[@Hail_Sagan]

As always, thank you Dr Levi for your invaluable service to the community. Your expertise and professionalism is appreciated very much!

[@Tropical-Tidbits]

Thanks a lot :)

[@johngriffin618]

i was refreshing the channel to see your take on it. So tired of clickbaity channels.

[@jamessteele7010]

Same here.

[@hegemonycricket2182]

Yep. TropicalTidbits and In2thinair are the only weather channels worth subscribing to. These two have been very helpful and informative for me for several years now, and when you live in hurricane alley its crucial to have info like this.

[@philiplacey5430]

No kidding. Levi is the real deal. I'm not sure what qualifications these other guys have.

[@TheQuietfun]

Agreed. No sensationalism and only educated forecasting without insult to intelligence. Always the best!

[@timevaporwave]

One popular channel today said it could be a category 4 or 5 storm. Whenever I watch channels like Levi's though, I don't see that realistically playing out. Categories don't really matter too much though, as the wind, rain, and storm surge will still cause extensive damage over a large area. What people need to know is who's going to get hit the hardest, and how they should prepare.

[@drtbke]

Best weather channel on KZbin IMO. I found this channel years ago from the comment section of weather underground.

[@michaelmontgomery5326]

DITTO. :)

[@Sam_Saraguy]

Hey fellow Wundergrounders! I miss those days.

[@drtbke]

@@Sam_Saraguy I do too! It was great back in the day

[@boblong834]

Thanks!

[@Tropical-Tidbits]

Thank you!

[@DavidIrthum]

Thank you for this definitive forecast of things to come. Living in South Louisiana I am praying for my fellow Gulf States occupants that this will only stay a tropical storm.

[@brianguidry5246]

South Louisiana resident here!

[@Johnarroyo30]

Same from Tampa Bay

[@falcon8531]

Ah yes this is who we look forward to for storms like this, welcome back Levi from that mini break

[@trevorrenson372]

You rock Levi! Thank you from Florida. You provide the most objective and helpful information.

[@bodiless99]

He is about the only one I trust to give facts without hype

[@christianwilson5258]

Got 2 boat captains with me, we're following in key west

[@erinbacker4793]

​@@christianwilson5258Key West here too! I always wait for Levi's reports. He was the ONLY one a few years ago that said there would be possible storm surge flooding here in Key West. No one believed me and they all ended up with atleast a foot of water in their houses and had to buy several new appliances. I make all my friends and family true believers in Tropical Tidbits!!!😃

[@skepticinall]

As a utility worker I was waiting on your take. Thanks Levi ill be tuned in until its time to work.

[@Lori5564]

Thank you sir ! You are appreciated. ❤

[@lounaj7184]

Yes, thank you for what you do!

[@sanautin]

Thank you!

[@yourmomforpresident]

Thank you for your service❤

[@bobbyp68]

The report everyone was waiting for. Best no nonsense discussion in a sea of click bait. 👍🏻

[@Lethe69]

You ain’t kidding! Making last-minute decision about a vacation in the FL area - as soon as I heard of the possibility of a storm, I checked to see if Dr. Levi had posted. As soon as he did, I cancelled my plans. Better to be safe than sorry.

[@darrylhutchings1698]

I always wait for your information to arrive. So detailed and to the point. Love watching your forecast up here in Newfoundland

[@zygotepeyote]

Thanks Levi! A lot of us were waiting to hear your expert opinion on this storm. Always very much appreciated!!!

[@kingofthecatnap5780]

Thanks from Tampa Bay!

[@gulfgypsy]

I'm almost an hour inland from a potential landfall of the greater Cedar Key area --- I pray from anyone in the path of this system. Prep now rather than waiting until the last minute. Stay safe!

[@caseybrown2335]

Look up the history of storms that impacted cedar key. I’m starting to think we’re in a hot spot and we should expect this every year.

[@atlflgirl9634]

The Doctor is in 🙌😎

Thank you from NW FL

Watching closely from Clearwater Fl on the coast.

[@justincase1152]

So happy to hear your insight on this storm. I trust you! Your NO hype and proffessional manner is appreciated!

[@PatriciaSteere]

Favorite and only tropical weather channel I subscribe to.

[@tmartinez1948]

Thank You Doctor Cowan

[@dannysgirl1549]

This is my go to site for storm info. I live in Florida so I am definitely interested in seeing where it might come in.

[@500daysofesko4]

I’ve been following since Irma - thank you as always for all you do, sending love from Florida.

[@ExoHugh]

The latest HAFS-B forecast has some ridiculous numbers for Nine - a central pressure of 888mbars & max winds of 168knots! Fingers crossed for those in Florida that doesn't happen...

[@genehauser3913]

Good to see you again from the central panhandle of Florida.

[@colibri59]

Thank you Levi so good to see you’re back, we will be watching it closely!

[@michaelmac3]

Been waiting for this to drop all morning long. Thanks as always for your awesome breakdowns.

[@eligrobin3815]

It's amazing how this storm will thread the needle between Cuba and the Yucatan. A little bit further east or west and terrain would probably have limited development.

[@patpierce4854]

Thank you for explaining about stacking the low and mid level vortices into one future storm. I saw those 2 different cloud layers this morning, and wondered if they had been sheared apart, or just formed up separately. Appreciate your clear explanations, Dr. Cowan!

[@lounaj7184]

Thank you Dr. Levi. We appreciate your input

[@vaderjones357]

Thanks Levi! 💜🌀

[@BigBadBillyGATEZ]

Thank you for giving us the best. Better than news channels

[@melissakay6143]

Thank you Dr. Cowan for this explanation of the factors in play at this time! 👏 ❤

[@SShellbee]

always so clear to understand, thank you so much Levi. Kudos

[@Stat1769]

Thank you!!!

[@HughLlewellyn]

Thanks Levi, I've been waiting for this video. I saw a video by Accuweather a couple days ago warning that there were all the elements in place for formation of a tropical system and that people on the gulf coast should be getting prepared because conditions were right for a major hurricane. There was a LOT of scoffing in their comments. That it was a big "nothing burger". People dismissed the models that showed possible formation of a tropical system, coupled with high ocean heat to a greater depth to lend fuel to a forming system. A few of us who understand how these gyres can spin up were concerned, but the majority of commenters were mocking them. I hope those people don't live on the Gulf coast, or if they do, they're paying attention now despite their scorn.

[@sanautin]

Thank you Dr Cowen, from south Mississippi.

[@aerialeggbeater2644]

Thanks Levi

[@rainmanana]

This is the video I've been waiting for ever since seeing this storm on the models a few days ago

[@eric131313]

This is destined to be legendary storm

[@gmdrandom6287]

Maybe not

[@boldasalion6436]

Let us pray that its not. 🙏

[@tebelshaw9486]

Suwanee County is in its path AGAIN!!!! 😢

[@fredalyons8580]

Thanks so much for your forecasts.

[@floridatodd7970]

Thank you! I was told another may develop behind this one. Sebring seems to be hit with the last two "I" named storms. You have been a great asset to our news and know you are very much appreciated, sir.

[@Lori5564]

Thank you Dr.Cowan..🙏🙏🙏

[@Bunny-rh1yy]

Watching from Fairhope, Al. Thank you!

[@ChrisEllenBliven]

Thank you, Levi!

[@KlamathRiverMedia]

Last time I was this early hurricane Dorian was just a dust devil in the beaches of Senegal 🇸🇳

[@johncmoore416]

I live in Tallahassee. I am prepared for the worst and hoping for the best. Got everything I need but gas is going to be tricking taking the kid back and forth to school each day. womp, womp.

[@SueHearts]

Thank you, Levi...

[@chasew6170]

Thank you! The track and dates remind me of Hurricane Ian in 2022

[@Oracle4DeAtlantis]

Beautiful work, Levi …

[@milagrosmogro49]

Thank you Mr. Levi for the updates. I was waiting for your updates. but it's ok because I watched Mark the weather man plus. And he said it. But thank you very much, from saint Petersburg fla.

[@michaelmontgomery5326]

Your so far the best information I ever see concerning storm diagnosis. Thank You Brother.

[@jeffersonspace]

Thanks for the great summary on Potential Tropical Cyclone Nine.

[@christianwilson5258]

Key west checking in... Following, this is looking like another Ian

[@brianguidry5246]

Thank you for the updates Dr. I trust you the most!

[@ChrisMFlorida]

My wife thinks this will be huge. I tend to agree, bigger than we've seen in years.

[@Lori5564]

Shhhh! 😂

Good afternoon Dr Levi. Am soooooo happy I found you, I can depend on your accurate updates to tell me how PTC9 will affect us in Jamaica . Thank you

[@appgrad22]

I'm in the mountains of NC...this is looking a little rough for us up here

[@RiverDocs]

Thanks Levi. You're the best!

[@scorpian1960mz]

Thank you so much

[@Dillinger128]

Levi, you draw really REALLY good circles. just sayin. always good info thank you!

[@HughLlewellyn]

Haha, I do appreciate his circles too. 😄

[@MissouriMatthew]

Cat 5!

[@dirtisbetterthandiamonds]

Nature Coast thanks you Levi! Now where are those Tums...

[@OutruntheWind]

It should be noted that while it's hard to take them too seriously before the storm has even consolidated, most of the hurricane models are showing this coming ashore as a high-end cat 4 or cat 5 storm. This doesn't mean that it will for sure be that strong and it's good not to panic, but people on the coast should know that a storm that strong is not out of the realm of possibility, and you should be thinking about readying your plans and property for it. Again, it's too early to take those models seriously and things like shear from the upper low could disrupt it, just keep in mind that the upper limit for this storm is potentially very high, and prepare accordingly.

[@steeltoffees]

Just coming back to these Helene forecasts since so many people as a part of the aftermath are saying it "came out of nowhere"... this is the five day out forecast you can see at 11:15 that has the tip of SC, western NC/TN area dead center of the forecast track. People need to pay attention to these types of forecasts, meteorologists, and climate scientists rather than throwing hands up and acting like after the fact no one had any idea these events were coming.

[@rowanbarrows7724]

Thx Doc

[@AthenaKeatingThomas]

Wow. 0 to 60 in a day or two! Thanks for the analysis as always!

[@geonerd]

Thanks again!

[@jerrydemilio7521]

Thank you sir as always

[@artemismoon7655]

Waiting anxiously to see where this thing goes. Hoping it will be slow to develop, but probably more likely it will develop fast. Sigh.

[@AYRTTV]

As always you are the best!

[@Discisoutofbounds]

You think Coastal NC/SC could have impacts if the eastward trend continues? Just had 20 inches of rain in parts of Brunswick/New Hanover counties within a day just last week from PTC8

[@justincase1152]

I am wondering the same thing. We do NOT need even one more drop of rain here! I think we are going to have a ton of rain, I am preparing accordingly incase we get dumped on again

[@kattmilk]

South Floridian here on the SE coast. Do you think we will feel the effects?

[@Saturnium119]

Thank you :))))

[@JonesDrew3]

Is anyone else feeling deja vu from the storm earlier this season?

[@CammmmG]

Will Orlando feel any effects from this?

[@larslarsheim1741]

Levi is the GOAT

[@mattspyro]

This might be the big one

[@joeg4707]

No way, tropical activity during this time of year? Unreal.

[@rtaylor616]

It’s not the “Big Bend” it’s the “Arm Pit”!

[@97warlock]

THATS COOL. IF BY CHANCE ITS A CAT 2, iM GOOD. 3 is where I am hunkered down & freightened but not so muuch a 2 . u forget, we rode out 10 hours of IAN

[@robertjefferson1372]

Nice

[@MiguelRPD]

Best of luck to the West Coast

[@meebs86]

Have they switched away from using the "invest" terminology?

[@patpierce4854]

I believe this storm area has been an Invest, but it’s developing pretty quickly so the terminology change makes it possible to post storm watches and warnings, where as an Invest, those can’t be posted.

[@rbenn5]

No this was 97L.

The Eastern Gulf of Mexico declines the visit. We have had our share lately.

[@sleepydoppy8516]

It still looks like it's going to hit land before the US

Aw sh**, here we go again

[@michaelfkessler2685]

And to think the Project 2025 wants to commercialize NOAA. Totally weird.

[@zackakai5173]

If it'll get people killed so that some degen billionaire can make an even bigger profit margin, they want to commercialize it.
