Tropical 2024 Tropical Thread Reboot

It is this nondevelopment well east that’s actually making it potentially more dangerous to land area in the W basin. The only way this late in the year something moving through the MDR has on record (back to 1851) hit land in the W basin is nondevelopment until near the longitude of the Lesser Antilles or further W.

If a ridge of high pressure ends up off the east coast in that time-frame, a system will not recurve and a good chance getting in the gulf, unfortunately. However, a trough coming down could change that since we are in mid October imo

Another exceptionally unusual thing is that many models have this system tracking WSW to one degree or another from near the Lesser Antilles to near the SE or Central American coast. Unusual at any time of year much less this deep into October!

12Z UKMET: keeps it near steady state through entire run, which ends with it moving slowly (<10 mph) WNW well N of the Greater Antilles (I’d have to see H5 maps to determine if that would likely recurve safely from the US):

After the recent tragedies regarding major hurricanes, it can be surmised that many want to believe newfound media and Internet comments suggesting that hurricane season is over. Now while we are seeing a largely quiet pattern across North America, with manageable temperatures and abundant sunshine, it seems probable that the tropics are going to throw a few more punches at the. I suspect the threat is growing for at least one more major hurricane strike into the eastern third of the USA, with another risk probable in the countries that rim the Caribbean Sea. We will see how things work out as far as the predictions, but 18 named storms, 11 hurricanes, and 6 major cyclones may just work out before the westerly flow aloft and colder, drier air masses end the season for good on November 30.

The hurricane forecast has some importance here, since we have a danger of interaction between baroclinic systems, as well as cold and dry air masses against the warm/humid tropical regimes. If you consider why Milton was such an awful event, the storm was starting to convert to an extratropical structure due to upper air influence. Increased vorticity against a three air mass convergence created maxi-tornadoes, which killed more people than the wind core and heavy rains which ripped up the Interstate 4 corridor. Now imagine such an amalgam hitting the Eastern Seaboard. I think it unwise to bring up an analog, but there are two standout Halloween storms that are not far from your memory, to be sure.

good ole Jb says watch 25th thru nov 13th time frame for hurricanes
 
Given the last few weeks, that's a concerning look to say the least. All eyes will be on the Atlantic in the days ahead.
 
Thankfully, it appears the threat from 94L to the US is waning. The system either is driven into the Greater Antillies where it dies or runs out of gas in the Bahamas and gets picked up by a east coast trough and whisked out to sea.

The clock is ticking on any further meaningful US landfalls.

Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
200 PM EDT Mon Oct 14 2024

For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

1. Central Tropical Atlantic (AL94):
A well-defined area of low pressure located roughly midway between
the Cabo Verde Islands and the Lesser Antilles is producing limited
shower and thunderstorm activity. This system is currently embedded
in a dry air environment, and development is unlikely over the next
couple of days. However, this system is forecast to move generally
westward toward warmer waters, and environmental conditions could
become more favorable for gradual development by the middle to
latter part of this week. A tropical depression could form as the
system begins moving west-northwestward and approaches or moves near
the Leeward Islands late this week.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...medium...60 percent.

2. Western Caribbean Sea:
A broad area of low pressure is likely to form over the southwestern
Caribbean Sea by the middle to latter portions of this week. Some
development is possible thereafter if the system stays over water
while it moves slowly west-northwestward towards northern Central
America. Regardless of development, locally heavy rainfall is
possible across portions of Central America later this week.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...20 percent.
