Yes the models will take that into account but depends on how strong each is on the model vs reality.

As to how they factor steering mechanisms I don’t remember exactly since it’s been a few years since I took tropical but yea.




I figure the most likely impact would be 14 weakening the ATL ridge on exit and having 13 slide farther east but that's a function of 14's strength and timing.

Looking at those gradients I’d say probably a 3 maybe low end chance of a 4

What's concerning about these storms is they don't really have any data to go on since this has never happened before. The models haven't been good so far this hurricane season and even now you have to question stuff like the intensity forecasts on TD14 since it could ramp up sitting in hot waters without much to impede it. Doesn't seem like the models are accounting for this much. There's more shear over the Gulf projected and how that impacts the intensity isn't certain due to the land interaction it's going to do. Of course this is assuming the shear happens like the models are predicting over the Gulf. There's still a lot of questions with both storms but I'm kinda nervous on these a bit.

We could have a TS zeroing in on Sabine Pass and a hurricane zeroing in on the mouth-of-the river by Tuesday.

Leps got the face shield out with no mask during class. I guess that's his form of self protest.

I would imagine that 14 ‘ upper outflow would induce a downstream trough to the east causing 13 to turn more northerly before southeast Florida.

I'm not sure the timing would work for a turn that soon but I'm with you on the idea of 14 opening an earlier N and NE turn for 13.

14 looks like it could be a bitch, it has convection all around.

13 is very lopsided and has work to do before it can strengthen much

Well Ill try an anser here but One storm is deep in the Carribean and has to go through Mexico whih could tear it apart... The other storm looks like it will miss any land mass that could harm it. which is not good.. However there is a HIGH pressure system in the Atlantic that will shape where this storm goes......If the high pressure seems to go away. it will be effecting the second storm and make it go north instead of west..............

Hopefully 14 gets named first because it would really grind my OCD gears if the storm that's farther out got the "earlier" name.

The 97L & 98L swap to TD14 & TD13 was rough enough.

Snip snap, snip snap.

No it won't. Yucatan is flat and marshy. Stop posting about stuff you know nothing about.

at flight level the HH are finding 30-34 kts (35-40 mph)...

don't know if they'll find that at the surface though

Could have 14 be an open wave ? Don’t see pressures less than 1010 mb and Southeast winds at 800 gpm

they're only in TD14 at the moment... don't see a plane headed to TD13 yet

It's still hauling at like 18 mph, so wouldn't be surprised if there really isn't much of a west wind there. I'm sure they'll keep it a depression officially but I was surprised they gave it the designation initially.
