yucatan Straights?

Convection this morning is pretty typically of a highly sheared system. The vort on visible sat this morning is probably just one of multiple vorts rotating around a larger circulation. It may or may not become the primary LLC later on. If shear relaxes later on then the convection will be able to "hold on" to one of the vorts and develop a primary LLC.

yeah i forgot what hurricane it was but like 4-5 yrs ago i was on a cruise out of the GoM and we sailed "around" it. Boat was rocking so much shite was falling off of shelves. Lots of puke everywhere.

So a normal cruise

Apparently it will be subtropical storm Alberto.

Yes, but that is confusing to most people. So this thread will be TS Alberto and not STS, sTS or SS Alberto

Any new info from Huge Dong or Peej?

Ciao, Alberto
