Tropical Hurricane Francine

12Z UKMET: similar C LA landfall location/timing (PM of 9/11) to 0Z run but stronger at 990 mb vs 996 mb. (Winds at landfall of 40 knots too light imo due to model bias this far out.) Also, this run then goes NNE up Miss River to Memphis instead of NE to far E TN:

I'm keeping a close eye on this invest from southern LA, believe me! We've had a relatively quiet season thus far, but as history has shown, it only takes one nasty storm to make the season an infamous one.

Ironically, if this were to hit the US as a H and based on the model consensus timing, it would be the earliest 3rd H hit on the CONUS since way back in 2005! Only 10 of 173 years since 1851 (6%) would have had an earlier 3rd H hit with only 2 of those during the internet era. They are 2005, 2004, 1985, 1934, 1933, 1916, 1893, 1886, 1879, and 1871. So, in this way at least, not at all a quiet season so far.

Edit: Oops, I somehow left off 2020, which had its 3rd H landfall on LA on 8/27 (Ida). So, it hasn’t been since 2005. Revises it from 10 to 11 of the 173 years (still 6%) with #3 before the expected upcoming LA landfall.
