2024 Tropical Tracking Thread

My peak season forecast may go down in flames, but my pattern recognition has been pretty good lol.

While it’s worth watching a possible one off in the dead tropical Atlantic portion of the MDR and perhaps something weak in the central Atlantic for TC genesis, obviously the western Caribbean is the place to pay closest attention.

The homebrew signal I’ve been talking about since late August has evolved over the last week. Originally, the signal was for genesis potential off the SE coast and in the Gulf due to stalled frontal boundaries from anomalously strong late summer troughs. That led to our three invests, one which hit NS as a non tropical cyclone, one which became a PTC but fell just short of a tropical designation, and one that helped seed what became Hurricane Francine. 

Now we’re looking at a CAG signal, which as I’ve said before is a more tropical genesis pathway than what we formerly had. These can spin up one (most likely) or two TCs. While the ceilings are usually low, this environment seems like it has higher end potential given the extent of OHC, instability, and low wind shear—one area of the cool neutral ENSO that did come to fruition from the hyperactive seasonal forecasts.

Everything remains on the table, and I think anyone in the Gulf and to a lesser extent folks on the EC should be paying attention to this.

Thinking the forecast for future Helene is going to be unusually tricky given the very blocked mid latitude flow and potential for multiple cut off lows around the CONUS. 

Agree. I think that’s going to make where the system develops—on the western or eastern side of the Yucatán—really critical. 

An eastern solution could take it up the east coast, whereas something in the central Gulf could be a real disaster with inland momentum getting halted leading to a moisture bomb somewhere.

Latest guidance suggests it will be captured as a trough cuts off in the mid south, becoming part of a strengthening omega block.

Chance it comes up the coast by the weekend? 

Seems that as Lurker mentioned some rains remain in the Midwest on the left side of the Omega block and other moisture stays depressed to our South due to the upstream block and what a block it is . Here is how it looks on day 6 and 7 per the WPC

I'd keep an eye on it though. You know how models flip flop. I'm hoping for some sunshine and nice fall weather. I'm over the dreary conditions and my huge plants are in bloom and need dry air and sunshine.

Thank you both.

Omg THE KILLERS are playing there. Just looked. Jealous. Wish I could go. Killers and Strokes are the 2 bands at the top of my list to see at this juncture.

Got tickets for my wife and daughter.  She loves the Killers too!  Picking her up from Drexel Thursday night and taking her home on Sunday :-)  

I'm going to be their Uber all weekend and work on beach place while they are having fun. :-)  The things I do for my girls!

I’m so pumped. So many good bands to see.
