Swell yesterday were not tropical, yet....Monday into Tuesday. TS Arlene is head straight west, but it remains 1500 miles away. Swell at 25 MPH means about 75 hours out. Even if it turns (which it will), we will have waves already generated headed in our direction, size too early to be determined yet. But it will be a ground swell!! just opinion.....
Now that I think about it Sigmoney, isn't tropical pits and new Hampshire an oxymoron? How did I not pick up on this blatant sarcasm to begin with? ...and is an undertoe the same as undertow? Or is it like a riptide?
Post-Tropical Cyclone Arlene Discussion Number 9 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL012017 1100 AM AST Fri Apr 21 2017 Arlene has become embedded within the circulation of a large extratropical cyclone, and lost most of its deep convection while surrounded by cold air. The post-tropical cyclone will move toward the southwest and south at about 20 kt until dissipation later today. This is the last advisory on Arlene. Additional information on this system can be found in High Seas Forecasts issued by the National Weather Service...under AWIPS header NFDHSFAT1 and WMO h
It is still a cyclone at this writing. It has even slowed down which may allow it to intensify a bit. That means it will still be producing swell, ground swell. And if we get 4-6ftr ground swell mid week next week, I will be very happy with that. Could I be wrong?? Absolutely. Just trying to be an optimist!!
