bluewave Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 The late season increase in instability associated with the SST rise helped boost the ACE out of the basement. It's interesting that it took one of the greatest AMO increases that we have seen from June to September. 2014 -0.041 -0.022 -0.060 -0.073 0.019 0.083 0.242 0.356 0.331 http://www.wunderground.com/hurricane/accumulated_cyclone_energy.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmagan Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Impressive features of the tropical cyclone season: 1) Landfalling tropical cyclone on the Big Island of Hawaii approaching from the east. 2) Two landfalling tropical cyclones within one week on the island of Bermuda. 3) Landfalling major hurricane over Cabo San Lucas.

Srain Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 The 00Z Ensembles are fairly good agreement of developing a sub/extratropical low in the Bay of Campeche the week. The remnants at the mid/upper levels associated with EPAC former TS Trudy as well as an approaching 5H low in Arizona/Northern Mexico should allow for lowering pressures across the BoC and Southern Gulf where a stalled frontal boundary is draped. High wind sheer across the Northern Gulf should keep any real development in check, but provide S Florida and the Keys with some heavy rainfall into next weekend. Bad timing for the beginning of Fantasy Fest in Key West next weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kory Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Euro is still very aggressive in showing something subtropical. With building heights across the north central U.S. and a trough getting stuck underneath it, it should catch your eye. Moisture will be getting drawn up into the Bay of Campeche area over the next several days and lowering pressures occurring with a trough of low pressure moving into the Western Gulf. The Euro interacts it with a ULL in the Central Gulf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad timing for the beginning of Fantasy Fest in Key West next weekend. Was there for it last year - what a great time, and we were fortunate enough to have great weather too. Seems like just as often as not though, some sort of slopgyre or something is brewing in late Oct close enough to the Keys to, at the very least, throw some gusty showers their way.

MarkSC Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 All of the 12Z models now ramp up 93L pretty significantly. I believe GFS is alone in showing a split system, but all models have the main energy moving to the Caribbean and then tracking towards FL. This should be an interesting one to watch. Edit: 12Z CMC also shows a second low developing off of the east coast front but preserves 93L as the main feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil882 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 It also should be noted that the MJO is in a significant amplitude RMM phase 1, which tends to be a favorable phase for Central American gyre (CAG) development. Combine that with antecedent vorticity provided by TC Trudy and a favorable climatological state (CAGs are more favorable in Sep-Nov), and Its not surprising to see the models latch on to a gyre solution. Note that even as the vorticity maxima organizes over the Bay of Campeche, there is plenty of background cyclonic vorticity stretching across Mexico into the EPAC. Extensive anomalous westerly flow in the EPAC is a synoptic characteristic of these CAG events. The big question is whether or not it can become something more. My research focal points looks at these features, and a decent chunk of them go on to become tropical cyclones (~33 percent). However, that percentage goes down quite significantly when an upper tropospheric trough is involved, which ramps up the vertical wind shear over the low-level circulation. If the upper-level trough forecasted to impact the gyre-like circulation can stay poleward, this system probably has a better chance to organize further as a tropical cyclone. Some good examples of CAGs that went on to become significant tropical cyclones during this time of year.... Opal (1995), Roxanne (1995), Michelle (2001), Wilma (2005) just to name a few. It may be a slopgyre for now, but slopgyres can develop into pretty robust TCs if given the right environment and enough time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike.Ventrice Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 The Atlantic is in a favorable intraseasonal state thanks to a western hemispheric MJO passage. ECMWF ensembles are now highlighting a strong suppressed Kelvin wave passage during the late 7-14 day period. These next two weeks could be the final hoorah of the 2014 Atlantic Hurricane Season in light of another upcoming intraseasonal shift in the tropics.

Superstorm93 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 NHC made the right call on this one. Pressures are down to 1000mb with winds near 34 knots, but there is nowhere near enough convective organization to classify the system as a cyclone. An Air Force Reserve reconnaissance aircraft did find a small well-defined low in the southern Bay of Campeche. However, thethunderstorms associated with the low are still not organized enoughfor this system to be considered a tropical cyclone. Upper-levelwinds could become more conducive for further development bytomorrow, and this system has the potential to become a tropicalcyclone before it moves inland over the Mexican state of Campechelate Wednesday or early Thursday. Later in the week, tropicalcyclone formation appears unlikely due to interaction witha cold front while the system is over the northwestern CaribbeanSea. Interests in Campeche and elsewhere in the Yucatan Peninsulashould monitor the progress of this system as tropical stormwarnings could need to be issued with short notice.* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...50 percent.* Formation chance through 5 days...medium...50 percent.

phil882 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 If I was a betting man, I'd say 93L has a > 50% chance to be declared a TC prior to landfall in the Yucatan. I'd also say its likely to have a second life in the Caribbean, as the GFS suggests (the ECMWF showed a similar solution at 00z, but the 12z run shows the remnant low-level vorticity staying too far poleward for redevelopment due to high vertical wind shear).
