The Euro remains an a-hole on the colder air but that blue bit over Texas should slide our way. Not nearly as glorious as the GFS though.

You, who are in all of our weather threads...

Nah, can't believe it.

If I ever end up writing forecast discussions in life, I am certain to have a high ratio of cringeworthy puns per discussion.

Random posts on Twitter are one thing. Discussions go in the record.

Funny to picture someone researching hurricanes in 2100 running across shite like that.

Not appreciating the joke because we all have synthetic hearts by that point, which makes me sad to think about.

I thought everyone who posts on TD is either a missile surgeon or a brain scientist.

Now we're talking. Jokers and one-eyed jacks are wild. Duke can cut the cards.

Latest map of ACE anomalies across the Atlantic so far this year. And 2005 for comparison.

One change in the track guidance since the previous
forecast is that the GFS and ECMWF are a bit faster on the westward
motion and show the center near the Texas coast in about 72 h. The
latter part of the new track forecast also shifts westward, but it
is still to the east of the GFS/ECMWF. There is also a chance that
Beta could move more northward than forecast before the trough lifts
out, which adds an additional touch of uncertainty to the track
forecast.
So, it is critical that users not focus on the exact
forecast track, especially at days 3 to 5.



We have already seen that today with a short term NE shift b/w track #4 & #5 but the NHC brings it back to basically the same spot by Sunday morning. The current convective pattern favors stretching of the low level vortex to the NE. With an upper level trough to the NW of the system the favored area for convection is downshear in the area of the best upper level divergence (between the red arrows). Continued intense convection in that area could add additional NE shifts to the track.



However, after looking at the 12z ensembles it isn't really clear that there will be any long term impacts from a short term track that is more northeastward.

For prespective - in 2005, Alpha and Beta formed in late October and we finished with Zeta after Christmas. At this pace, an Omicron or Pi isn't out of the question.

JFC, Tropical Storm Omicron for Christmas everybody!

You'll sometimes hear "right front entrance" of a jet during severe weather season. Well...there one is right there and you can see the result of more convection.

That's it for the aside.

Another try at recon this evening after getting canceled this morning.



Could be a bumpy ride given the intense convection. How far removed are those storms from the LLC? If close enough, then we might see some surprising data. If too far away, then probably just looks impressive on satellite.

Of course 2020 would give us a storm named “Beta”.
