There is something weird with these last two storms and the weather radar’s tracking of them.

    SS: I’m not a meteorologist but I do frequently look at the weather radar to see how storms are developing / moving… I can usually get a more accurate local forecast by doing that than what the official forecast calls for; it’s just physics and watching what a front / storm has been doing is fairly easy to project out a few hours.

    I’ve noticed something strange with these last two… they only show up on the “projected” future radar.

    The way The Weather Channel’s radar works is it shows actual radar data until the current time and then projects out into the future.

    I don’t have screenshots from Helene but it did the same thing Milton is doing now: nothing on the historical radar but fast forward 30 minutes and you’ve got a full blown hurricane.

    I don’t have any answers but it’s weird and I’ve never seen it do this before.

    I’ve been following weather since I was a kid (I’m 40 now) and one thing is always consistent, the storms that form this time of year always curve to the east. Now l, I’m not saying it isn’t weird but this is something I’ve noticed. I used to be that weird kid that would watch the weather channel all summer long

  3. What if Milton was created to devastate Florida to take attention off Western NC so they can go in and do what they want with the mines while the national attention is redirected.

    I’m purely talking out of my ass, and this is conjecture.

  4. What I found strange was how this latest hurricane gave birth to a smaller one over the course of a few hours. This is something I’ve never seen before.

    Observations from Florida man, October hurricane getting squeezed between two cold fronts, looks like its directed at Fl, but take the path of least resistance through Florida.

    Its so strong because its legit funneling hotwet air to its eye, they blow up real fast. 

    The thing is… Hurricanes usually cycle and lose strength, a monster like that usually starts ripping itself apart from wind shear and starts to degrade a little, especially with interference from the Yucatan peninsula, i will be surprised if it stays that strong, but who knows

    Bonus, look up the track of hurricane jeanne, we got slapped back to back in 2004, no power for almost a month after getting slammed back to back with 115 mph

    i dont remember ever seeing a hurricane start in the western gulf. They usually almost always start down by mexico and gain strength as they travel north. This is very sus. I’m not a meterologist and its possible im misremmbering.
