cptcatz Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 With nothing showing on any global models now, it looks like the season may be a wrap. Quite a crazy season. I think the most impressive stat is out of the 13 hurricanes, 10 made landfall at or near maximum intensity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan11295 Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Ultimately the WMO makes the final call on TC naming conventions for the N. Atlantic basin, even though the NHC can suggest changes. That said it is time to serious reconsider the use of Greek names and the lack of ability to formally retire them. Zeta, Eta & (probably) Iota would all normally be fairly strong contenders for retirement, with Delta probably being less likely. I know its unlikely the Greek names would be used very othen, but you wouldn't want the (small) chance you have another Hurricane Eta in a Caribbean in a couple of years.

Thanks for pointing that out. I should’ve taken a few minutes to look at the video before sharing it, but I trusted it was real. Will never understand why people do such dishonest things. After viewing it, it’s obvious it’s a loop of the same footage being run repeatedly. That aside, James captured great video on that Typhoon you mentioned.

CheeselandSkies Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Thankfully, "Marco" turned out to be a big ol' nothingburger (it was supposed to be part of the much-ballyhooed "double trouble" of late August), so the call-and-response can possibly occur again in 2026.

Prospero Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 I've been saying for a few months that we in the Tampa Bay area won't consider ourselves out of the woods until Thanksgiving. Granted Eta was a visitor and I look forward to some time this week to finish cleaning up. But maybe the season is over for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like there is a good chance for "subtropical storm kappa" out in the open Atlantic. NHC currently has 30% odds through 5 days. It would be appropriate if we ended the season on Kappa to "cap off" the hurricane season. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windspeed Posted December 5, 2020 Author Share Posted December 5, 2020 I think last Tuesday's outlook was a wrap on the 2020 season folks! ZCZC MIATWOAT ALL TTAA00 KNHC DDHHMM Special Tropical Weather Outlook NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 955 AM EST Tue Dec 1 2020 For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico: 1. A gale-force, non-tropical low pressure system is centered between the Madeira Islands and the Azores. This system has become less organized during the past 24 hours, and environmental conditions are expected to become less conducive for development as the system moves southwestward during the next day or two. Although subtropical development is now unlikely, this system will continue to produce strong winds and locally heavy rains in the Madeira Islands and the Azores through Wednesday. Additional information on this system can be found in High Seas Forecasts issued by Meteo France. This will be the last Special Tropical Weather Outlook issued on this system. Regularly scheduled Tropical Weather Outlooks will resume on June 1, 2021, while Special Tropical Weather Outlooks will be issued as necessary during the off-season. * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent. * Formation chance through 5 days...low...10 percent.

Windspeed Posted December 5, 2020 Author Share Posted December 5, 2020 Worth pointing out that Central America was hit very hard and we shouldn't forget that. Though Louisiana was certainly beat up this season, the US still has the resources to mitigate and assist our fellow citizens. We shouldn't forget them either. That being said, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua and the SW Caribbean were already struggling. Millions of of people are suffering there economically. Now we have a humanitarian crisis as many localized regions are currently devastated. This was a horrific hurricane season. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prospero Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 "C" has had five, but all but four were before 1960 counting 45 years of storms ("Cuba" 1924 to Camille 1969). "I" and "M" are tied with four each within the last 22 years. Letter "I" had four in 17 years (Isabel in 2003 to Iota in 2020). "M" has had four in 20 years (Mitch in 1998 to Michael in 2018). Basically from the 7th to the 14th storms of the are the ones that become Cat 5s in the last couple decades. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Category_5_Atlantic_hurricanes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't imagine it happens that often.Not going through the entire modern historical record, but it's not frequent. These are the most recent years that the North Atlantic Basin had higher ACE than the NW Pacific Basin.19981999201020172020Interestingly, the two other hyperactive seasons in the Atlantic, 2004 and 2005, got stomped by the WPAC. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
