Ground Scouring Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 I could be wrong, but 2014 may be the first EPAC season on record to have seen three TCs ≥ 130 kt on or before August 25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxtrackercody Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Finally a break in activity as the strongest convectively-suppressed kelvin wave of the season progresses across the basin. Season-to-date ACE is up to 100 units in the EPAC and 25 units in the CPAC; the latter total is the highest seasonal total in at least over a decade (I haven't calculated prior to 2004 yet).

Ground Scouring Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 The first half of September looks to be below average climatologically (for this time of year) in the EPAC. Normally at least two systems form September 1-15. This slower-than-average peak season is quite unusual for such an otherwise-above-average/intense season in other respects.

The EPAC peak is very long. It usually has spurts of inactivity followed by epic stretches of high activity. Even 1992 had this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Srain Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 TROPICAL STORM NORBERT DISCUSSION NUMBER 1NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP142014800 AM PDT TUE SEP 02 2014The area of low pressure located a couple of hundred miles southwestof Manzanillo now has enough organized convection to be considered atropical cyclone. Although moderate northeasterly shear is present,banding features are in the southern semicircle of the cyclone alongwith bursts of convection near the center. The initial wind speedis set to 35 kt in accordance with earlier ASCAT data.Norbert has been moving toward the north-northeast or 020/12.Almost all of the guidance show Norbert turning sharply northwardand west-northwestward within 24 hours due to the cyclone leavingthe ITCZ and becoming steered by a mid-level high over Mexico. TheNHC prediction during this time is on the right side of the guidanceenvelope, mostly because of the initial motion. After that time,there is some uncertainty in the strength of the ridge overnorthwestern Mexico, which causes some spread in the model tracks ofNorbert while it approaches the southern Baja California peninsula.While the NHC forecast is close to the model consensus after 24hours, it would not be surprising to see later forecasts beadjusted a bit to the north at longer range, given model trends.The environment near Norbert seems mostly favorable forstrengthening during the next few days with the cyclone forecastover warm waters with moderate shear. Given this environment, itis a little surprising that none of the more reliable models makesNorbert a hurricane. Since there is some possibility of landinteraction and higher shear, the NHC prediction will be a littleabove the model consensus, but below the highest guidance.FORECAST POSITIONS AND MAX WINDSINIT 02/1500Z 17.5N 106.5W 35 KT 40 MPH12H 03/0000Z 18.6N 107.0W 40 KT 45 MPH24H 03/1200Z 19.3N 108.4W 45 KT 50 MPH36H 04/0000Z 19.6N 109.6W 50 KT 60 MPH48H 04/1200Z 20.1N 110.5W 50 KT 60 MPH72H 05/1200Z 21.8N 112.8W 50 KT 60 MPH96H 06/1200Z 23.0N 115.5W 45 KT 50 MPH120H 07/1200Z 23.5N 117.5W 40 KT 45 MPH$$Forecaster Blake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
