Tropical 2025 Tropical Thread

I dont think Rick Knabb has seen the latest GFS. He is talking about ridging all across the ATL when the ridge is replaced with a trof off the coast. Also, he just said the models are showing this latest rain and trof over the SE is the last and the pattern is going to change. However, the 18Z GFS shows a repeat of the pattern with yet another trof-low over the SE with lots of rain.

JB says it. Watch the eastern GOM. Very often when a major cane threatens the US a weak storm forms ahead of it


That's like saying during peak hurricane season, of all times of the year for this to happen, that a tropical storm is followed by a hurricane that's followed by another tropical storm that is once again followed by a major hurricane with only one of them making landfall.
 
0Z UK has it again and it’s stronger (TS) though it’s further N:

945mb lurking east of the Bahamas at 240. Last few frames it was turning NNW but looks like the ridge is starting to build back in over the east coast so wonder if we will see a move back towards the SE coastline

I'm more of a cool weather lover, so what the GFS is showing the last couple of runs. The 0z has a tropical storm quickly becoming extra-tropical as it hits the NC coast (as shown above). Because of the transition it's able to pull down cool/dry temps. 0z GFS day 13 dewpoints:

The 6z run keeps the storm farther off the coast but still helps pull down cool/dry air. You can guess what outcome I'm pulling for...

CFS has lots of very cool dry air for AUG-Sept/
 
Makes it more likely it stays OTS based off the models I believe, which would be for the better, but if it doesn't, there's Irma and Florence, with both having been problematic.
Im hoping it intensifies quickly so it can move out and get out of the way.
 
As long as we keep getting the mean ridge axis to settle out west, hopefully, there will be an OTS escape route, unless something takes the low road into the Gulf. Lots of blocking continuing up in Canada too.
