Last Winter 2019-2020 I created a model archive thread for winter storm maps. I feel that thread went well and I hope that it is very useful for the future. This hurricane season I have decided to do the same thing. I will say that maintaining a hurricane season thread will probably be much harder to do than a winter storm thread. For a storm to make its way into this thread, I probably will only post if it is a first for the season, hits land or is a crazy major storm. If we are tracking a storm that looks obviously credible, I will post on that as well.

If this thread goes the way that the winter thread goes, I'll most likely be the only one to post, but just some tips to keep things organized if you do post in here
1. Place the model name and date in the post
2. Make sure if you are posting an image move it to your desktop and then post it in the thread. Clicking and dragging from the browser doesn't work well.
3. If you are posting a 6hr precipitation map, I recommend adding a gif.

Just for fun, I’d love to see everyone’s personal predictions, what are your thoughts on this upcoming season? I believe this season has the potential to be historic however not quite like 2005, living in Miami I will never forget that year. I believe this year we will see a Category 5, like we have the past few years. In addition, I also think we have the potential to see more than one major hurricane make landfall in the US.

This season we’ll definitely have to keep an eye on the Gulf Of Mexico, as it’s waters are extremely warm. As always we’ll also have to keep an eye on the East Coast and it’s steering currents. Another prediction I’m making is that South Florida will see a direct impact or landfall from a Hurricane. The last few years they’ve managed to be on the fringe of an impact, and I think this year we’ll see it.

This is @Brent's post. I don't like the quote tool because it covers up the image:

May have to watch the old frontal boundary this weekend we actually have pretty good agreement between the Euro and the GFS

It's a pretty ominous sign of the impending hurricane season when every model run features an east pacific tropical system or hurricane making a B-Line across central America to the Atlantic side.

I'm looking forward to that Gulf System riding the front into Florida on Sunday. I'm bored. We need some weather. They say we're in some kind of drought in South Florida, but I never take a drought that seriously living in a place where I've seen one storm or a few days of heavy rainfall completely obliterate those conditions.

I’m okay with Hurricane season being Ironic. I don’t know about Mother Nature though.
