This season has been absolutely bonkers. All the major hurricanes is just unreal counting each one. 4 more names and we run out. I'm thinking we won't exhaust the list but it could get close.

Only thing I'll say on this whole topic since I only just now saw all these CC posts but half your posts are always about how 'erm actually the science is wrong' in most of your posts lol Also you say you'll take everything over to the Climate Change thread and then right after that just continue to respond in a passive aggressive manner about it and telling people how they're wrong and you're right. It's just always been bizarre to me that just because Chester County hasn't really warmed all that much that that means the rest of the world hasn't either. It's classic not IMBY. If it's not happening to me it's not happening to anyone else. I don't live that far from you I fucking wish it hasn't gotten as hot as it has here over the decades. But it is always fascinating to watch people jump through endless hoops in their head about how something that's real isn't actually real. I used to be a staunch climate change denier when I was a teenager but then I grew up and educated myself as well as just casually comparing how life was locally when I was a kid in the 90's/2000's compared to how it is now in the 2020's. Just my local observations were what convinced me eventually. I wish it was like how it was 30 years ago but it's not anymore. Anyway not speaking about this topic anymore but I feel like I'm a bit more vested in chiming in about it since I've been on both sides of the argument in my life where as most people have only picked one and stuck with it. I'd say I don't lean to one extreme or the other like some. I try and keep my views on the whole subject level headed and free of fearmongering and sensationalism. But when you see people on both sides argue this subject you really start to realize just how little either side understands it as a whole despite them claiming they do. Okay too much rambling that's enough of this dumb shit lol

This rain shield is fucking massive

Yeah Isaias honestly has me a bit concerned for the gulf states. I could see this potentially becoming a cat 3 before landfall but weakening should start occurring right before landfall though it's hard to know for certain. Still funny it looked like we were going to go all season without a hurricane and then this thing pops up and finds the perfect environment to form like this. But that's how it goes sometimes even in very quiet hostile seasons. Another thing too is the intensity forecast is still the weakest part of the NHC's expertise. It's funny how many storms I've seen just blast through the intensity they'd originally forecast. Or sometimes they just fall apart when they weren't forecast to. That's why I hate making intensity forecasts lol

Maybe we'll break our hurricane drought with this system

I have to remind myself that we still haven't had a single hurricane form even after we broke the record on September 11th. It's October 2nd now and no hurricanes in sight. Absolutely unbelievable to still be seeing this. We really might get through this entire season without a single cane.

This record breaking super el nino is definitely going to throw a wrench into forecasts I think but I am thinking it'll be AN as well for most of the winter. Still though all it takes is the perfect setup at the right time to completely smash us like what happened in January 2016 following the last super el nino. But I do wonder just how lucky we got with that storm since it basically didn't snow the rest of the winter besides that one storm.

I guess summer has one last hurrah on Thursday/Friday. Then after that we might have a night that gets into the 30's on Tuesday

8 named storms looks good on paper until you look at how abysmal the ACE is

I guess all the energy absent from the Atlantic has to go somewhere https://x.com/JaydonShawwx/status/2103657217673384075

Here's a great post from the Atlantic Hurricane Season thread about the current nor'easter. Post is 19 hours old now but still. Oh another thing too the center of the storm had convection firing around the center and some lightning earlier. Very interesting.

Stole this from the NYC thread but figured some might appreciate it here

This nor'easter sure is looking just a little tad subtropical imo

It's so weird how strong this noreaster is for September. It's so windy out it feels like it's another month and not September. I was also reading that the record breaking super el nino is slightly related to why we got a noreaster this strong this early in the season which is interesting but not surprising.

The CPAC gets a separate name list and *normally* strong hurricanes do not effect Hawaii or any land in that part of the ocean. I guess it's just a very bad coincidence we had a year where both lists had 2 similar names that just so happened to occur at the same exact time and also effect two landmasses at the same time as well
