If Peej is saying the Gulf is closed to hurricanes, I’m packing up the wife and kids and I’m leaving for Utah tomorrow.

Wtf? A couple hours ago it was only a 10% chance over the next several days.

The chances for development ramp up fast.

Right now, everything points to a Central American hit but given its October we have to watch for something coming from the N and opening a door in the ridge allowing the system North too.

Where is the OP getting that image? When I go to the NHC, it tells me that disturbance has a less than 30% chance of developing into a depression.

His graphic is right. This is from this morning, 40% is orange.

Formation chance through 48 hours...low...30 percent.

It depends what you look for. This is ALSO from this morning on the front page at nhc.noaa.gov/:



In order to get OP's graphic, you have to look for a five day tropical forecast. Even then, the bulletin still says it only has a 40% chance. The graphic from the OP makes that appear much higher. There's a big difference between a 5-day 40% outlook and a graphic showing up to 60% when that's not what the official forecast states. Not OP's fault, as NOAA creates the graphic. But either the graphic is misleading and the bulletin is hedging, or vice-versa.

Huh?

The orange represents a 40-60% chance of developing within 5 days, hence the 5 day outlook, but only a 30% chance within 2 days, hence the yellow, 2 day outlook. The discussion says 40% which again is in the range of orange.

I'm not sure what your issue is with it.

If the official forecast is 40% over five days, why make a graphic that makes it appear greater than that, that's all. Not a knock on OP. It is NHC that is posting a graphic that is showing higher than the official forecast. If the chances are as stated in the latest bulletin, 40%, why make that orange instead of keeping it at yellow? That's all. If they expect the odds are greater than 40%, they should state that in the official forecast.

Man, please get a second cup of coffee or something.

It's a range.

0-39% = Yellow/Low
40-59% = Orange/Medium
60-99% = Red/High

You have to read the discussion in order to see what percentage they are forecasting.

40% chance of development has always been orange.

For some reason this discussion reminds me of the Airplane! White Zone/Red Zone bit. (Sorry, can't link Youtube on a work computer):

quote:

Male PA Announcer: The white zone is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers only. There is no stopping in a red zone.

Female PA Announcer: The white zone is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers only. There is no stopping in a red zone.

Male PA Announcer: The red zone is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers only. There is no stopping in a white zone.

Female PA Announcer: No, the white zone is for loading. Now, there is no stopping in a RED zone.

Male PA Announcer: The red zone has always been for loading.

Female PA Announcer: Don't you tell me which zone is for loading, and which zone is for unloading.

Male PA Announcer: Look Betty, don't start up with your white zone shiite again. There's just no stopping in a white zone.

Female PA Announcer: Oh really, Vernon? Why pretend, we both know perfectly well what this is about. You want me to have an abortion.

Male PA Announcer: It's really the only sensible thing to do. If its done safely, therapeutically, there's no danger involved.

This right here is certainly a take.

The colors on the graphic represent 40% over 5 days. Seems accurate to me.
