Like @NorthHillsWxstated, it’s going to take a little more time in the MDR, but we’re starting to see signals on the ensembles that aren’t the classic “perpetually ten days away” type pattern. SAL is on the decline in the basin (though still rough to be sure) and we’re entering the peak with a CCKW/MJO tailwind.
I’m still wary of another false start signal, but if the basin can’t start popping some appetizers in the next ten days and at least one entree by the end of the month, that’d be bad for those like me that expect a solidly above average NS and ACE season.
