I think the cool pool has been in place / developing since Spring? Somebody I'm sure can confirm that.

Also have to believe that is keeping the humidity in check when the wind is off the water as opposed to having a warm pool there as we've had over the last several years. Also have to believe that maybe the cool pool is keeping heavy rainfall events in check when conditions favor such events.

Bastardi is mad that this isn’t being highlighted in the NHC TWOs so far. Remember the recent no name system that hit SE NC with extreme flooding along with TS force sustained winds? JB is still mad about that and I don’t blame him.

The thing is that the season started with significantly warmer subtropical than tropical SSTs in the absolute sense, an uncommon setup. That’s evidently added to unusual tropical stability. After that, we added an unusual E US mean upper trough since August, which itself may be a separate factor negative for development. However, neither of those will likely carry over to W Caribbean season as a negative for future development. Plus we have Invest 92L now, which prior to 12Z runs had strong support for TCG.

12z Ukie pretty wet

some of the 12z runs have a bit of an inverted trough feature over the region...

This is the wettest Euro run yet for the coastal low. This is 6z:

Highly recommend the movie Listers on YouTube. It’s about birdwatching, but it’s hilarious.

I suppose it wouldn’t be impossible for this to be designated a TD or even a TS. Bastardi is mad that the NHC hasn’t highlighted this yet.

After the sprinkle fest coming up, it looks like another beautiful stretch on tap.

Ocean temp is still in the low 70s at the beaches. Had quite a few rescues yesterday in this area

82. Summer hanging on?

Surprised the system right off NC isn't showing up on anyone's radar. It seems to be quite close to tropical storm level, with winds about 55 kph.

Inland for the big + departures

And it looks to screw the NW crew for the most part (possibly entirely). We could all use some rain drops.

Ravens beat the spread again. They are 2-0 vs the line this season. These are the same betting odds that currently has them tied for #1 super bowl favorite.

Just drove from Nags Head back through currituck. It's terrible. It was pouring on the beach. Then not so much through southern Currituck until north of Grandy and downhill again. Very gusty. Nasty. Feels damp but non tropical.

Please just hold the heavy/steady stuff off until AFTER 12:00 pm tomorrow in western Montgomery County.

Not tropical but plenty of impacts

not seeing any end to the mild weather anytime soon

And spread out over 24-48 hours. Not much consistency on when it’s raining for the metro areas.

This is an interesting take regarding AMO activity. The conclusion makes sense when you connect volcanic events during the inactive period timeframes. https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abc5810 Multidecadal climate oscillations during the past millennium driven by volcanic forcing

If we do in fact end up below 100 ACE, I think we need to seriously reconsider the 3 main factors the majority of people use for tropical seasonal forecasts…..ENSO state, MDR SSTs and the overall AMO state

Above average temps will couple with it. Nina is almost always warm/wet cold/dry.

That pacific look is awful actually for the eastern US. The strongest warm anomalies are in the western pac. I think this is gonna reinforce western Aleutian ridging and troughing over the rockies. Should be a very familiar feeling winter for the I95, similar to the last few years with western storm tracks/great lakes cutters.
