And this is definitely a change from about 4 days ago when Gabrielle was a naked swirl practically.
 
And as soon as I said that, the NHC upgraded Gabrielle to a 105 kt Cat 3

Yet another rapidly intensifying storm.

As for Ragasa, its headed for China, as is iCyclone. I think that will be his first chase in China.
 
For context of this slow hurricane season

18Z best track has Gabrielle at 115 kts (130 mph), which means it’s a Category 4 hurricane now.
 
I predicted 16/9/5 in my final preseason prediction in May.

Now here is my updated September prediction:

I expect the season will end on 15/7/3 pending a moderately active October-November timeframe.

My final prediction will be up on October 15.
————————————————————
My new range is:

13-17 NS
5-8 HU
2-4 MH

(^Includes storms that have occurred already)
————————————————————
Background on my predictions:
————————————————————
I watch the trends in models and in realtime as they occur. I then formulate analogs based off of these trends and data. I put out predictions starting in late-November for the following year’s hurricane season before the previous one has ended. I have do this since 2022 privately, but I put it out online for the first time in November 2024. I release my predictions once a month (November, December, January, February, March, April and May) before the season starts. I release my last prediction of the preseason in May and then lay it to rest for the summer.

I then release two final late season predictions in
September and October as corrections to my preseason numbers based off of how the season has progressed up to August. The final two predictions are meant to hew as closely as possible to whatever the season’s final numbers are.

RMKS/
1. FORMATION OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE IS POSSIBLE WITHIN
100 NM EITHER SIDE OF A LINE FROM 10.2N 138.4E TO 10.5N 134.3E
WITHIN THE NEXT 12 TO 24 HOURS. AVAILABLE DATA DOES NOT JUSTIFY
ISSUANCE OF NUMBERED TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNINGS AT THIS TIME.
WINDS IN THE AREA ARE ESTIMATED TO BE 18 TO 22 KNOTS. METSAT
IMAGERY AT 230000Z INDICATES THAT A CIRCULATION CENTER IS LOCATED
NEAR 10.2N 138.2E. THE SYSTEM IS MOVING WESTWARD AT 03 KNOTS.
2. REMARKS: THE AREA OF CONVECTION (INVEST 92W) PREVIOUSLY LOCATED NEAR
11.1N 138.2E IS NOW LOCATED 10.2N 138.2E, APPROXIMATELY 40.3 NM NORTH OF
YAP. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY (MSI) SHOWS PERSISTENT
DEEP CONVECTION CONSOLIDATING OVER A DEVELOPING LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION
CENTER. A 230035Z ASCAT VERIFIES A CLOSED CIRCULATION HAS DEVELOPED,
WITH 15-20 KNOT WINDS WRAPPING FROM THE NORTH OF THE CIRCULATION CENTER.
THE ENVIRONMENT IS FAVORABLE FOR DEVELOPMENT WITH WARM SEA SURFACE
TEMPERATURES (29-30 C) AND MODERATE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (15-20 KTS) AND
GOOD EQUATORWARD OUTFLOW ALOFT. GLOBAL DETERMINISTIC MODELS ARE IN GOOD
AGREEMENT THAT 92W WILL INTENSIFY OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS. GLOBAL
ENSEMBLE MODELS ARE IN AGREEMENT AS WELL THAT 92W WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE
WESTWARD AND INTENSIFY OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED SURFACE
WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 18 TO 22 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS
ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 1007 MB. THE POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A
SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS IS HIGH.
3. THIS ALERT WILL BE REISSUED, UPGRADED TO WARNING OR CANCELLED BY
