This isn't a horn tooting session but some comments on the NHC's
handling of Lenny.
I'm really surprised to see the NHC behind the eight ball so far with
Lenny. Normally towards the end of a Hurricane season they are usually
really on the ball, some years even overaggressive by calling
questionable systems tropical.
We started warnings of probable tropical cyclone development back on
11/9, called him T.D. #16 36 hours before the NHC, a Tropical Storm 18
hours ahead of the NHC and a Hurricane 12 hours before the NHC, all
correctly and based on satellite imagery.
It's interesting but totally understandable that it's on an eastward
track but I can't say that I can ever remember that happening at that
latitude.
