I'm in government, more on the policy/legal side.
Thanks, you too!
I do a fair amount of public speaking, and yeah, it can be a lot.
Also, congrats @H2O on retirement.
This huge professional thing I've been working on for months is almost at its conclusion and I have no idea how it'll shake out. It can really go either way.
Ok here’s my Elsa chase video. Decent system. I normally wouldn’t have chased but I was already in Georgia so it wasn’t too long a trip.
Can’t wait to hit the road again.
Weird little storm, but then again it’s not everyday you see an early July MDR wave develop and run from the west coast of Florida to New England.
On to the next one.
One thing that I’m not ready to jump on but has my interest is the “super” long range guidance out there showing both a suppressed zone for African waves to roll off and develop, and a upper level pattern that could favor western Atlantic ridging.
Everything I’ve seen short of the SST anomalies (which are important) send a signal for an active season. Whether the steering pattern would allow for another anomalously high landfall year remains to be seen.
Started talking about potential in my group chat on June 22. Obviously there’s a ton that happens between speculation and game time but sometimes these signals are as solid as it gets.
Makes it all the more frustrating that the Euro ensembles are really struggling with TC genesis signals even at very short range. Makes blending much more difficult IMO.
For posterity...on July 4th the Euro had Elsa getting ripped apart off the SE Coast while the GFS had a system going into Florida and up part of the East Coast. Two days later hurricane warnings were issued for the Florida coast. Tropical tracking is not easy.
