re: Hurricane Season - October -96L No Threat- Watching WCAB for System w/ High End Potential

That’s a long arse way out to really have any kind of predictions on what it may do

October long tracker?

Lets go

Too many fronts coming through. That one won’t make it on a long track before going OTS


Only way we get a gulf storm is a spin up in the Caribbean at this point

Spaghetti models mostly show this going out to see.

Can anyone tell me how they come up with the names of these waves?

Invest 94L, 90E etc... I know storm names are assigned at the beginning of the season but how are these preliminary designations made?

Those are used to define areas of interest. The NHC uses the numbers 90 - 99 and rotate back to 90 when they get to 99. The L, E, etc. refers to the area/basin the invest/system is in. L is for "Atlantic", E is for "Northeast Pacific", and so on, with every basin having it's own letter. The National Hurricane Center isn't the only forecasting body to use this method, pretty much all of them use it.

2. Southwestern Caribbean Sea:
A broad area of low pressure could form in a few days over the
central or southwestern Caribbean Sea. Gradual development
thereafter is possible while the system moves generally westward at
10 to 15 mph.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...20 percent.

Keep an eye on this. It probably gets pushed into Central America but has high end potential if it turns northward.

frick that

GFS has a nasty looking hurricane for south FL in the 230 hr range mid next week. Is this what you're referring to?
