Once again, the storm has intensified much more quickly than first calculated. Already a Cat 2, almost a Cat 3. Current estimations (guesses) have it strengthening to Cat 4, then backing off to Cat 3 by landfall Friday. The "cone" is pretty much the state of Louisiana. I believe that this will be an active map:
Might as well put all the cones and whatnot in one place instead of a thread for every storm.
I will be focusing on Atlantic storms, given that Pacific storms don't really affect GSC participants much.
I also want to apologize for focusing in the past on storms that are headed for Florida and then losing interest once I'm out of the cone. I usually expect others to jump in once that's done, but that doesn't seem to happen a lot.
So anyway, let us begin with...
Raf, what a year 2020 has been for some people. Covid, hurricanes, dirty politics, ect. I think we should cancel the rest of the year, and move forward to 2021. I know this is not possible, but I think 2020 may go down, as the worse year in American History, since 1968. For everyone living in hurricane prone areas, I wish for you, and your loved ones to be safe. I have several siblings who live in Florida, and I pray for them to be safe also.
Well, Epsilon is out there and predicted to reach hurricane strength, though it should stay in the middle of the Atlantic. I think that ties us for the 2004 season for most named storms. And there's that disturbance in the Caribbean...

This just in: Nana has changed course and is now headed for the local bingo hall.

I'm sure you're all wise and savvy enough to pick your own charities to support at this time. I'm sending my relief donation to the Foundation Beyond Belief. https://foundationbeyondbelief.org/c

I usually just right-click the image to copy it and then paste it here. Apparently, that copies all the embedded information, as well. George

A non-static picture of Beta. It has already weakened quite a bit, though it will still give the Texas coast a decent amount of rain.

My town got about 15 inches of rain over the last three days. Some lower lying areas got some flooding, but Beta was not a bad storm.

The Atlantic Tropical Storm season doesn't end until November 30.
PLENTY of time.

This one speaks for itself. Not sure what Greek letter we're up to, but I think it's Gamma: IF this one reaches tropical storm status.

Well, it's more than 48 hours since the last image, so let's see how things are... oh looky here...

Assuming it maintains that heading, Gamma won't even impact populated areas of Mexico (well, after it passes the Yucatan).
We've had "Nana" and "Gamma." What, no "Meemaw"?

Delta, on the other hand, is not @#$!ing around.
Oh, hi, Louisiana!

The current "plan" is for Delta to pick up the remnants of Gamma before heading north. They say it might be a Cat 2 by landfall.

And here's the static version as of noon Tuesday.
And yea, if I still believed in God, I would think She is seriously trying to send Louisiana a message.

And we have a new record, with Zeta.
The good news is, it only has a 50% chance of hitting Louisiana.

Impact on most of Louisiana less likely, now, though Nawlins could still get hit.

And now we have Eta. Cat 4! Might bust up in Central America, might get back into the Gulf.
