2020 Atlantic Hurricane Season

Recommended Posts

In addition to the 5 active areas in the atlantic right now(Paulette, Rene, TD 19, 95L in the central Atlantic and the recently added 97L in the far eastern Atlantic) there are a few more areas to keep an eye on.

1.  A spin in the Gulf of Mexico S of New Orleans:  This area is highlighted by the NHC and it will slowly move SW in the Gulf over the next few days.

2.  An area of convection in the SW Gulf of Mexico:  not much of anything at the surface but convection has been festering E of Veracruz for at least the past day now.

3.  The Euro Ensembles are fairly consistent with a low latitude wave moving off of the Africa coast in the next couple days.

4.  Any spinups along the ITCZ, especially just east of the Leeward Islands though this is much more of a long shot.

And if that wasn't enough, the Euro Ensembles are already showing at least another wave or 2 moving off of Africa after this weekend.

If I may ask a rookie question...why do they skip over the letter Q? Because there aren't as many Q names? (same question for X, Y, and Z?)

Yes. You'd have to come up with three male Q names for the Atlantic, three female Q names for the Atlantic. Then another three male Q names for the Eastern Pacific, then another three female Q names for the Pacific.

I guess you could alternate like the Eastern Pacific does with Xina, Xavier, Zeke, Zelda, Yolanda and York every two years...but who knows.

I gotcha--thanks! Welp, now that we're about to head into Greek territory, may as well call the Atlantic the frat/sorority house and be done with it, lol

Something could develop off the SE coast next week under the large high in the northeast. 

Models hinting that could become a coastal storm or subtropical storm as it moves north. 

I was just about to talk about this . Models are starting to show homebrew storms.

An update on future risks now that we have Vicki)

1. The area of disturbed weather in the SW Gulf of Mexico has gotten more convectively active.  Euro ensembles more bullish on this system as it meanders through the southern Gulf over the next week.

2.  The latest wave to come off Africa looks fairly robust and slow development should occur as it moves across the Atlantic at a fairly low latitude.

3.  Have to watch the area off the SE coast for tail end development from the cold front that will kick Sally out.  Relative model consensus on an area of low pressure developing and this is a climatologically favored area.

4.  Another wave will be coming off Africa later this week, though this one looks to be at a higher latitude so not sure how much potential for development there will be.

5.  Very long range (post 9/21) but there is a chance for something out of the CAG off the coast of Nicaragua/Honduras.

Just a few questions for the experts: how will Teddy interact with Rene? Will Sally eventually run into Vicky, or will Vicky take a hike? Or will Vicky try to hookup with Teddy? Is Paulette jealous of all the attention Sally is getting? Would Paulette eventually interact with Teddy at some point? I just can't keep it all straight!

This is like when I walked in on the theater kids having an orgy. Awkward and not that compelling.
