True, but according to climatology late August is when things really begin to ramp up in the tropics. That’s also when Harvey hit us. It’s just something to keep an eye on for now. Definitely nothing to freak out about.

Seriously though I've noticed the last few days on the very long range that there has been a hint of something around the YP. Sure enough the latest few runs at show something slowly organizing and moving generally towards the western gulf. And it's a very large system in terms of coverage, not strength. Years past it would be easy to dismiss it but since the new GFS doesn't spin up everything with a pulse it might be something to begin keeping an eye on.
While nothing eventually fully organized out of this, it is still impressive how well the early stages of the modeling worked out for being at the extreme end of the long range.
And the euro and GFS hints at that we might not be done with this system.
Invest 99L needs to be watched. The Bermuda high looks to be pretty stout to its north preventing it from recurving out to sea. Decent chance this will make it into the Gulf.
TD5 has now been upgraded to Tropical Storm Dorian.

Tropical activity continues as the first week of September ends. I am closely watching 94L way out in the Eastern Atlantic. Future Humberto may well be a long tracker and could end up in the Eastern Caribbean Sea in about 10 days. With no strong cold fronts on the horizon for Texas and the Gulf Coast, it serves as a reminder that late September can bring threats of a tropical system. Rita taught us that in 2005 and coincidentally Jerry is the next name after Humberto.

I was literally just about to post something very similar to this lol as long as there’s no troughs/fronts coming our way, hurricane season is still open for us.srainhoutx wrote: ↑Fri Sep 06, 2019 7:15 am Tropical activity continues as the first week of September ends.

Once again I am seeing some indications of Hemispheric Patterns that could bring favorable conditions to the Tropical Atlantic in about 10 days or so and may well bring an active period as September ends and October begins. Two charts I look to suggest lower pressures as well as rising air and thus better conditions for tropical thunderstorms to develop with a Convectively Couple Kelvin Wave arriving around September 18th. Now that dust from Africa is no longer a problem and warmer sea surface temperatures are present across the Gulf, Caribbean and Main Development Region of the Atlantic, a burst of tropical activity could be in the cards. We will see.
