As Sally's remnants soak Southeast, Hurricane Teddy and new storm in Gulf of Mexico pose new threats

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

After Hurricane Sally unloaded 20 to 30 inches of rain, unleashing wind gusts over 100 mph and generating a six-foot storm surge along the Florida Panhandle and Alabama coast, its remnants are marching through the Southeast, dumping more flooding rain. But, reflecting the breakneck pace of the 2020 Atlantic hurricane season, forecasters are already turning their attention to two more threatening tropical weather systems: Hurricane Teddy and a disturbance in the Gulf of Mexico that could soon earn the name Wilfred.



There is some chance Teddy could strike Bermuda and then northern New England toward the middle of next week, while the gulf system could be a problem for coastal Texas and the northern Gulf Coast around the same time.

The threat of new storms comes during the busiest Atlantic hurricane season on record. Twenty named storms have formed and, after the likely Wilfred, forecasters will be forced to draw from the Greek alphabet for naming additional storms. That’s happened only once before, in 2005, the busiest season on record.

Running out of hurricane names, we’ll soon switch to the Greek alphabet. That could present a problem.

1. We are going to run out of names for hurricanes.

We are already on Wilfred.

2. The hits just keep on coming. Keep denying climate change Republicans.

Not only has this "party" denied climate change for 50+ years to support their primary benefactors, Big Oil. Now they are showing how well they'll deal with the effects of their policies today. If you don't pay up, you're own your own, Florida and the rest of the Republican owned State governments.

Remember who dismantled solar panels on the WH in 1980 - Reagan. Remember who demoted the Department of Energy from a cabinet level position - Reagan. Who made money on ME Oil? I am betting on GW Bush. Would love to know his net worth as he entered "public service" and when he finally left in 1992. It would be eye-opening, I think.

3. Is it possible that Wilfred, if it turns into a hurricane, and Teddy may influence each other's

path like Marco and Laura did to each other about a month ago? So Wilfred should stay in the Gulf if it forms, what is the directional track of Teddy? Is it possible that Teddy threatens Southern Florida at some point? If Teddy threatens Florida, would it push Wilfred westward to strike western Louisiana and Eastern Texas, like Laura did?

4. No. Wilfred is in the Gulf and Teddy is nowhere near Gulf

and is not projected to be in the Gulf.

5. If Teddy tracks northwest, it would approach Florida from the Atlantic.

Teddy would stay an Atlantic storm if it hits Southern Florida. I asked because we are getting weather in. North Central Florida that says a storm is tracking our way. Sally gave us lots of rain, but it is too far north of us at this point to be giving us the rain and win that we are getting. We are also getting big, heavy gusts of wind. My guess is that either the Western Gulf disturbance or Teddy is influencing our weather, both are still hundreds of miles away.

6. Teddy is not projected to go near Florida or get into Gulf on Hurricane Center.

8. I didn't say get into the Gulf. It can stay in the Atlantic and do plenty of damage. nt

7. They won't come near to each other

Teddy is heading for New England and/or Canada or the Atlantic and soon to be Wilfred is heading for Mexico/Texas
