Tracking the tropics - 2025

In my opinion the GEFS/EPS are telling us that too much latitude early on will not be the issue for a potential track close to New England. We have pretty solid agreement on that within 10 days.

What is a much bigger issue is the strength of the western Atlantic ridge after day 10. This critical piece is seeing huge run to run variation, so tons of uncertainty there…

Imo this will be a long and fun one to track at least.

Best way is getting cyclogensis off a stalled front of SE coast, with troughing scooping it up the coast. Every year I see models try to squeeze a landfall between ridging and it never works out. Too thread the needle

Problem is the same stalled front is also the kicker.

In my mind, the simplest setup is a tropical wave developing closer to the Antilles, getting pushed into hugging the Bahamas or moving just NE of there by a ridge, and getting captured. 

Again, CVs are exceptionally tricky. That's a lot of expanse to cross without getting recurved.

It's easy to forget, but 1938 had a "high latitude" track...but ended up near the Bahamas. 90% of this subforum would be cancelling looking at how far north of the islands that track is.

@Quincy wrote about this years ago and it's still just as useful.
