  2. Tammy looking the best it’s looked at any point right now. Might see a higher intensity than the 85 kt forecast if trends continue
  3. This could be the worst all time hit for western Mexico. Cannot imagine a more dire situation, especially given folks had 0 time to prepare
  4. The 10 mb drop between passes of the last recon mission is insane. Nuclear grade red meat in the EPAC this year. Sadly, this one’s aimed for a population center
  5. Wow this thing is a beast. Might be close to cat 5
  6. Wow, somehow Otis has rapidly strengthened into a major. FL winds to 110 kts and unflagged SFMR values near 100 kts. Absolutely insane high end season going on over in the EPAC
  7. First “light” frost of the year this morning on roofs mostly. 37.6 the low
  8. EPAC producing again. Looks like another overachiever though this time all indications are it will slow down and weaken before it approaches this coastline, unlike lidia
  9. Landfall at peak intensity and intensifying rapidly. Wish there was footage from the landfall point but thankfully this kept heading south into extremely rural countryside
  10. 140 mph Cat 4. Incredible RI through landfall. Just wow
  11. Major Rapidly intensifying into landfall. This doesn’t happen on Mexico’s west coast often
  12. 42 this morning. Frost out towards Louisburg
  13. As if on cue- Philippe was finally downgraded and the streak is over
  14. With Philippe continuing (albeit a disorganized mess) the streak of an active Atlantic storm continues. Since August 20, there has not been an advisory cycle without an active system. Further, with models now showing development of the next wave coming off Africa, it will be a race to see if that development occurs prior to Philippe’s extratropical transition. What a streak regardless
  15. I still don’t see how this has managed to remain classified as a tropical system for the past couple days. Recon yet again shows a broad, trough-like circulation
  16. Per the GFS, the system opens up into a wave before being absorbed and combining with a large, non-tropical low over GL and Canada. Pretty wild to see what’s left of a tropical cyclone go from the Virgin Islands to Ontario without ever touching the US
  17. Per recon, radar, and sat, I’m not sure Philippe still has a closed center or meets criteria to still be a storm. Looks to have opened up
  18. If you read CSU’s prediction, it was pretty spot on. My only critique to this point is they called for an ACE of 160 with 18 storms. We are well below that with 18 storms due to many weak and short lasting named systems this year. However, their forecast reasoning played out in the face of ENSO and I think it was truly an impressive call, especially to increase their prediction during a period when the basin was completely inactive.
  19. As of this writing, the North Atlantic basin has exceeded an ACE value of 123. This is the value typically associated with an “average” season. I do not think many people predicted an above average ACE season, much less with more than a month to go and two active storms. Add in 18 named storms with 3 becoming major hurricanes (all cat 4+) and this has been an extremely active year. For an El Niño season (specifically a strong El Niño) this is absolutely unprecedented.
