This is highly concerning. I am hoping that this upcoming Nina will be as unconventional as the Nino was last year, meaning we have elevated SSTs but somehow hardly any hurricanes form and those that do recurve safely away from US interests. And, that this upcoming winter turns out the opposite of Nina climatology with cold temps and decent amounts of snow for the entire Mid Atlantic Region in 2024-2025.

New Orleans is going to get a LOT of rain in the next 5 days. Most of that moisture feed is going due north. Big Easy might want to start building an ark lol.

On the one hand, Austin goes bone dry from mid June thru Christmas. Rain is rare here. On the other side of the ledger, hurricanes affecting us is extremely rare, one every 135 years. I'll be long gone by 2259. We do droughts like a boss but we dont have to worry about tropical stuff very often.

Potential Tropical Cyclone One Discussion Number   1
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL       AL012024
400 PM CDT Mon Jun 17 2024

Satellite, surface, and aircraft data show that the center of 
the large low pressure area is over the Bay of Campeche with a 
central pressure near 1001 mb.  The system currently does not have 
the structure of a tropical cyclone, as the associated convection 
is poorly organized and the maximum winds are located about 
200-250 n mi northeast of the center.  The various global models 
forecast this band of stronger winds to start moving onto the 
western Gulf coast on Wednesday, and a Tropical Storm Watch is 
required at this time.  Thus, advisories are being initiated on 
Potential Tropical Cyclone One.

The initial motion is 345/6.  This general motion should continue 
for the next 24 h or so, although there could be some erratic 
motion due to center reformation.  After that, the cyclone is 
expected to turn west-northwestward and westward on the south side 
of a mid- to upper-level ridge over the northern Gulf coast.  This 
should steer the system into northeastern Mexico between 48-72 h.  
While there are differences in details due to the disorganized 
nature of the system, the track guidance is in good agreement on 
this general scenario.

The global models suggest that some deepening of the central 
pressure could occur, although none of them currently forecast the 
system to tighten up into a classic tropical cyclone.  Based on 
that, the intensity forecast calls for only modest strengthening.  
There is a chance than a small-scale vorticity center inside the 
large cyclonic envelope may develop enough convection to form a 
tighter wind core as suggested by the GFS, and based on this 
possibility the forecast has the system becoming a tropical storm in 
about 36 h.  However, there is a chance the system will never 
become a tropical cyclone.

Key Messages: 
1. Users are reminded to not focus on the exact forecast track of 
this system.  The disturbance is very large with rainfall, coastal 
flooding, and wind impacts likely to occur far from the center 
along the coasts of Texas and northeastern Mexico.

2. Rainfall associated with Potential Tropical Cyclone One will 
impact large regions of Central America, northeastern Mexico 
and southeastern Texas.   This rainfall will likely produce 
considerable flash and urban flooding along with new and renewed 
river flooding.  Mudslides are also possible in areas of higher 
terrain across Central America into Northeast Mexico.

3. Moderate coastal flooding is likely along much of the Texas 
Coast beginning early Tuesday and continuing through midweek. 

4. Tropical storm conditions are possible beginning Wednesday over 
portions of northeastern Mexico and the Texas coast south of Port 
O’Connor, where a Tropical Storm Watch has been issued.

You think we could have an Isabel sequel this year?

Isabel was BAD. I remember going to the OBX 3 weeks after Izzy. Houses on the beach, trees snapped off at 6 feet along I 64, beach access ramps smashed to hell, lots of hotels in Nags Head were smashed up and washing around in the high tide wavewash.

Its hard to believe the tropics are ALREADY active in late June.

....I can't tell if this is sarcasm or not, lol

 

If not, then the question would be active compared to what? Not the 2020s certainly.

Other neutral years? We're on par (or behind.)

MDR is really looking legit. 

94L is heading toward the Bay of Campeche, 95L is poised to become our first true MDR system as early as this weekend, and there’s a pretty robust signal for the following wave to develop eventually. 

All after Alberto and 92L/93L being very close to getting classified near land. 

Even with 1 NS so far things are extremely active.

Almost certainly will have Beryl at 11pm.

I do think it’s worth watching what the models do with the ridging next week. There may be a window to slide something northwest around the periphery of an Atlantic ridge.

Gotta ask, is this late June or early September?

This is going to be a massive possibly unprecedented tropical season.

Beryl is the strongest storm for this time of year to form so far East in the Atlantic.  SSTs are boiling out there . 

Incredible warmth in the MDR and expanding North and NW every day.
