    The 0Z Euro still has a TC on a similar path to the 12Z but it isn’t as strong as the 12Z had, especially in the W Caribbean, where the 12Z had at least a cat 3. This is at most a cat 1 there. Regardless, it would still be pretty amazing in early July to have a TC not only survive the Caribbean but also strengthen into a (near) H as it crosses it!

    I don't presently have access to compare, but yesterday's 12Z EURO had the ULL over the central GOM, which aided ventilation and built an ULAC right over the TC in the WCARIB. The GFS runs have all had the TUTT/ULL placed much further south and in closer proximity to the TC in WCARIB, which kept the TC under 20+ KTs of shear. Perhaps the new 00Z Euro came to a similar solution, hence a weaker system. Other than monitoring to see if we get a TC out of 95L, the evolution in modeling between the upper level features in the Caribbean is going to be the focus on any potential ceiling for intensity in the forecast. I do think 95L has an excellent shot of TCG and may become a strong TS, even a low-end hurricane, but I am very apprehensive of the major hurricane solutions that we may again see come and go over the next several days that would have any basis in reality. As has been repeated, the Caribbean in July is generally a graveyard for early MDR TCs for good reason. Climatology more often wins out this early in the season despite the above normal SSTs in place along potential track.

    I’m regarding those recent mogger runs as tales from the Caribbean graveyard 

    until a solid td forms I need to see if it’s tales or not

    I am doubtful

    With no satellite or radar tracking the unknown was the greatest difference. We really never knew how bad it would be until it was on us. A  later 1960 memory, during that active period, was leaving Brooklyn Technical High School during Hurricane Donna ( regular schedule no school cancellation or early dismissal  ) and seeing the long stairs going up into Fort Green Park become a raging river. Today’s detailed Analysis of track and intensity of storms reduce the fear factor compared to then because we really never knew what was coming. I can still hear my mother telling me not to worry because we are only  getting the ‘tail end’ of the hurricane. I was smart enough not to ask her what the hell that meant. 
    As always …..

     

    That sounds rough. It’s great to see how much things have improved for the better technologywise

    Good evening CB. I became interested in my single digits during the early mid 50’s. The Daily News Coloroto Magazine would put out a color centerfold of the US with past hurricane tracks. In the actiive 50’s it was updated yearly.  Most of the wiring was above ground. A candle supply was a necessity during those active seasons. I remember Riding in my father’s 1950 Buick Roadmaster and seeing many of my Brooklyn neighborhood  side streets blocked by downed and crossed trees. I can’t even dream of coming close to the skills of my fellow forum members but I enjoy the spaghetti track graphics and the analysis that TS threads produce. Stay well, as always …

    What would you say has changed then to now regarding the quality and intensity of hurricane landfalls?

    i started tracking in 2009 but I live in Long Island so we don’t have too many guests

    2. Eastern Tropical Atlantic (AL95):
    Satellite images indicate that a tropical wave located several 
    hundred miles southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands has become better 
    organized since yesterday with a more concentrated area of 
    thunderstorms.  Environmental conditions are forecast to be 
    unusually conducive for late June across the central and western 
    tropical Atlantic, and further development of this system is 
    anticipated.  A tropical depression or tropical storm could form 
    this weekend several hundred miles east of the Windward Islands 
    while the system moves westward at 15 to 20 mph.  
    * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...30 percent.
    * Formation chance through 7 days...medium...60 percent.
    

    It’s jova. Is 95L on cyclone HGH?

    95L has been designated.  Possible Caribbean threat next week. 

     

    Euro and ensembles are aggressive moving it into the Caribbean, GFS and ensembles less so, showing weakening.  Post the images and model goodies here.

    I’m going to be skeptical of high end development with SAL and the graveyard lurking, but let’s see if this can organize in the next few days. 

    Ah yes the fluffy cloud reaper in the Caribbean awaits. We shall see
