NOAA GSFC GEOS displays possible 2nd Hurricane Inbound

NASA satellites display a second smaller hurricane has formed approx 1500 miles off of the East Georgia coast, and just south of Bermuda.



By following the link below, the second smaller hurricane can be seen spinning into view, on 110827 at 11:00, in the lower right of the window.

The second smaller hurricane can be seen on the US Navy Monterey’s satellite system.
This can be viewed here.

Also here on the NexSat system.

Has anyone else heard of a second hurricane?
PS:
Please view the links's movies before commenting.

there was a thread a few days back called "did irene just split in two?", I believe this is related but not so much as the need to further the discusion there, this seams more like a confirmation.

im going to check on the webcast guy again, i hope he's still going, its the only info im buying, since im not in the US, live feed is about the best judgement I can make.

I saw that on the RSOE website but then it disappeared, listed as a tropical depression growing into a tropical storm. I thought nothing of it at the time.

This storm was known as TC 10. About 3 days ago it was actually formed up as a tropical storm. What you see now is what is left of the system which is now falling apart. The current projections show that it will continue to fall apart.

As a matter of fact it is now known as Invest 91 on Weather Underground.

This isn't the first and it won't be the last

It's HURRICANE season! Shocker if a hurricane pops up huh?

That is not a hurricane. Do you know what the qualifications are for a hurricane?? That little storm isn't a hurricane.

National Hurricane Center barely calls it a tropical cyclone.
Chance of tropical cyclone formation

1. A TROPICAL WAVE CENTERED A FEW HUNDRED MILES SOUTHEAST OF THE CAPE VERDE ISLANDS IS PRODUCING A LARGE AREA OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS APPEAR CONDUCIVE FOR DEVELOPMENT OF THIS WAVE DURING THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS AS IT MOVES WESTWARD AT 10 MPH. THIS SYSTEM HAS A MEDIUM CHANCE...30 PERCENT...OF BECOMING A TROPICAL CYCLONE DURING THE NEXT 48 HOURS.

So it's barely even considered a storm right now, why jump to it being a hurricane. It's hurricane season, storms form all the time and some turn into hurricanes, not all do.

The storm you refer to is not a hurricane. It is a tropical depression with 50 MPH winds www.tropicalstormrisk.com...

Hardly the end of the world. These storms for one after another off the NW African coast and make their way to the US. So what is the big deal? Is someone auditioning for the fearmongering US media?

edit on 28-8-2011 by MrWendal because: (no reason given)

I tried to get a zoom image of "91" but it won't let me.
I then tried to go to the "wundermap" and it's a blank page.

Easy killers.. the thread title does say "possible"

Seriously, this storm the OP is linking was a tropical depression (technically) it is currently falling apart. 3 days ago it was much more formed up. I just did some more checking around and this depression has a 30% chance of reforming.

That being said, it is not expected to reform. The one to watch (if you really want to watch something) is what is right behind it. It is a large depression coming off the coast of Africa that also has a 30% to form... and it has a lot of ocean to do so.

You are in the "radar" section of weather underground. If you mouse over the "Severe Weather" tab, then select "Tropical and Hurricane" from the drop down menu, it will bring up a page. Scroll down below the map and you will see 3 listings. Irene, Invest 91 and Invest 92. You should be bale to make your way from there and if not, just let me know and I will do what I can to help.

Yes, I said " possible", because it has a 30% chance to reform. In the video links supplied, it is spinning.

It's not unusual - especially this time of year - for there to be 2, 3 or even 5 tropical depressions, storms and hurricanes in the Atlantic area.

The system you highlight is INVEST 91L which has just been upgraded to tropical storm Jose. It is not expected to cause any problems and will probably run up the Atlantic and slightly perturb a couple of whales.

INVEST 92L off the Cape Verde islands looks worth watching though. It may well become Hurricane Katia and follow a similar course to Irene (based on current model projections)
