Tropical Major Hurricane Laura

It's gonna be a long week and a half
Might be longer than that. We will be extremely lucky to get through the next 2 weeks without a US hit. I guess we can hope that any systems remain on the weak side. Things have been a mess out there so far this season...maybe that trend will continue. But I'm going with a 75% chance of a major making US landfall over the next 3 weeks...maybe multiple. Favoring the Gulf right now.
 
Need a lot of cold fronts, to help kick everything East, it’s that time of year we are getting them now to help save us. I worry about the gulf tho, anything in western Caribbean will explode and have no way out
 
Laura?

Satellite images indicate that a broad area of low pressure located
about 700 miles west-southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands has become
better organized since yesterday, with increasing banding features
near the center. Environmental conditions are conducive for further
development, and a tropical depression is likely to form within a
couple days while the system moves westward to west-northwestward
at 15 to 20 mph across the central and western portions of the
tropical Atlantic.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...60 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...90 percent.

Nice video by Levi about 98L




Thinking this is going to get better understood in the next 48 hours, once an area of known defined circulation forms and especially when a storm is formed.

Right now, models have no clue.
 
I don't think I've ever seen two storms threatening Florida and Texas at the same time lol

but it is 2020...

you'd have to think one would shear the other though?

Yeah, if that has happened, it would almost have to be an extremely rare event. I'm guessing that the stronger 97L GEFS members mainly have weak 98L and vice versa.

Suffice it to say, what 98L will or won't do and where it will go will be quite dependent on what 97L does and where it goes.
 
Uh nevermind about the ukmet that is definitely not a recurve look

I'm very curious to see if the Euro still recurves

View attachment 46616

Yeah, that is very scary with the 597 dm ridge moving westward in tandem. But the good news is that the UK has somewhat of a tendency to be too far left (a well known bias) due I think to too strong ridging to its north.

Good news on the 0Z EPS: much less active than any recent EPS: 898L is on the right near Hisp. 97L is on the left

Later the run gets much more active in the E GOM:
