The trend on the GFS at least has been for a stronger low to develop off the coast.

Despite the currently low development odds by the NHC, I think this one has a good shot of becoming a subtropical storm Friday or Saturday. Euro is much more strung out, and we’ll see if that trends toward the GFS given the convection off the SE coast.

Anything that develops will probably be messy, especially if it’s subtropical, but any organization enhances the rain risk and coastal wind potential.

If it was January with that low track of the GFS for Saturday...there would be some large Bob Chill emojis and the words DC crushed and anihilated would be needed

I am not so sure about that all the warm air would come right on up into the area most likely would be a warm wet El Nino soaker with plenty of wind out of the East and east southeast.

I’m thinking the same. It would be better with a wave diving SE from the pna ridge and track NEward with a core cold air just to the north. Not an omega block like this

Another one. Unclear if this gets to H status, but that’d be nice lol. The slowdown should be here, so Philippe may be it until October unless the lemon develops.

The lemon developed. Unclear what the next opportunity for TC genesis is but I think this is probably it for MDR systems. Once Philippe and Rina separate, one of them may thrive for a bit.

13 NS since Aug 20 is a record.

How many years have you been doing these now? Damn impressive this year. I thought we were going to blow through your numbers a couple weeks ago but the slowdown does seem imminent.

This is year 5. By far my best. I just need one of these to separate and become one a cane lol.

Seriously, though, this is one of those instances where it feels like someone controls the weather, not predicts it. I mean that in the best way possible. Just wow.

We have Tammy. Chance this becomes a hurricane as the forecast period wraps up.

Damn!

Hurricane Otis Discussion Number  13
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL       EP182023
400 AM CDT Wed Oct 25 2023

Satellite data indicated that Otis continued to strengthen to near
the time of landfall in southern Mexico.  Subjective Dvorak data
T-numbers were around T7.0 (140 kt) around 04-05Z while raw
objective ADT numbers were in the T7.2 to T7.6 range between about
01-05Z.  Based on that data, Otis is estimated to have made landfall
around 0625 UTC as a category 5 hurricane with maximum winds of 145
kt. The core of the hurricane moved onshore in the greater Acapulco
area.

Just an all-time whiff by, like EVERY model, right? Like, literally, the people there did not have any real advance warning of this, right? Like four categories of off...

Yep. No indication whatsoever that this would become even a hurricane 24 hours out.
