StantonParkHoya Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 Will be interesting to follow the timing and the trough interaction. GFS does it again but the set up over the US MW is quite different each run. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbullsfan Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 Now a lemon:An area of low pressure could form this weekend over the western Caribbean Sea. Thereafter, some slow development of this system is possible through early next week while the system moves slowly to the north or northwest over the northwestern Caribbean Sea.* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent. * Formation chance through 7 days...low...20 percent.Seems like a lot of steam for only 20% or is that mostly because they think the development could be more than 7 days out? Sorry for the weenie question but this one seems to have quite the buzz so the 20% kinda threw me off. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for the weenie question but this one seems to have quite the buzz so the 20% kinda threw me off. . The TC genesis signal looks right on the edge of 7 days judging by the ensembles. While I think the CAG (Central American Gyre) signal is real and we have a good chance of something forming, I’d say we need more time to lock that signal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seminole Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 If I am interpreting the 6Z GFS correctly. We have a high end tropical storm off the Panama City coast that somehow drifts south east and proceeds into the Apalachee Bay as a low end CAT 1. It then maintains high end tropical storm intensity to though the entire eastern seaboard and then regains hurricane intensity over Pennsylvania and New York (Subtropical?).

bdgwx Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 Given that AI models generally tend to blur or smooth the forecasted fields [Bonavito 2024] the ECMW-AI looks really spicy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olafminesaw Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 It seems to me the inhibiting factor for development could be the broad circulation may have trouble tightening. This seems to be why the GFS has a very large hurricane, while the Euro has shown on several runs a broad area of low pressure that never develops despite reasonably favorable conditions.

jbenedet Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 Having the repeat signals from the EPS and GEFS run after run is —as many have already stated—as strong an indication as any at this lead time that a strong tropical system is likely to develop. And then we have the MJO transition phase 6 to 7/8. The high amplitude troughiness seen across the central/Eastern CONUS on some of the op runs around the time of interest is much more likely than not… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This seems to be why the GFS has a very large hurricane, while the Euro has shown on several runs a broad area of low pressure that never develops despite reasonably favorable conditions. This is a really good point, and is a good place for a reminder that usually CAG systems are slow to develop and are relatively lower ceiling at least initially because they can be so broad. Michael was an exception to the rule. Turning to the GFS…it looks like the eastern trough is enough to take it north and then NE across FL, but then a ridge rolls over the northern U.S. and traps it from escaping OTS immediately in advance of another trough that could kick or draw north. Just one of many solutions but I think the Gulf and East Coast should be watching this one closely. This looks like a favorable intensification environment if a low can build a well-organized structure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but I think this is the first time we have seen this type of solution. I believe we are getting towards a "storm will be happening"... the question is strength and track. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott747 Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 Definite filth on the 18z GFS. TS winds from Galveston to New Orleans. Hurricane gusts from the Golden Triangle to Houma. Still grain of salt type of run that far out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purduewx80 Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 10 minutes ago, BRSno said: 18z GFS sure trended to something more like this Eh, Wilma intensified to an historic Cat 5 in the Caribbean. Current ensemble suite doesn’t suggest anything like a repeat, but in general the analogs are showing how we get a potential major hurricane to come north out of the Caribbean. Somewhere in the eastern half of the Gulf is most likely at this point, but there’s a huge amount of spread in timing and location, such that anywhere in the Gulf is probably fair game. This one will have off-the-charts OHC to work with and will probably be able to take advantage of the loop current farther north, too. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaWx Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 21 minutes ago, TPAwx said: Probably an H storm so for sure a miss in TB. We only take I storms seriously. I storms have been extra damaging and/or deadly on the CONUS since Irene of 1999 and Isabel of 2003. Afterward, there was Ivan of 2004, Ike of 2008, Irene of 2011, Isaac of 2012, Irma of 2017, Isaias of 2020, Ida of 2021, Ian of 2022, and Idalia of 2023. Very damaging or deadly H storms for CONUS: Hazel of 1954, Hilda of 1964, Hugo of 1989, and Harvey of 2017. I storms overall have been the worst by a good margin of any letter for the CONUS the last 25 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
