Tropical 2020 Atlantic Hurricane Season Discussion

Yep said the same thing on a couple people's post last night

It does look like a lull for a week or two but there's apparently gonna be a favorable wave around the 15th-20th which ironically is when I always consider the real season to start

Even 2005 had a lull in August before Katrina happened and the rest is history

The first week of September seems to be a bad time for canes to hit NC.
 
Glad to have you back Henry! I was wondering where you were.

Hurricane into New Orleans this run though not nearly as intense as the 18z it's interesting to see how its consistent though...

2005
27 named storms
15 hurricanes
7 majors
ACE rating 250

IN 2005, CSU did the same in August, raising their forecast
From 15 named storms to 22
From 8 hurricanes to 9 hurricanes
From 4 majors to 5 majors

Why?
Persistent high pressure over southeastern US
Northeastward displacement and amplification of the ITCZ over the eastern Pacifc
Above average sea surface temps in the Gulf of Mexico
These factors reduced vertical shear
High pressure area steered storms into the Gulf
ENSO was in neutral phase
The loop current, typically in the Yucatan Peninsula, propagated northward, enhancing ocean heat content to all 3 hurricanes and was partially responsible for extreme intensities.
 
EURO hanging with ICON to this spot.....scary aligned....weekend into next week...

This is the threat for development I’d be more worried about. The GFS western Caribbean and Gulf crap is not only further out but just complete garbage. Never trust the LR GFS when it spins up TCs off S America convection especially when it’s alone in that solution.

Icon sniffed out Isias pretty early.
We will see if it hits again.
 
I’ve never heard of a hurricane outbreak. Have we had one before? Just curious if that wording has been used before.
I’m probably not the one to answer this question but someone did find a map that finds matching analogs to the pattern thats set to occur. I see some worrisome years in there.
