2024 Atlantic Hurricane Season


Recommended Posts

Heh, suddenly the Euro wants to develop something (sub)tropical off the SE coast in the next few days. Stays offshore. Just kind of speaks to this nebulous signal over the next ten days or so.

@GaWx similar to the Ukmet? Also, look at the EPAC signal now. Interesting.

Today’s 12Z run is the 6th UKMET run in a row with the TCG off the SE coast with this one stronger (TS) but back to moving NE safely off the E coast (0Z was moving N toward NC):

Meanwhile, the 12Z UKMET dropped the W Gulf TCG that it had on its prior 2 runs.

Euro and Canadian ensembles don't support the GFS  and ensembles very low NW Caribbean/Gulf pressure at 2 weeks at all, but the entertainment value of what are likely spurious storms is high.

 

Back in the real world the rain from the moisture pooling in the NW Caribbean and Gulf isn't a bad thing, the heaviest rain looks to fall in S. Florida which is in level 2 (severe) drought.

I've been alluding to this window of favorability and I have a little time to explain what I've meant. 

The overall setup over the next 10 days or so is a bit tricky. For for this early in the season, it's our first real window for some type of development. What makes this interesting is that the guidance after waffling for about a week or so are now highlighting a broad window with areas to casually watch imo. Let's start by talking about the main features associated with this potential window opening.  

-Currently we have combined with diffluent flow we have an anomalous plume of tropical moisture streaming north into the Gulf of Mexico around a ridge nosing into the Caribbean. 

SGUYCdx.png

 

As this happens, we have broad cyclonic flow over the western Caribbean and Central America. Not quite declared a CAG from what I've seen, but that's possible at some point within the next week or so. Nothing spectacularly strong, but you just need a window for a seedling to develop. The odds of TC genesis also end up slightly elevated given how exceptionally warm this region is this early in the season. 

Tc6OqD0.png

WFXY3XK.png

 

Let's turn to three areas. 

1) Gulf of Mexico/SE US Coast (3-7 Days) 
This is the most immediate area of interest. The signal for organization and possible TC genesis, however muted, has existed for this region first. The signal has bounced around too. The GFS originally took some of the energy ejected out of the Caribbean and tried to organize a low in the Gulf. For a while it was very aggressive with the signal but has settled to a more climatologically favored broad and moisture laden low in the eastern Gulf. The Canadian has been further west, and the Euro was barely on board until recently. Not a surprise given how weak the signal overall has been at times. 

However, the signal in the last day has diverged a bit, with the Euro taking the ejecting energy across Florida and developing a low, perhaps (sub)tropical, off the SE coast before going harmlessly out to sea. Today the GFS has tried moving toward this solution. 

EPS

GEFS

This is an interesting short term shift, but it may very well may be rooted in a realistic seed. Both the GFS and especially Euro take an area of vorticity currently in the Gulf across the FL Peninsula midweek before some type of development. The Euro is most aggressive. 

Although it is highly sheared, the small area of vorticity has held on and tightened a bit today.

Let's not overstate it--it doesn't look like much. But again, we watch for seedlings this time of year that can become something more organized eventually. Let's see what it looks like tomorrow and the coming days. One thing to watch is if it gets trapped under a ridge that will bring heat to much of the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast next week but that's just speculation given the latest GFS run. The Euro develops a modest low that gets swept out to sea in straightforward fashion.

2) BoC Low (6-9 Days)
This has been a consistent signal the last day or so by the Euro/EPS, and the GFS/GEFS are on board to an extent. Whether this comes from an EPAC disturbance or something that rolls up as a result of being on the Atlantic side of a CAG remains to be seen.

I'd bet on any vorticity finding itself in the Bay of Campeche developing provided it has sufficient time. 


3) SW Atlantic (10+ Days) 
Not worth much ink, but as an Atlantic ridge flexes in the long range we may want to watch if there's a sharp wave or piece of a trough that breaks off and tries to develop. Again, not worth much for now.

We can easily handle a foot of rain over 5 days, problem is training on the SW coast and you get to 15 inches in less than a day. We had an event in Fort Lauderdale a year ago, 20+ in 12 hours but very isolated, this setup is very different. Lots of noise in the models, gulf really isnt favorable for at least a week, maybe something finds a small window but its all about the rain for this one and the texas system down the road,maybe.

I'm 50/50 on Alberto developing off SEUSA and then OTS.  Anything after seems quite uncertain.  Two weenie GFS runs in a row, but when has the GFS been right 2 weeks out?

Would certainly be a harbinger of a hyperactive season if we beat the EPAC to the first storm of the NW hemisphere…

 

Model signals are going to back on and off development over the next few days but in the long run we are entering a more favorable period for disturbances.

NHC lemon'ed it:

Quote
1. Eastern Gulf of Mexico and Offshore Southeast U.S.:
A trough of low pressure over the eastern Gulf of Mexico is 
producing a large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms.  
This system is expected to move northeastward across Florida during 
the next day or so and offshore of the U.S. Southeast coast later 
this week.  Environmental conditions are expected to be generally 
unfavorable, although some slow development is possible when the 
system is offshore of the U.S. Southeast coast.  Regardless of 
development, heavy rainfall is expected across portions of Florida 
during the next few days.  For more information, see products issued 
by the Weather Prediction Center and local National Weather Service 
Forecast Offices.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...20 percent.

Makes me feel good when an area I tag early eventually gets highlighted by the NHC lol. 

90L is getting sheared terribly but the convection is quite strong.

Some of the high res guidance is ugly in the coming days with regard to rainfall.

I'm still thinking a closed low develops off SEUSA from the vorticity just W of TPA.  It'll be an E weighted system, it may never get beyond a TD or whatever they would call an STD if that abbreviation wasn't more widely know for something else.  Might still be Alberto.  IMBY, the op GFS and ensembles with a weak and broad low buried in the BoC but swinging deep moisture towards my house, with PW off 2.5" or higher this time next week, I like that.  It has been a fairly wet spring, with an unusual amount of severe weather in SETX, but I think damper ground helps limit the feed back of the inevitable Mexican heat Ridge, and helps avoid the repeat of Summer 2023 here.

Africa Standing Wave likely to take hold through July soon. 

This would suggest if nothing happens in the next week or 10 days, nothing will happen for the next 6 weeks.  At least the old climatology, June and July combined produced just more than 1 TC, or a sedate Atlantic for the second half of June and July would be normal.

90L will have a narrow chance for weak development off the SE coast, but the signal for something in the BoC has grown a bit since my post yesterday. Not a bad look on the ensembles. 
 

Edit: adding EPS

3.93" in the last hour:yikes:

The cloud top temperatures with the convection have been as cold
as -70 to -75C, and with a highly tropical environment with PWs
pushing 2.25+ inches, some of the rainfall rates have been
reaching 3 to 4 inches/hour over the last hour. Part of the
convective band is offshore, but part of it over the last hour has
edged onshore and is impacting the urban corridor from near
Bradenton southward down through Sarasota.

Recent radar trends suggest some northward advance of the
convective band with the low center also showing some evidence of
deepening somewhat which suggests the ongoing convective
organization, albeit it sheared, over the southeast part of the
low center may maintain itself in response to stronger low-level
convergence/forcing.

This suggests at least in the near-term that extremely heavy
rainfall rates within this convective band may continue to edge
farther inland and persist, with impacts in particular along the
Bradenton to Sarosota urban corridor.

Given extremely high rainfall rates of 3 to 4 inches/hour, some
storm totals over the next 2 to 3 hours may locally approach or
exceed 6 to 8 inches. Urban flash flooding is considered likely
given the set-up, and this situation will need to be closely
monitored going into the evening hours.
