2009 Hurricane Season Thread

[Keith]

Ana first named storm from the Atlantic, Bill out there too. Follow along all season with SciGuy and Weather Underground.

Ana's computer models are intriguing. From Eric:

The key question is how strong Ana will become. The official forecast is lower than most of the intensity forecast models (under "Early-cycle intensity guidance," click frame2). This is because of dry air around the storm and the fact that the official forecast brings Ana over Hispaniola, which forecaster Jack Beven notes is, "an occurrence that has destroyed storms much stronger than Ana."
