10 named storms.  Not hyperactive, but majors and a significant US landfall, this isn't 1983.  May go up from 10, some GEFS like a late season MDR storm, and who knows what mid-latitude low in the subtropics might catch a name.

I'm still not sure we are finished yet. I think a late October or November major hurricane is still possible.

You know how they say it only takes one for a memorable / destructive season?

 

Looks like we found our one. Fiona is a retirement guarantee

 

 Make that two now, Fiona and Ian.

Yeah September is looking pretty dead but you still can't rule out one or two October western Caribbean monsters ala Michael/Wilma/Matthew/Sandy.

Looks like the season is winding down. Not looking like a backloaded season. I think we can officially call it a forecast bust. 

 The hyperactive forecasts, including all of the seasonal CSUs, will be huge busts although we've pretty much known that for awhile. But your September 7th post about September quoted above is also a huge bust as September ended up quite active as well as above the 30 year average thanks to one of the most active Sept 14-30 periods on record. That shows that models had only about a one week reliable window that day. 

 Looking ahead, the model consensus admittedly doesn't show much and the season could easily per climo even in a La Nina have little left this late with mainly quiet models, especially as regards the CONUS with the projected autumn pattern for the E US. However, as noted above, models can't look out that far reliably. Just one week after you posted on September 7th, it got active again and didn't let up for over 2 weeks.

 Looking beyond the reliable period for models, 10+ days out or October 19th+ for TC genesis, and considering just the period since 1995, nearly half the seasons still had significant land impacts in the western basin not yet forecastable as of today's date:

- 2020: MHs Zeta, Eta, and Iota

- 2016: MH Otto

- 2012: MH Sandy

- 2010: H Tomas

- 2009: H Ida

- 2008: MH Paloma

- 2007: H Noel

- 2005: MH Beta

- 2001: MH Michelle

- 1999: MH Lenny

- 1998: MH Mitch

 Of these: 2020, 16, 10, 08, 07, 05, 99, and 98 were during oncoming or current La Nina. That's 8 of these seasons out of a total of 12 of these since 1995. So, 2/3 of these seasons. 

 So, imo, based on the above, we have at the very least a 50% shot at one more impactful H in the western basin.

Edit: If we were in El Niño, I'd likely be predicting no more impactful canes because only 1 of 8 since 1995 had another impactful cane from an Oct 19+ genesis.

If we can avoid a freeze this year I'll have bananas in the back yard next Summer.  Roots are hardy,  even a hard frost kills the leaves back, and it takes over a year to start bunching.

 

This has nothing to do with hurricane season, but it is over in Texas, and banana and citrus killing weather comes next.

With Ian's Category 4 landfall, this makes 7 Category 4 or 5 US landfalls in these most recent 6 seasons. This is unprecedented since records have been kept. The previous most Category 4 or 5 US landfalls within 6 seasons was 5 from 1945-1950. All of them hit Florida, and all of them were 115 kt landfalls (the minimum threshold for Category 4).

This makes the intensity of this collection of 7 landfalls stand out even more as extreme:

2017- Harvey, 115 kt

2017- Irma, 115 kt

2017- Maria, 135 kt

2018- Michael, 140 kt

2020- Laura, 130 kt

2021- Ida, 130 kt

2022- Ian, 130 kt (prelim, although I wouldn't expect this to drop under Cat 4 in post analysis)

Julia has killed at least 60 people, I wonder if that makes it three. Not bad for another 2013 :rollseyes:

May get a number before being sheared apart.  But it did pop up on a single day's notice.

 There have been 13 seasons since 1995 that are like 2022 with either a current or oncoming La Niña. Out of these 13, only two (1995 and 2000) didn't have at least one more TC with genesis Oct 22+ for which there were significant land effects in the western basin. Oct 22 is still 11 days out, well beyond a reliable period for models. So, though far from a guarantee, the betting odds pretty heavily favor one more system in 2022 that we're currently totally unaware of that will generate a good amount of discussion within tropical wx forums in late October and/or November. For 2021, I counted the precursor to Wanda, which was Invest 94L from the start and resulted in a powerful nor'easter in the NE US:

 

 This idea about the likelihood of one more impactful system is not counting the current SW Gulf Invest 93L should it happen to have significant impact.

Maybe try to push up the South Mexican coast until tomorrow night's Texas cold front drives it back South end of the week.  Looking at 12Z op 250 mb winds, nothing survives in the Northern Gulf very long anyway.  For personal reasons, I hope it isn't named.

I’ve been fooled before without recon confirmation, but on visible, this looks like a TC.

 The 12Z UKMET does nothing tropically with this, but it does have a well organized surface low that moves very slowly north til Thursday followed by a stall and subsequent drift south into MX Saturday. Here is a 12Z UKMET late morning Thursday radar depiction, which actually shows a well organized system, which makes me feel surprised that run didn't call it a TC:

 For the record, the 0Z UKMET had TCG at hour 36 and then moved slowly NE followed by a curve SE toward just off the NW tip of the Yucatan where it dissipated:

Do we need a separate thread for Karl?

 

Tropical Storm Karl Discussion Number 1
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL142022
400 PM CDT Tue Oct 11 2022

Tropical Storm Karl has formed over the Bay of Campeche. Aircraft
and scatterometer data show a closed circulation with a relatively
large radius of maximum winds and a broad area of light and variable
winds near the center. The Air Force Hurricane Hunter
reconnaissance aircraft found believable SFMR wind speeds of 35 kt
and flight-level winds up to 46 kt while investigating the system.
The scatterometer data also showed a large area of 30-35 kt winds to
the north of the center. The initial intensity is set to 35 kt
based on these data.

Karl is moving slowly northwestward at an estimated 5 kt. The storm
is embedded in a high pressure system, and this motion is expected
to continue for the next day or so. Thereafter, the ridge is likely
to build westward and steer the cyclone southwestward into the coast
of Mexico in a few days. The official forecast is close to the
consensus guidance, though this is an uncertain forecast due to the
spread in the forecast track models near landfall.

Atmospheric and oceanic conditions are forecast to be conducive for
Karl during the next day or so. This should allow Karl to
strengthen before global models suggest the vertical wind shear
increases and causes gradual weakening before landfall. Rapid decay
is expected once the storm moves inland due to the mountainous
terrain. The NHC intensity forecast peaks at 45 kt in 24 h which is
close to the SHIPS guidance, though all of guidance is clustered
near this value.

Key Messages:

1. Heavy rainfall could produce flash flooding in the Isthmus of
Tehuantepec and in the southern Sierra Madre Oriental mountains and
adjacent coastal areas with possible mudslides in areas of higher
terrain.

2. Tropical storm conditions are possible in the watch area in
Mexico starting Thursday.
