Time to move on. 

You hate to see it, reminds of the guy from the movie Wild Crazy Summer with John Cusack, the guy locked  in the room waiting to win the radio contest all summer is like some here waiting for a tropical storm. If anyone gets the reference please post

Might be east of Bermuda. Scooter knows.

I wasn't following along closely over the weekend, but I saw a retweet from MJO from a met along the lines of "If we get this ULL to stall here and kick the storm this way, then it waits for the next trough and blah, blah, then the threat isn't over for the east coast" and I knew it was over. When you see MJO and ineedsnow trying to bank hurricanes off of the garage to find a pathway into SNE, you need not look...its that time.

Getting to the point where this season is irreconcilibly dissapointing from a volume/ACE perspective.

This one is a lost cause.

I’m sure they already have solar pressure or whatever it is to blame. 
 

We’ll need a super active September to November which I guess is possible in theory, but pretty lame season outside Beryl. At least that one was impressive.

Look at the 6z Euro ensembles and tell me you can write this off 100 percent

6z EPS took a pretty big shift west from 0z.  I definitely wouldn't say that yet.. some would hit by the looks of it at hr144 and most track west of Bermuda now

The further west it initially makes it, the sharper that parabolic curve will be underneath SNE. Same guys always chasing their own shadow.

Some don't though and actually curve west a few would even threaten NC

I honestly don't think that was factored in enough....look at the uber active seasons like 1995 and 2005...they were all near solar min. There aren't any extremely high ACE seasns near solar max.

I know there have been and are some ensembles members looking "interesting" but this system never had a shot at sniffing the east coast. Just because a D11 model run shows a scenario of a storm moving up or into the coast does not mean it's a possible solution. The upper air pattern was never there for this. These troughs are a bit too progressive and the trough axis develop just a bit too far east.

I’ve never really heard of that until this year. So if the experts all knew about it, why did they whack their weenies to warm water? Warm water is one of several components. Maybe it needs more examining as this theory seems fairly new. We did have a pretty active season a few years ago.

12z tropical models do just that. Consensus is like 64W when it’s at HSE latitude. Good luck lol.

I have no divulged too deep into the tropics but wasn't much of the forcing across the IO/WPAC? 

It's pretty wild that both the EPAC/ATL have both been super quiet. You would expect that to be more of the case in the EPAC with the developing Nina but to have BOTH basins quiet seems weird. Only recently didn't we get some forcing across the EPAC and we saw several systems brew up.

Well, look it up...its true.

I’ve looked it up a few months ago when I first heard that. Seems fairly new over the last few years or so. I’ve heard of QBO theories and what not, but never heard of that until this season.

At this range, there are always going to be some "interesting" ensemble members.

These systems curving out south of NE are a mirage with respect to perceived proximity/probability of major impact in the absence of a major ULL or trough over the lakes to draw it in.

The westerlies are very prominent at this latitude later in the summer and throughout the cold season....any tropical system is going to encounter those and recurve south of us, so in order to be far enough west to still track over the area, it will have crossed over a significant amount of land first....a la Debby. There is a reason that we are directly impacted by a major tropical system so infrequently...its not as it is further south, where you can just hope for a slightly less abrupt turn.

I think many will be surprised how active it'll be in 2-3 weeks.

SSTs are still near record highs and shear is quite low throughout Atlantic. MJO pulse + dust settling down will do the trick. 

I don't doubt that. All I am saying is that it needs to fire up quickly on order to get over 200 ACE.

This seems bafflingly prisoner of the moment to me?

There’s historically about 85% of the season left at this point and we’re running ahead of climo in NS/H/MH/ACE before Ernesto even forms and potentially becomes a longish track ACE producer. We’ve had two US hurricane landfalls before Aug 15, which formed during normally hostile climatological periods. Both of those systems, while not majors at landfall (why would they be, the first MH is expected September 1) rapidly intensified in the 48-36 hours before landfall.

I feel like I do this every August around here when we’re not at like 10/5/3 by August 10 lol. The data is objectively impressive compared to the historical record. 

A number of our recent seasons produced huge peaks—I don’t see anything yet to suggest this peak won’t be big, and I’m not focusing on SSTAs or OHC in that statement though they do matter. 

Highest # of NS 8/11+: (from GAWX)
21: 2020, 05
16: 2021, 19, 10, 1969, 50
15: 2023, 1933

2017 didn’t get its first hurricane until August 8 and then pulled off 10 consecutive hurricanes mostly in September and October. There are whole ass seasons outside of the ones above that happen in a few weeks focused on the peak of the season more often than not. The average days between 1 TC forming is 14 in July and 11 in August. 

Of course things can fail. But the pre-peak activity doesn’t scream anything but top 10 season at least to me. Don’t need 28 NS for that.
