• Sailing is all about the Weather.

    Big into the exploration of Atlantic Hurricanes since Katrina came uninvited into his world, James (Jim) Gurley (JamesG161) has followed every Tropical Storm birthed in Atlantic, Gulf and Caribbean waters since. Being a boater, he knows that we often need more time to prepare than we get from the TV weather folk. Jim relies on the science of storm development to share early warning info with friends and fellow boaters.

    Early in 2018, Jim and John Shepard, (JSSailem) started to chat about the weather data available. John asked Jim to help forecast Pacific NW storms, and this morphed into discussions on weather forecasting.

    For John, sailing in the PNW is sometimes hit and miss. One day is ugly, then a string of beautiful days but no wind, followed by a series of blue-sky days and 12 knot breezes. Being ready for those great sailing days means you need to look to the Pacific Ocean and what is brewing. John has been into Pacific NW Weather since the 1970’s when his first PNW November storm hit bringing more than 40 days and 40 nights of continual rain.

    Together we want to share information, new APPs, safety, and thoughts about letting the weather help you. Identify some of the resources for sailors and help prepare you for your next sailboat outing.

    It is far better to go out on the water knowing what to expect in weather terms, than to be out on the water and see dark ominous clouds suddenly appear, unprepared.

INVESTigation 97 L [L=Atlantic Basin] has been on NOAA's watch for a few days.
_______
The Tropical Atlantic Basin has been quiet for weeks and @jssailem and I have been investigating why.
We understand why now and will post those findings in another thread.

TABD tracking is best for next 48 Hours.

It is moving fast so not much Intensification.

But of course it will probably be a Named Storm or TS Danielle.

Good time to prepare for this Season.

@Johann it is not something that is commonly discussed, but there are numerous active volcanoes currently errupting on the planet. When you consider the amount of gasses and particulate they are putting into the atmosphere daily, I begin to wonder how we mere humans believe we can affect the climate.

But that is a world of politics that is beyond our area of discussion.

Here is a world map of the active volcanoes currently errupting today.

On the grand scheme this map shows the RINGS of FIRE that spawn the volcanes we have come to know and love.

@JamesG161 Do we have anything to be concerned about that there have been no significant "fish storms" this year that I am aware of to pull stored energy out of the Atlantic? It seems by this year in the past we've had a few significant storms in the Atlantic if not a few Hurricanes. Your perspective would be appreciated.
