NOAA named another gust of wind last night (Gabrielle) right before it dissipated.
How long before they start putting out press releases about the very active hurricane season of 2013?

They don’t care about lying, but as good hoaxers they cannot lie in a way that rises suspicion. That’s why they’re still talking about Sandy and the summer of 2012, etc.
They’re pretending that 2013 is not happening … and (this is the sad part) really counting on people to believe them.
CNN was too busy with cover his ass stories of Obama’s Most Excellent Middle East Adventure to go into full Hurricane Watch.
Maybe if they get four puffs of wind they will switch coverage.
In the 1980’s Neil Frank would have waited 24 hours (tropical disturbances eyed for cyclone formation had to meet the 24-hour persistent convection “rule”) to even name a depression. Gabby would have never qualified.
Barry, Erin and Fernand would have never qualified under these protocols either.
Before the 1970’s and reliable high-resolution satellites, Dorian would have been missed as well.
Basically, if this was 1963, we’d of had Andrea and Barry (Chantal in 2013) for two named moderate strength tropical storm thus far. But it’s 2013 and any mass of tropical cloudiness that changes shape is named.
Whoops! I just broke wind. Very briefly, it flowed at +70mph out of my ass.
Chalk up Tropical Storm Anto, please NOAA.
Erm, they don’t generally name “brown clouds” unless there is a smoke ring pattern to them.
Maybe NOAA needs to start butterfly farming in West Africa.

Satellite Data Shows a Very Active Tropical Atlantic, Gabrielle Weakens
The above is from a headline at WUWT hot sheet section.
mkelly,
Yes, there are currently 4 or so tropical waves in the Atlantic. This does mean that the Atlantic is very active right now. However, only one of those waves became a tropical storm, and that lasted less than 24 hours.
We shall see if any of the other waves increase in organization and strength, but as another reader posted above, by the old standards, we should have only had 2-3 named Atlantic storms so far this year, not 7.
The flood of Eeeevil, Mann-made CO2 molecules in the atmosphere is sapping the strength of these lovely, living storms. Everyone knows that you need oxygen to keep a living system strong and healthy…
You just wait, somehow, somewhere, some AGW charlatan is going to find a way to blame CO2 on the dearth of hurricanes. Bet on it.
Today on NPR here in Miami, FL, as they discussed this year’s storm season with a so-called expert, the “expert” bias was clearly evident. When asked about this year’s lack of hurricanes, his response was “well this year we have had several named storms, on track with what we expected, but we just haven’t been able to keep them going.”
He literally used THOSE words … “we have been unable to keep them going” … Fascinating and absolutely obvious.
Makes you wonder what he really meant, doesn’t it?
Over at Accuweather’s pro site yesterday, Henry Margusity’s headline on his blog touted the “above average hurricane season,” citing Gabrielle as the “seventh named storm.” He forgot to mention that four of them have dissipated over open water, and so never should been named in the first place. These people are either shameless or stupid.
I think the two are correlated (and not negatively).
Thanks, Steven, for pricking the inflated balloons of propaganda (pseudo-science).

Another gust of wind has entered the frame: TD 8
… and the rest of the Atlantic is filled with yellow blobs with no chance of becoming anything.
