Not that many people care, but I think Eugene has the potential to get significantly more intense than the current NHC forecast. Its been exhibiting some nice banding features and it seems that the convection is trying to wrap up around the center. It also has plenty of time over warm waters (72 hours or so)

Eugene is now a hurricane... the NHC forecast discussion continues to mention moderate shear, but I'm just not seeing it currently with a pretty well defined anticyclone situated right on top of the circulation. There is a distinct possibility Eugene could become a third major hurricane of this year's EPAC season, although that will probably require rapid intensification before it reaches cooler waters in the next 48 hours.

I find Muifa, which should pass close enough to put an eyewall on Naha and Kadena AFB (I hope we get obs, and U-Tube) a more interesting storm, but the West Pac doesn't seem to get the love it deserves.

I need a Linda or a Mexico threat to get too excited about storms destined to wind down over cold water into low cloud swirls 2 days after having been majors.

The year of the quasi annulars in the EPAC... good upper level setups and lower SSTAs I suppose.

Normally it seems like we see annulars further out into the pacific, headed towards the CPAC. This year's quasis have been closer to MX it seems.

I just checked Maue's page...they're up to almost 45 ACE now. No long trackers are really ruining some of the potential, though.

This likely is due to the negative SSTA across a large part of the East Pacific around 20N.
