Besides the monster Caribbean hurricane in the Gulf on the ECMWF, what I found interesting is another 3 MDR disturbances on Sep 29th. Would be a record turnaround were we to get this amount of late season activity. We'll see whether the ECMWF is crying wolf or is onto something.

This is not normal. Even for a strong El Nino, you would likely not see this. This is Sep 12th. Not Dec 12th. Plenty of work will be done in the offseason trying to investigate the causes for the AWB. Sorta reminds me of 2004 only in the complete opposite direction.

Something I find interesting for the medium range track of 98L is the WNW/W bend shown on the GEFS/GEPS. On the EPS, we see more of a continued W/WNW motion, resulting in the EPS being on the SW side of the model envelope. GEFS is furthest NE and GEPS is right down the middle.

Quite an active looking Eastern Tropical Atlantic for the 3rd week of June. 92L looks to be on the cusp of TCG and should trends continue, will be classified as a TD/TS later today. The wave behind it also appears to be gradually organizing. And a 3rd wave behind it over Africa.

🧵What's next after Beryl? Well, the ATL most likely will go quiet for at least 10 days as tropical forcing moves east and favors the WPAC/EPAC. However, there is a small hint at another low latitude AEW moving off Africa in the medium to long range (8-10 days).

The long range GEFS and EPS show a favorable window for the ATL basin around the 2nd week of June. The favorable window looks to have gotten pushed back ~1 week due to timing of the MJO/CCKW. The W Caribbean starts perking up around the 2nd week of June, with a weak EPAC signal.

With VHTs rotating around the eye of Hurricane Beryl, the storm is likely in the stages of reintensifying or at the very least plateauing in its weakening phase, as its central pressure has risen to the 970s. The Yucatan should prepare for at least a category 2 hurricane.

A recent trend on the GFS has been for a weaker PVS in the SW ATL. The PVS will impart westerly shear and in conjunction with the fast trade winds, could really disrupt Beryl. Assuming Beryl is a hurricane at this point and avoids Hispanola, the chance it survives could increase.

The most impressive wave of the 2024 hurricane season as the sun rises is getting enhanced by favorable tropical forcing (CCKW) as it tracks westward. Development is possible as the wave passes north of South America and south of Jamaica when it reaches the Western Caribbean.

In the North Atlantic, a pretty high-amplitude African Easterly Wave ~50W is moving in-phase with an upper-level anticyclone, providing upper-level divergence. It’s also in front of a Convectively-Coupled Kelvin Wave, which forces anomalous low-level convergence ahead of itself.

In terms of actual TC output, the EPS has now locked in (GEFS as well) on the 2nd half of June for a favorable window to appear. The 3rd week of June could favor the W Caribbean/Gulf as a CCKW/MJO traverse eastward. As the forcing moves over Africa, the MDR may become favorable.

By the 2nd week of June, I'd watch the ITCZ to see whether we get an amplified TW. There are hints we may see a wave try to amplify near the Caribbean in the medium to long range. These type of waves can be seedlings for Western Caribbean/Gulf development should they survive.

🧵Early Aug will likely be the transition period for when the ATL may start producing TCG attempts as upper level easterlies start to intrude near/west of 60W, trying to push away the TUTT near the Antilles. Most likely, the TUTT will be weakened somewhat by the 2nd week of Aug.

After Philippe and 91L, we may see more AEW activity into October with the help of another CCKW. Given the lack of strong shear in the MDR south of 15N, will have to watch any low riding ITCZ wave should the ridging rebuild even just a little, which has not been the case in 2023.

Decent model signal for an AEW to try to spin up in the ITCZ. The wave is forecast to come off Africa ~96 hours from now. There will be dry air to its north (not surprisingly) but it should be tucked away in the more moist ITCZ and may try to develop as it nears the Antilles.

Something to monitor with 94L is its forward speed. A faster 94L, like what the operational GFS/ECMWF show, will likely take a more southern track toward Central America. A slower 94L (CMC/ICON) would be further north and likely avoid CA. This is reflected in most ensembles.

Looking at actual SSTs and not anomalies, 2024 sticks out like sore thumb. Note the 3 years selected all finished with 200+ACE and had the classic +AMM look into peak season. 04 (Warm Neutral/Modoki El Nino), 05 (Cool Neutral), and 17 (Cool Neutral).

1/Rising air (via tropical forcing) will return over Africa by mid Aug, allowing the formation of strong AEWs, with the MJO following by the 3rd week of Aug. IMO, the 3rd week of Aug stretch will determine whether the hurricane season has a chance of attaining above average ACE.

Not something you will see in mid June but the Saharan Air Layer being abnormally shallow has allowed several impressive tropical waves to find an opening to develop. Light shear as well in the Tropical Atlantic. When will the El Nino induced shear arrive? Aug? Mid Sep? Oct?

🧵With all eyes rightfully on Idalia (and some on Franklin), our best bet at our first Cabo Verde TC of the hurricane season will come from this low riding tropical wave currently at 10E. The ECMWF and EPS have been adamant this wave develops as it moves west across the MDR.

Absolutely incredible how anomalous warm the North Atlantic Ocean is in 2023. Probably the strongest +AMO ever observed since 1950. Here's how it compares to the years 2010, 2017, and 2020 on June 29th.

The JMA model tends to be a bit biased toward the ATL basin in most years but is rightfully bullish for the JAS period. The VP configuration is very favorable, with sinking encompassing the entire Pacific basin and rising air focused over the Indian Ocean, Africa, and the E ATL.

Since the Caribbean has been mentioned as a potential hotspot for storms this hurricane season, I thought I would post all hurricanes that have passed within 140 nautical miles of Jamaica in Aug/Sep. Notice the cluster of Aug tracks towards Mexico, which expands NE in Sep.

Looking at years that had a classic +AMM by March, some that stand out are 2004, 2005, and 2010. What's interesting is that 2004 lost the classic +AMM look in the Spring and regained it in early Summer. 05/10 had the look persist into hurricane season. 2010 is a +match for ENSO.

I wanted to pull up the July 2017 NMME forecast for Aug 2017 as the Feb 2017 forecast had a full fledged Nino and lacked a classic +AMM signal. The ATL configuration in 2024 blows everything away and by all indication, the ATL may trend warmer based on current trends.

Although the west shifts have been significant (and I do favor a more western solution at the moment), hard to rule out a West FL hit when uncertainty exists with the amplitude and position of the trough. 12z vs 18z ICON runs show this.

Feeling somewhat confident we will have both Nigel and Ophelia within the next 15 days, putting the 2023 hurricane season at 15 NS by Sep 23rd (16 if including the January unnamed storm).

The GEFS may be on to something as the ECMWF and EPS suggest a Central American gyre will be in the vicinity of the Yucatan. Conditions aren't great (dry air, some shear) but a low may try to consolidate as it attempts to lift north. Healthy signal on the EPS as well.

Beryl's EWRC has been completed at a very quick pace unfortunately. As the inner eyewall has fully collapsed and a larger one has taken over, the storm is deepening on approach to the Windward Islands. Greneda appears to be in direct path of the storm. A disastrous situation.

And we all thought the Lee wave was a low rider.... This one is south of 10N. Any decent ridging would likely imply this heads toward the Caribbean but still too early to say.

Curious if the EPS come onboard but probably the most bullish run on the GEFS in a while. The GEPS have always liked it as well. Seems as though an intact wave could take advantage of a low shear environment in the NW Caribbean/Gulf of Mexico. Key word being *intact*.

I wouldn't write off the trailing AEW near 25W just yet. The one in front of it really fell apart but this one has sorta held on. We'll see whether it does anything but today's model runs suggest it may try to amplify just east of the Caribbean. Whether it develops is TBD.
