This far away from any land impacts, it’s all in good fun to try to figure out which will develop.
I don’t think I’d say 100% won’t develop, but I’m in the camp of it taking another wave or two before the tropical Atlantic opens up. I think the western Atlantic will have had a system or two develop by then.
Hard to buy right now when the tropical Atlantic remains dry and stable. It’ll change, but like I said the other day you may need some sacrificial waves first.
That’s just weenie fodder. Even if the GFS consistently showed that, it’s so far away that you couldn’t consider it a serious signal absent multi-guidance ensemble support.
We’re getting there. Hyperactive looks off the table but solidly above average looks feasible as long as we can get some instability in the tropical MDR.
It’s still disorganized obviously, but that wave in the western Caribbean has held convection together nicely. The only things holding it back are land interaction and some shear to the north.
We’ll see how it looks after the Yucatán, but this is as good a candidate as any for homebrew development. Wherever a center forms would be critical to TC genesis chances and eventual track.
Active look again today on the operational and ensemble guidance, and it’s not stuck at the end of the runs. Growing confidence the lid is primed to come off as early as this weekend starting with the BOC disturbance.
For this kind of forecast that’s all we can do. Zero expectations here, and I’m still leaning toward nothing meaningful outside of far eastern CT, but it’d be nice to watch a quasi-tropical system blossom tonight. Rain tomorrow imby would be a bonus.
well you know how it is. Sometimes they are a little late to the party, especially with stuff near the coast. Each year there’s like at least one that pops under the radar with the NHC. Colin was one about six weeks ago.
Kinda think that October storm was name worthy much earlier too.
I wouldn’t expect the NHC to comment on this one unless it’s making a run at being fully tropical or subtropical. Doesn’t mean it won’t have some characteristics though.
Between the October faux hurricane, blizzard, and drought bullseye for the AEMATT crew, I’m prepared to draft a declaration of secession if they get the coastal too.
We will not go quietly into the night as the damage capital of New England.
