Hi debs
You probably have this link, but in case you don't:

Yep, I have that one...I won't tell you how many different weather sites I have bookmarked to keep up with this stuff...lol. However, now everyone can watch and see what my weather is like! :D A note of caution though, I was watching all those sites with Lake Charles LA as my location (I have a very dear friend who lives there) and from all of the stuff I was reading on that, she didn't have much bad weather at all! Unfortunately, it wasn't very accurate, since she doesn't have a house or a job or a car left.
The good thing is that the earlier they become strong way out in the gulf, they tend to attenuate before they get on the motherland. Warren Madden from TWC and that blonde from TWC who are part of the 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron are going to fly through again and give a live feed to TWC after they land tomorrow.
They said it was lowered to a cat 4 as of now. 1:25 am thurs morning 10-20-05 :)
Hi Tex~
You need to watch the eyewall cycle as well ;) This can have a major impact on strengthening and weakening.

I think this one is heading for tampa, its due....Ya its kinda odd that we are getting cat5's in oct. they useualy don't show up after aug, but hey the gulf temps are at record highs for some reason...well hell when you look all over the plant you see wirdly warm temps...what that the permafrost is melting in siberia...well i guess the planets just warmer this year...but but the president said global warming was junk science, there must be some other reason the gloabe is warming up.
Hope it peter's out by the time it makes landfall, I worked on the Andrew cleanup, and that was a mess :(
Up in the Northern part of Canada there is some serious melting going on, and the people of the North (Inuit, Eskimo) are very worried, as a lot of their ecosystem is changing, a lot of their traditional hunting is disappearing (Polar Bears are not as plentiful) they are all chasing the ones which are leaving for better ground.Quote:

Permafrost
If you think it will get better, then you should read this bit about that Monster they call "China"Threat to Enviroment
Blah, we get no mercy do we. I hope this isn't as bad as expected. Or atleast doesn't hit the area I'm in as hard as expected.
Let's get to the topic.......I know at least three people who've hinted at "global warming", have you encountered a few too?
The educated will direct you towards THE NORTH ATLANTIC OSCILLATION.

AccuWeather.com 2005-2006 Winter Forecast
Wednesday, October 12, 2005 10:21 AM EDT
The AccuWeather.com Long Range Forecast Team, led by Chief Meteorologist Joe Bastardi, has released its official Winter Forecast for 2005-2006. The forecast calls for colder-than-normal temperatures in the Northeast, with a milder-than-normal winter in the West.
Snowfall in New England and the mountains of the Pacific Northwest are expected to be above normal, while the center of the nation will see as much as half of the normal snowfall. Overall, New England will be the hardest hit, with a cold and snowy winter expected.
Active Hurricane Season
AccuWeather.com bases its findings on a study of the 2005 hurricane season and other similar "hyper-hurricane" seasons, particularly 1933, 1969 and 1995. The winters that followed each of those active hurricane years were cold in the Northeast. The winter of 1995-96 was cold across the northern Plains and the Southeast. Bitter cold gripped the Midwest in the winter of 1969-70, while a severe winter settled over the Northeast in 1933-34, a winter that was unseasonably warm west of the Ohio Valley.
Active hurricane seasons are a by-product of warmer-than-normal water temperatures in the Atlantic Ocean. The warmer-than-normal water at higher latitudes of the Atlantic sets up a blocking pattern, forcing the cold air that builds across central Canada into the eastern Great Lakes and New England.
Temperature Forecast
The forecast calls colder-than-normal temperatures (by as much as 3.5 degrees) over the Northeast. The West will be warmer than usual, as much as 4 degrees warmer over the Great Basin. This forecast indicates a continuing trend of normal- to below-normal temperatures over the Northeast that started during the winter of 2000-2001 and was interrupted only once. The midsection of the nation will have near to above-normal temperatures.
Snowfall Forecast
The Northeast has seen more snowfall than average in four of the past five winters, and that trend looks to continue again this winter. Factors in the North Atlantic leads to enough cold in the region so that even if it is drier than normal, it will snow more than normal. A warm summer usually leads to normal or above-normal snow amounts in the Great Lakes. This appears to be the idea for the eastern Lakes, but the trend may need to be extended westward.
The other area that will receive above-average snowfall is the mountains of the Pacific Northwest, a welcome change from the dry winter of 2004-2005. The assumption is that the warm water south of Alaska will push storms into the region, so that even if it is milder than normal, it snows more. The warmer-than-normal temperatures, combined with moisture-starved storms, will result in below-normal snowfall in the Plains.
