Positive sign, winds ahead of the trailing wave are from the South ahead of it, that may eventually weaken its vorticity and allow 97L to become dominant.


 


New GFS, 97L is weakened but survives crossing Hispaniola, which would be good, but a new vortex forms to the Northeast (I guess from the following wave) and heads off to fish while 97L dwindles over the Bahamas.

Nah it hasn't anything to do with climate change. I stay out of these discussions too. I want to share the research that may give small** suggestions why we are seeing global TC activity lower than average.. but I know my job wouldn't be happy with me :( There are hypotheses floating around out there though that focus on strat-interactions.

 

OK, just tell me this is all cyclical, and that the NATL is going to resume making big, intense hurricanes at some point.  I'm seriously starting to wonder.  It's been years since we've seen really good systems-- not since 2008, really.

 

Or the pre-satellite record of NO hurricanes from both 1907 and 1914.   :violin:

 

Oops!  I didn't even realize that.  OK, so the 1905 record is pretty irrelevant, then.  Thanks for setting me straight!

 

How much dust is there left to blow off that continent.. shouldn't it just be rock by now. lol

 

Lolz, totally.

 

That is before the last time the Cubs won the Series, so the lists below show just some of the things which have happened in that time.  I

Another list from a few years ago (it is a bit baseball focused due to the original reason for it)

Things are definitely looking a bit more interesting even if things may still be slow going.

 

Ha ha ha, cool list.  Puts it all in historic perspective.   :D

TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
200 PM EDT WED SEP 4 2013

FOR THE NORTH ATLANTIC...CARIBBEAN SEA AND THE GULF OF MEXICO...

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ASSOCIATED WITH A BROAD AREA OF LOW
PRESSURE CENTERED ABOUT 150 MILES SOUTHEAST OF SAN JUAN PUERTO RICO
HAVE BECOME A LITTLE BETTER ORGANIZED THIS AFTERNOON. HOWEVER...
SURFACE AND SATELLITE DATA SUGGEST THIS SYSTEM STILL LACKS A
WELL-DEFINED CENTER. IN ADDITION...ANOTHER AREA OF DISTURBED
WEATHER JUST NORTHEAST OF THE LEEWARD ISLANDS IS EXPECTED TO MERGE
WITH THIS LOW OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS.
ENVIRONMENTAL
CONDITIONS OTHERWISE APPEAR TO BE FAVORABLE FOR ADDITIONAL
DEVELOPMENT BEFORE THE SYSTEM INTERACTS WITH HISPANIOLA AND PUERTO
RICO. THIS SYSTEM HAS A MEDIUM CHANCE...50 PERCENT...OF BECOMING A
TROPICAL CYCLONE DURING THE NEXT 48 HOURS AS IT MOVES NORTHWESTWARD
AT ABOUT 10 MPH...AND A HIGH CHANCE...60 PERCENT...OF BECOMING A
TROPICAL CYCLONE DURING THE NEXT 5 DAYS. LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL
AND GUSTY WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO SPREAD OVER PORTIONS OF THE LEEWARD
ISLANDS...THE VIRGIN ISLANDS...PUERTO RICO...AND HISPANIOLA DURING
THE NEXT DAY OR TWO. A RECONNAISSANCE PLANE IS CURRENTLY
INVESTIGATING THIS SYSTEM.

 

No cherrification at 2 pm.  Lolz, this system is full o' fail.

 

I think you need a break from this thread  :P

IMBY watch, GFS shows a wave with decent moisture, subtle at 850 mb but obvious at 700 mb and 500 mb in a week in the Gulf/BoC.  If anything develops, 500 mb patterns suggests Northern Mexico.  Convectively active, but little sign of a surface reflection.  But decent tropical waves in early September in an area where fishing is not allowed, worth watching,  Lot of 1008 mb and below pressures on the GEFS, but no closed lows.

 

I think 97L disappoints, but 12Z GEFS does have one perturbation with a sub 996 mb Hatteras hurricane a week from Thursday

Recon is not complete yet, there were some decent north winds and very light west winds. Obviously poorly defined but has potential.

Just between us, even with a 3 knot West wind, ballpark 1010 mb pressure and 15 or 20 knot top winds probably won't get 97L upgraded.  Still early though.

 

Satellite imagery had me thinking they'd find a 30 knot depression down around 1005 mb or so.  Which is why I am not employed by any of the satellite Dvorak interpretation centers.

At least we have the fat fish to look forward to! 

 

:axe:

 

 A TROPICAL WAVE OVER AFRICA IS EXPECTED TO MOVE OVER THE FAR EASTERN

ATLANTIC OCEAN IN A FEW DAYS. SOME DEVELOPMENT OF THIS SYSTEM IS
POSSIBLE OVER THE WEEKEND. THIS SYSTEM HAS A LOW CHANCE...NEAR 0
PERCENT...OF BECOMING A TROPICAL CYCLONE DURING THE NEXT 48
HOURS...AND A LOW CHANCE...20 PERCENT...OF BECOMING A TROPICAL
CYCLONE DURING THE NEXT 5 DAYS

I hope not, 12Z on 12 September is way too close to 5 pm EDT September 11th when Gustav got upgraded, and if we're going to have a dead season, lets make it memorable.
