Global ACE has been below average for awhile now... probably something to do with the PDO switch (and potentially global warming).

 

Yes

 

You're attributing the lull to climate change?  Seems like a rather bold correlation to draw.  Despite the unbelievable crappiness of this year, I think it's a bit much to attribute what's basically a pinprick in the grand scheme to such a large-scale evolutionary process.

And here I thought global warming contributed to increased frequency and intensity of hurricanes. *shrug*

Well, I have absolutely no opinion on this-- but if folks are going to dip a toe in there, I feel it should be qualified somehow, and not just a drive-by comment.

 

I would be absolutely intrigued to see how global warming decreases the frequency of hurricanes. It's not something I've heard of either before and I would be fascinated by a full explanation. A lot of great minds on here...

Oh, I've heard arguments both ways.  But either way, I don't think a season or two demonstrates a connection that can be meaningfully discussed. These are really long-term, slow processes.

Posting the GGEM is equivalent of posting spam. It overdoes everything. It's Op run is not supported by its Ensembles either. Same for the Euro Ensembles vs its Op run.

I agree that the op. CMC is pretty bad and usually overdoes things. However, don't forget that it did best with Gabrielle. I know that's not saying too much since the gfs and Euro had essentially nothing, but I'm just saying it has found the nut on occasion.

0z GGEM shows something along the east coast

Euro has 1000 mb low making landfall just S of NYC in New Jersey at 156 hours...  At 120 hours, Euro has small area of hurricane force sustained 10 meter winds North of the low, but, sadly, weakens it through landfall.  Gale to storm force winds on immediate coast at hour 144.  Part of Long Island would still ahve 40-45 knot onshore winds at Hour 156 at system landfalls.

 

Amazing if NYC area gets 3 TCs/ sub-TCs in 3 years, and Florida goes eight years w/o a hurricane.

 

Everyone wants a tight core Florida major, but failing that, a New Jersey sub-tropical storm (and I believe it it did achieve hurricane force winds there is no such term as a sub-tropical hurricane) with TS conditions on the Long Island and New Jersey coast would be a decent consolation prize.

 

 

 

Edit to Add:

 

 

No Joe Bastardi tweets yet.  Many false positives, but rarely does a system develop w/o a JB tweet.

Sandy.

 

Sandy Sandy Sandy. It seems everytime a storm shows up on a model over the past year whether its a noreaster, blizzard or tropical system, people automatically want to compare the situation to Sandy no matter how different it is. Its annoying and bothersome for those of us that actually lived through Sandy and its after effects ( and not from the sidelines like most of you).

Sunny did not compare it to Sandy, only pointed out where GGEM did a reasonable job.

Anyone hoping for this again for us needs their head examined. Sorry.

 

I was born in Flushing, grew up in Massapequa, missed 5 days of school in the 1978 Blizzard, saw cable TV for the first time when we evac'd for Belle, and missed Gloria in the Navy.

 

I have found out, the house corner of Curlew and Leewater in Nassau Shores I grew up in, it did flood in Sandy, but was repaired, on the market, asking half of million, which is double what a house of similar square footage would sell for in Houston.

 

 

BTW, I could root for 1938 to happen next week, but I have remarkably little ability to actually control the weather.  Houston wouldn't have had a drought this Summer if my wishes came true...

I'm not surprised that the op GFS is not picking up on anything yet. The GFS still had Sandy backing into Cape Cod while the rest of the guidance envelop was into NJ and the Delmarva.

 

Look at the amazing support from the 06z GEFS for a strong low pressure system near NYC next Sunday.

Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning...
