its a bloody yoyo,lol now its down graded! Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina (CNN) -- Weakening by the hour but still covering a massive area, Hurricane Earl spun off the North Carolina on Thursday night, lashing parts of the Outer Banks with rain and high wind. People along the East Coast made just-in-case preparations despite the waning power of the storm. The hurricane has been downgraded to a Category 2 storm, the National Hurricane Center said Thursday night, but warned that "Earl is expected to remain a large and strong hurricane as it passes near the Outer Banks" of North Carolina. edition.cnn.com/2010/US/09/02/tropical.weather/index.html?hpt=T1#fbid=rOz8znGjFet&wom=falseit cant make its mind up yet ;D

Hurricanes require warm water as their energy source, the warmer the water, the greater potential the hurricane has to become powerful. Looking at the water temps on this map, we can see why Earl became flaccid and weak. And the same might be the case with Fiona, but if Gaston makes its way into the warmer waters shown here in light purple, there might be some trouble. Rabbit, I took your water temp map and altered the color legend to make my point easier to see, thanks. btw, nice avay!

maybe its just me but does anyone find it ODD that this massive hurricane with an EYE to die for that was a Cat 4 and was hinting at a cat 5 with in 24 hours died out to a cat 1 WTF the government is playing god again... manipulating the weather.. now is this a bad thing? prolly stopped a really bad disaster... why are the waters that warm... cause of that oil spill correction oil disaster. all the water ways are messed up cause of them.

Yes I know it doesn't have much to do with this thread. But, I feel the title is apt, at least.
Oh, also. Got beer in da fridge and the lady is out with her friends.

I was curious if the oil would make any difference in the water temps. I know that going in to hurricane season, the gulf waters were lower than normal, as reported by Noaa, but this last month has proven to be hot enough to account for the warmer temps shown on the map. During the year of Ivan and Katrina, pretty much the entire gulf would have been purple as apposed to the lesser amount currently shown on the map. As for Earl's fizzle, as soon as a hurricane crosses into cooler waters, they do tend to lose their strength and fizzle out. But if you look at the map again, if Earl had been slightly further to the west and followed that narrow stretch of warmer water, it might have been a disaster. As it was, they got some wind and a little rain. Not that I'm a certified meterologist or anything like that but one of my ex-wives' father worked for NOAA and tried to explain weather to me.
