I think if this latest crap becomes Gert, that will tie the old record of seven names storms with no 'cane-- as per tmagan.

Right now, we're tied with 2002 for six.

we're due for a crap hurricane, the nam likes gert still :P

I would even take an Isabel over this crap.

Anyhoo... I'm honestly not concerned. With many seasons, we don't even have one named storm by now. I consider 10 August to be the earnest start of a normal season, and so in my view, the season has just started.

yeah.. looks like we'll finish with a lot of named storms at least. things should change soon.

I just researched overall seasonal stats since 1950 for direct east coast TC hits (N FL northward) for those with July's having a sub -1 NAO (nine seasons...somewhat small sample but not too small to analyze) vs. those which didn't (52 seasons). For those nine seasons that did have a sub -1 July, there were ZERO EC H hits and only one EC TS hit! Compare this to the 21 of 52 non sub -1 July seasons (40%) with at least one direct H hit and the 29 H hits (0.56/season) as well as the 31 seasons with at least a TS hit (60%) and the 47 TS+ hits (0.90/season)!

IF these stats are at all sig., they would tell me that having had a solidly -NAO in July as we had in 2011 seems to have a memory of sorts that tends to limit the hit risk to the east coast (N FL northward) for the entire season regardless of what the NAO does after July. This would be occurring with only a modestly -NAO on avg. in Aug., ~ neutral Sep. on avg., and a small positive in Oct. on avg. Don't shoot the messenger as that is what the stats seem to suggest. Let's see what actually happens.

How do these stats compare for the rest of FL as well as the US GC?

A) GC excluding FL: 8 of the 9 sub -1 NAO July seasons had a GC TS+ hit and 3 of the 9 had a H hit. There were a total of 5 H hits (avg. of 0.56/season) and 14 TS+ hits or 1.56/season.

B) FL excluding NE coast:: 4 of the 9 had a TS+ hit and 2 had a H hit. There were a total of 3 H hits (avg. of 0.33/season) and 7 TS+ hits or 0.78/season.

Monthly NAO's:

Despite this, I'm still predicting five MDR storms and one of them to hit the U.S. At this point, I have to favor either FL or the GC for the hit based on this latest analysis.

That recurving storm on the 0Z Euro is from something that follows 93L, not 93L, itself. This setup of a trough near the east coast would be conducive for that Euro modeled storm to stay well east of the U.S. east coast as there'd be nothing to steer it much further west than the 240 hour position.

Going back to 1851 in the Atlantic Basin, there have been only six instances of six TS's in a row (intraseasonal or interseasonal) (counting STS's as TS's...otherwise, there'd be only five instances):

1) 1900-01: last four of 1900 and first two of 1901; strongest 60 knots

2) 1942: six during the midst of the season; strongest 50 knots

3) 2000-01: last two of 2000, including a STS, and first four of 2001; strongest 60 knots

4) 2002: first six; strongest 55 knots

5) 2005-6: last one in 2005 and first five in 2006; strongest 60 knots

6) 2011: first six; strongest 55 knots

Note the four instances just since 2000!

So, if the next named Atlantic storm were to max out as either a TS or a STS, it would be the first time since at least 1851 for seven consecutive TC's in the Atlantic basin to max out as either a TS or a STS. This includes streaks in the middle of a season as well as interseasonal streaks.
