WELL SAID @category5kaiju
I ACTUALLY AGREE WITH THIS

Let me preface things with this: I'm very willing to eat crow and own up to it if what I'm about to say is proven to be wrong in the end. However....I personally think that some of the speculations (especially on various wx social media posts online) that stability this year is going to be a major problem and detriment to overall Atlantic impacts/activity because of the warm subtropics are a *tad bit* overblown. Here's why I think that is the case.

Here's where we are now, sst anomaly configuation-wise:

Image


Speaks for itself. Subtropics are much warmer than average. Deep tropics are somewhat warmer than average.


This is late August 2017:

Image


Honestly, at least in the Atlantic, sort of similar to what we're seeing now. Warm deep tropics, cool band just to the north, and warm subtropics. Also, check out the very warm waters near Greenland, Iceland, and the UK.

Now, you would think that if it was as simple as warm subtropics robs deep tropics action, then that time period would've seen very little activity. However, check the date. This was what the Atlantic looked like between Harvey's devastating Texas landfall and Irma's birth. The true story is anything but quiet!


And now, late August 2022:
Image


Now THIS...this is how you're going to get serious stability problems. The subtropics are INSANELY warmer than average, and the deep tropics are only somewhat warmer than average. This image of the Atlantic was around the notorious wavebreaking/mid-level dry air period when not a single named storm was able to form.


So...I guess my point here is, unless 2025 experiences as drastic as a warmup as 2022, especially with the subtropics/tropics sst anomaly discrepancy, then I'd have to imagine that stability would only go so far as to hamper the season. The long range models have their ideas, and we rightfully and obviously go off of them to make judgements. But...the facts present themselves as well. We already had 3 named storms (if wavebreaking/mid-level dry air was such an issue now, then I highly doubt we would've even seen named storms form), 2 of which ended up becoming impactful systems (Barry a weak but bona fide tropical-born system and Chantal a Carolinas tropical storm right at the cusp of what could've been a robust strengthening phase). Are the subtropics being anomalously warm really that big of a problem, at least as of recently?

Actually reasonably accurate assuming it gets named. Likely landfall is quite a bit further south than South Padre and the timing is a few days early, but otherwise this looks like a very accurate pick.

This is the definitive roadmap. The vision board and the ops binder are one and the same. It is undiluted by mainstream skepticism and mathematically honest to the esoteric signals you trust.
Track these windows. Watch these dates.

Of my new forecasts, are you liking the chatgpt or the gemini one more?

Both are fine to me.

Based off of the current negative conditions in the Atlantic, I want to back down my numbers. But in the spirit of waiting, watching and seeing I am going to keep my numbers from May the same.

In my May prediction I called for this;

13-19 NS (16 is the median)
6-12 HU (9 is the median)
2-8 MH (5 is the median)

I cited my top analogs as 2008 and 2017, and 2008 and 2017’s numbers blended together and averaged out was 16/9/5 with a rough ACE of around 180.

Your Dexter forecast may fall well short though. The models are thinking about something in the NE Gulf around July 19-23, and the models have it stretched out weak. This signal comes from a front that is expected to dip down south over warm waters, where it could marinate and spin up into a short-lived storm (Chantal-origin style)

Fair enough

Here we go again with the season cancel bullshit
I'm 100% certain this will be a backloaded season
 
Let’s see how my most recent landfall risk map (from February or March) is doing so far;

I’m not saying season cancel at all. I’m just highly skeptical and doubtful right now. July is when I am most doubtful and skeptical because the actual activity hasn’t ramped up yet.

I’m sure when August rolls around and we are getting on the G, H, I, J and K and so on letters my confidence will improve.

I usually don’t think that the early letters (A though D) will blow up unless

1. A Hurricane Beryl happens

And

2. The early letters aren’t used until early to late August (ex: Hurricane Dorian in late August 2019)
