All the stronger solutions track further northeast. Although recon found the center pretty far south, it is broad and weak enough that it can still reform.
Euro is ugly
CMC UKMET NAVGEM ICON all like the idea of a Bahamas/FL storm and a west central gulf storm day 6-7, so I'm not totally buying the Euro. I'd actually be a little surprised if the favorable conditions yielded nothing.
97L declared. GFS now shows something heading into the NE Yucatan late week. How strong it gets will depend on how quickly it gets going and how well it avoids land.
Models have been going nuts with 95E which is not supposed to develop for another 30 hrs. If it can stay away from the Mexican coast, there is a good chance this system makes cat 5 given the environment it's in.
I am wondering how Carolina shelf waters are so warm after Isaias. Maybe that's an error or they changed the calculation? There's TCHP along the coast in a lot of other places where there wasn't much before 2020
There some opportunity for a storm in the SE Caribbean next week if something can get going south of the shear and north of the south american coast. Felix was able to do this in a similar pattern but there isn't much room.
I'm never impressed with lots of low quality struggling Tropical Storms. I don't see anything on models in the next 15 days that looks exciting.
Here are some examples of 60 day stretches in the Atlantic that produced at least 4 major hurricanes. I will consider the upcoming hyped "Active Period" in the Atlantic a bust if it can't do it. 7 of the past 25 years have.
AUG-SEPT 1995 4 Major hurricanes
AUG-SEPT 1996 4 Major hurricanes
AUG-SEPT 1999 4 Major Hurricanes
AUG-SEPT 2004 6 Major Hurricanes
SEPT-OCT 2005 4 Major Hurricanes
AUG-SEPT 2010 5 Major Hurricanes
AUG-SEPT 2017 5 Major Hurricanes
50yd path length, That's about the shortest I've ever seen. At the speed it was moving, it died within 5 seconds of coming ashore.
That house got really unlucky.
The 40 days between Aug 20- Oct1 appears to be the main stretch in hurricane season. Almost every active season has had above average ACE in that stretch.
Really can't say much about the season by what happens before then.
Too much. CT Trees are taller and it would be a lot harder to install those because of all the rocks and steep hills.
But probably way cheaper and easier than burying them.
