Tropical 2022 Atlantic Hurricane Season thread

It is the day 10 Euro but...View attachment 121580
With the troughs we’ve seen coming into the east coast, I’ve felt all season that the eastern Gulf coast would have the highest chance of a threat. This look would be a classic Florida Panhandle hit with heavy rains spreading well out ahead up the east coast.

Would be nice to get a good soaking rain here.
 
Micheal 2?
Too much to iron out, but probably not. Michael really was the perfect storm, with a perfect environment and track to make a historic landfall. With Michael there was a huge moisture plume in place from the big ridge that would not die; here is about the opposite with lots of dry air entrenched across the southern states, shear would likely be a problem close to landfall as well. However much like Michael, the more eastward it would stay the stronger it would likely be at landfall if you take the environment verbatim.

Also you don’t need a Michael like setup to get a crushing hit.
 
The NAVGEM is the model I am siding with at this time with Fiona's impact on the environment.

Does anyone know the average amount of storms per year since record keeping began off of the top of their heads?
 
There’s probably going to be another nuke on the 0z GFS after Fiona exits. 7 days from now that area highlighted by the NHC is already at 967mb west of Jamaica.
 
This actually may be the one. Crazy how far south this is and may even brush the coast of South America, if it survives the graveyard of the Atlantic (which all signs indicate it should) really no exit route at that point. Then it becomes all about environmental conditions, land interactions, etc on just how strong or weak it will be.

Landfall that far south very rarely ever translates into any fun winds here. We could use the rain but it's almost deer season and dry is fine right now. We would need a miracle like some sort of jet help to get the wind up this far
 
The eastern side of the Gulf up the Apps probably should really watch this very carefully. We are transitioning into a fall time pattern with a lot of toughs swinging through and this is just begging to be picked up pulled NE once it gets into the Gulf.
 
Euro and GFS worlds apart on development however, end result very similar but the euro very slow development and GFS has a TC within 48 hrs... I'd lean Euro here. That slow development could have track impact down the line, time will tell
 
Or a hard turn . It’s ours . Watch the Atlantic .
I mean anything is possible....... rare but possible

The area is looking very disturbed this morning on satellite with a lot of strong thunderstorm activity.

Yeah pretty vigorous this morning, let's see who wins the first forecast battle.... GFS with early development or not
 
This may bring more rain to PR and the COC could pass relatively close if this tracks in the wake of Fiona as some guidance suggest. The operational NAVGEM remains steady with this idea and has support from the GFS ensembles.

Of course this would come at the worst time for my family. We're supposed to race our wiener dog at the Cary Oktoberfest on October 1st. If the GFS was right, this would be the look at race time:

Luckly things will/may change as we get closer.
