I think the majority would agree that a category 2 hurricane making landfall in the US is a lot more interesting from a hobbyist standpoint than a category 4 hurricane re curving way out to sea. I mean part of an active season, especially hyperactive is your general September central Atlantic hurricanes. They usually produce a big chunk of ACE and most of the hyperactive years have them. I just enjoy tracking, attempting forecasts and observing the outcomes. Whether they are land threats or not matters little to me. Though I would prefer they avoid populated areas. A big CV hurricane is my favorite even if it threatens nothing but shipping. Aside from Dorian, Lorenzo was an incredible storm to track as well last year. Perhaps we'll get a few beasts over the next month. Over the years some big offshore CV hurricanes have killed more people on the east coast then many would believe. Rip currents caused by the resultant swell are real killers. Some classics like Gabrielle in 89 had double digit deaths. Large battering waves can also cause erosion and beach washovers. Bill in 08 caused a ton of damage at Jones Beach NY where I have been a life guard for 22 years. The East Coast with it’s sandy beaches is very prone to erosion caused by high energy long period swells. I have watched the beach washed clean (all snow fencing destroyed) under sunny sky’s on numerous occasions. Moral of the story, I find the term fish storm annoying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were at Carolina beach near Wilmington back in June. It was a wet week with a ULL to our southwest and we had a long onshore flow. It chewed that beach to pieces and I knew it was gonna be bad of we got a cane. Luckily Iseias wasnt too bad of a storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldub23 Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 The real GFS basically shows nothing considering peak is going to be gone soon. Shows yet another struggling storm. It does give more weight to my idea that if there is another major this season it will recurve well east of bermuda. Atlantic still very hostile but i still think sept 20-oct 10 will have a chance of 2 well formed storms at the same time, then the season comes to an end. Even JB isnt tweeting about the atlantic. Wait, JB just tweeted about 2 threats to the US next week.

CheeselandSkies Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 g0oOFus is proving worthless for predicting Atlantic tropical cyclogenesis >48 hours out this year. Euro hasn't been much better but at least it's trying. Also, GFS actually does show systems.

I think that their accuracy on winter storms has declined as well. Long range forecasting while never great has almost gone totally off the rails. If i had to take a guess I would say that the models are not yet skilled enough to properly handle the pace of global warming. Many of the analogs that are being used are based on a cooler planet overall than we have now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that is a reason. And if they keep naming things like omar who knows how many names, but right now the avg is 3 ace per storm. Ace isnt being exhausted. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s September 4th lol. He’s been talking about an El Niño pattern in the Atlantic when that’s objectively wrong. Complain about the lack of ACE and eye candy until the end of time, but miss me with that foolishness. If you’re going to troll the season, troll it properly please. Oh for sure, he’s a moron.

Prospero Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 A question that is important for GOM coast communities; is there much as far as future models for storms that pop up and become powerful storms that are not waves from Africa? I know here in the Tampa Bay area, we've woken up to TDs that formed overnight just off the coast with a big surprise to many of us. Waves off of Africa are tracked for a long time, but GOM storms are short notice. Right? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waves off of Africa are tracked for a long time, but GOM storms are short notice. Right? Depends. Sometimes models can sniff out general disturbances or lower pressures in a region of the western Caribbean/Gulf. I've also seen invests pop up on the tail of a cold front. I'm not sure if models consider CCKW into their forecasts but I'd be surprised if we do not see an uptick in activity in this area 3rd week of Sept to mid Oct when a CCKW passes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
