August ACE forecast: Today’s Euro Weeklies vs yesterday’s (using 2005-24 base)

8/4-10: 0.9 vs 0.8
8/11-17: 1.5 vs 1.9
8/18-24: 1.6 vs 2.1
8/25-31: 1.2 vs 1.1

Overall, I’d call this slightly less active than yesterday’s run but still a good bit more active than 2005-24 average ACE for August as a whole.
GFS and EURO have basically nothing thru mid-AUG. Is the MJO still coming?
 
Im not sure if this is the same TD the ukmet was showing

It’s from the same front. GFS also has it.

For the first time this season, the latest UKMET (12Z) has a TC in the MDR (moving WNW):

Based loosely on the 12Z Euro/UKMET/GEFS, the 6Z/0Z GEFS, the 0Z EPS, yesterday’s Euro Weeklies, and the forecasted MJO, it appears to me that there’s a somewhat enhanced chance of a TS/H threat around the NE Caribbean ~8/9-10, around the Bahamas/FL ~8/12-13, and either the US Gulf coast or the US E coast ~8/14-16. This isn’t an explicit forecast but rather just notable hints of what may be to come for those areas.

Followup for same AEW: 12Z EPS is somewhat ominous/more active for the Bahamas/CONUS during Aug 12-16. *Potential* mid August threat from NE Caribbean to CONUS as it appears now:

*Edit: I’m counting a whopping 50% of 12Z EPS members with a TC from this one AEW. That’s quite high for this far out for the often rather conservative EPS. In addition, there are 5 TC members from the followup AEW threatening the NE Caribbean to Bahamas.

Edit: The new Euro Weeklies are notably active again for mid to late August.

We could use a system in the Carolinas and GA right now to break the severe drought we are going into. Hopefully the models are on to something as long as it does not get too strong.
 
Right why even look at the op that changes every 6 hours. I don't get it. It's pointless and a waste of time and bandwidth. The ensembles are always better

Like come on
Even of the gfs showed a 950mb monster cane hitting the EC at 300 hours its 100% going to be wrong. The ensemble however has a huge increase in activity at 18z.

I keep telling you to wait... Most of the activity last few years has been in September and October anyway. I don't know what the point is of posting every model run to show nothing

We're gonna have plenty of hurricanes at some point. Believe me

Perhaps, but if the AUG burst doesnt happen even JB says another dead time is coming in Sept

It's been dead plenty of times right now and goes off almost every year

Why are you worried... Would it even been that bad if the season was dead
???

I kind of hope everyone is wrong and it is dead honestly

Do you honestly want another Florence into Wilmington?

I think with some of there’s not storms every 3 days from June to November then it’s dead. I wonder if the same people ever went through a Fran, Dennis or Floyd? Yes it’s a weather site but posting models every 6 hours doesn’t change an outcome!

Right how anyone in coastal NC can be cheering for a hurricane is beyond me. Did we not just see what Helene did in the mountains???? In the final days of September like I said before

Like do people actually want that on the coast? This isn't like snow

Tell that to all the Hurricane and tornado chasers who hope and pray for tornados and hurricanes to form, and they want cat 4's and 5's.

1. I’m not at all defending them for praying for violent storms away from their homes, but that’s not apples to apples as they’re chasing as opposed to being home.
