I’m still deeply skeptical of anything coming out of the western Caribbean. GFS and its ensembles are on an island right now—doesn’t mean it can’t score a coup but it just seems TC genesis happy there, which is a known bias.
Summer of bore continues as we spend this mid-June afternoon writing about PG rated tropical fantasies and what could have been in a winter that passed thirteen years ago.
What a time to be alive.
Quite early. Operational guidance has gotten more aggressive with TC genesis in the MDR but the signal has been there for a while.
Not sure about the environment in the western Atlantic in 7-10 days though allowing for something tangible to survive with a TUTT lurking.
It’s historically warm across much of the basin. Just outrageous anomalies.
Weak sauce here. A little surprised I didn’t capture more lightning given how active the cells to the west were. I’m pretty annoyed at how boring it has been, but it is what it is.
On cue, the operational guidance is starting to respond to what should become an increasingly favorable environment in the MDR in the last 1/3 of June. Still a bit early, but my interest has increased a little.
I have low standards generally when it comes to severe around here. If I can get a few good lightning captures, I’d call that a win. The backed winds piece is interesting to me.
I like seeing the stuff popping to the west but I’m gonna TFizz this one and say I’m bearish on the setup. Would have liked to see more instability before initialization.
It was a fantastic day. The problem with work from home is I work so much I don’t leave the house during the day.
Got an easy mow in this evening though.
Just started working out the last few months, after being really ill in the months before. I’m a new man.
Evenings during the week to decompress after work. Mornings on weekend to start my day.
Now that’s really interesting. If it continues on, that may allow for some greater instability to build out in the eastern MDR—something that has been a struggle in recent years.
