Fantastic writeup. I should note, I don't remember such awful humidity for such a long period of time prior to last weeks outbreak. No doubt that added fuel to the fire.

I cannot believe this was such a historic event for NE Ohio. Governor DeWine has declared a state of emergency for the affected counties. What the heck made this so historically intense as a system? It was literally just a front and thunderstorms. Good grief.

Hmm that is a west trend. I was more confident about out to sea yesterday, but it is just too early until we have a system well developed.

Some are still without power! Crazy storm! Thankfully the humidity is a fraction of what it was two days ago.

That would be one heck of a beast for the Turks and Caicos.

I was terrified of winds and power outages with that line that pushed down across Summit County, but it never really rained here, despite us being underneath a red blob on radar. Very strange.

I am a bit relieved so far as we don't seem to be seeing Allison or Harvey type flooding, but still a threat.

Thankfully that one seems to be weakening a bit, but the one offshore the lake looks nasty for areas east like Mentor.

Good lord. It doesn't move for 72 hrs.

This is a run of the mill Cat 1 impact for Florida, but the rain could make Debby memorable in the the Southeast. Here is a morning landfall video update on the storm.

This is a run of the mill August Cat 1 Florida hurricane. As American as apple pie. However, that slowdown could be a really historic flood risk. Awful for areas to be impacted.

Hopefully it doesn't. Honestly, I'm just not feeling this one. But the rainfall will be prolific for sure.

Well the system near Cuba will be interacting with land. The wave in the Central Atlantic could have carte blanche to strengthen through the Caribbean and into the Gulf of Mexico, eventually.

For the threat of a more serious hurricane event, I would be more concerned with the wave in the Central Atlantic.

The NHC must really be seeing this thing flaring as it nears the Greater Antilles.

Well, most active season or hyperactive like this year is likely to be, have a significant hurricane threat around August 28th or so. August 28, 2004 - Hurricane Frances becomes a Category 4 hurricane in the Central Atlantic headed west towards land August 28, 2005 - Hurricane Katrina a Category 5 hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico headed for New Orleans area August 28, 2008 - Hurricane Gustav organizing in the Caribbean, to become a Category 4 storm before striking Cuba August 28, 2012 - Hurricane Isaac lashing the Gulf Coast August 28, 2017 - Hurricane Harvey flooding Texas after striking as a Category 4, Hurricane Irma forming in Eastern Atlantic August 28, 2019 - Hurricane Dorian organizing north of Greater Antilles, headed towards Bahamas August 28, 2020 - Hurricane Laura moving inland after striking Gulf Coast as a Category 4 hurricane August 28, 2021 - Hurricane Ida strengthening into a Category 4 hurricane before Gulf Coast landfall August 28, 2023 - Hurricane Idalia organizing south of Cuba, eventually to be Category 3 hurricane for Western Florida Last year, I took note of when we were approaching August 20th or so and I thought "I bet we get something notable the next ten days" and sure enough, we got Hurricane Idalia.

One month from today I am guessing we will have a major hurricane threat for landmasses in the Western Atlantic.
