Fwiw, 12Z Euro says “Ridge Over Troubled Water” part two late next week with a second big (actually stronger) NE US surface high:

Is JB copying my posts? I beat him to the punch by 4 hours ;) :

 I think that another home brew under the next big NE high late next week is much more likely than the 18Z GFS idea of that storm coming all the way to the CONUS. There’s no room for both and the 18Z GFS is an extreme outlier considering its own ensemble, other models, and climo (lateness for that kind of track). A home brew under a big and strong high OTOH wouldn’t be. Of course neither may happen.

We have had at least 1 active storm every day since 8/20. So far a month straight, today, the Atlantic has had an active storm. That’s incredible 

Where has Ldub been?????? I guess he lost faith after his 0/0/0 august forecast. Expect his return after Nigel goes extra trop and we have a brief break. 
I think this season is a big sign of what’s to come in the future. Record warm OHC overwhelms traditional teleconnections.

This is the most super interesting thing to me too.  If El Niño is no longer a hurricane suppressant……then what are we looking at in terms of future hurricane seasons?  What does a La Niña look like with record warmth?  What does neutral look like?Would love met thoughts.

Nino tends to suppress more over the Caribbean and GOM than it does out in the MDR or particularly the subtropical Atlantic. It's just that there's been a big expansion of the 26C isotherm both spatially and at depth over the last 40y (and especially the last few years) in these areas where a Nino won't really help stop development.

Obviously if you don't have a mod-strong Nino in place helping shear part of the basin, then this leaves open more area over time to higher SSTs and OHC. ENSO isn't the only game in town though, and changes to static stability via SAL intrusions and the West African Monsoon are important too.

12Z UKMET, like the 12Z GFS and even the 12Z ICON to a lesser extent, has ridge over troubled waters part 2 in about a week:

Bizarre hurricane season, Hyperactive Atlantic with an almost dead GOM and Caribbean barring Imelda.  Absolutely crazy clash of so many different climate factors.

Interesting because if you asked somewhat what to expect with an El Nino and record hot Atlantic, that's exactly what you'd expect.

So why was it not prominently chosen in the various hurricane forecasts? 

Certainly both the Nino conditions as well as the unusually warm Atlantic were discussed at great length.

This is continued risk of ridge over troubled waters pt 2 with model consensus suggesting higher than avg TCG chance either NW Car, E GOM or SW Atlantic late next week underneath strong high in SE Can/NE US. 5 of 31 12Z GEFS have strong TS to H.

A day old, but I was busy.  Lower Gulf pressures would rob convergence from the Caribbean, but one good cold front might fix that.  I'm a little impressed CV season is still going past the Equinox.

 

 

I’m not sure why Andy says lower hts over GOM  is opposite of ridge over troubled waters. Lower hts over GOM under high hts over NE US/SE Can: how is that opposite when it isn’t?

It was.  Look through the first couple pages of this thread.  A lot of talk about recurves and analogs to 2010 which had similar tracks.

 Related to the ridge over troubled waters idea of low pressure forming to the S of NE US/SE Canada high pressure due to lower level convergence leading to rising air and thus LP forming, a good number of 12Z model runs have something within 4-7 days. If over warm enough waters like in this case, it can lead to TCG. 

 The 12Z UKMET does this kind of thing just offshore the SE US on Thu (9/29) followed by very slow E movement for 3 days due to the blocking high sort of keeping it stuck. I don’t know whether or not this is directly related to the @wdragthread idea (thus I’ll probably post this there, too). But whether a system forms as he described it or something further S, a home brew (TC or STC) forming within a week or so just off the E coast seems likely to me:

I don't think any will go. 

Idalia has a decent shot at retirement.  As far as the never ending CV/Atlantic MDR season, 91L, although intensity guidance seems to suggest it may not become a hurricane.  SHIPS shear increases to near 30 knots in 3 days.

Maybe. I would be a bit surprised if Idalia was retired, seemed to be more bark than bite.

I suspect we still have more activity to come. 

Agree. We will have a NW Caribbean/GOM storm. We’re reaching that time period

For a major hurricane striking the continental US, Idalia was as gracious as could possibly be.

It seems pure hype to retire the name.
