As a result they are easy to dodge. When these leave the tropics and form extra-tropical lows, they move faster and cover ocean wide areas. Dodging is impossible, and the seas have a chance to grow. In short, the tropical structure becomes far more dangerous to vessels as it fades from the headlines.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/FPB-78-2-Beam-3500mb-24-hrAtl1.jpg\" alt=\"500mb 24 hrAtl\" width=\"900\" height=\"570\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The key to evaluating the likelihood of this occurring is in the 500mb weather charts. Three days ago they were indicating a possible trip across the Atlantic for Bertha. The 24 hour forecast above shows the same. Check out\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.opc.ncep.noaa.gov\/shtml\/A_brief.shtml\">http:\/\/www.opc.ncep.noaa.gov\/shtml\/A_brief.shtml<\/a> for the complete N. Atlantic run of surface and 500mb data. This will be an interesting weather event. And for those who are afloat in Bertha\u2019s extra-tropical path, keep a storm anchorage handy and extra ground tackle ready to go.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hurricane Bertha has gotten a little press so far, but her evolution to extra-tropical structure indicates big things may be <a class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/setsail.com\/hard-core-weather-watchers-alert-bertha-is-going-to-rock\/\">&#8230;Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":32059,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,178,248],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-32058","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-dashew-blog","category-four","category-logs"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32058"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=32058"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32058\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":32060,"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32058\/revisions\/32060"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/32059"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=32058"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=32058"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=32058"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
