2020 Atlantic Hurricane Season Running Thread

It's quiet out there. Too quiet.

 

The lull before the storm (crossthread cliche).

 

What could go wrong now?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

Screw that. I'm headed to the beach in two weeks.

 

This is what we sports people know as "shooting the gap."

 

Not a great week for scuba diving in Cozumel.

"Gamma is expected to produce heavy rainfall for several days over portions of southeastern Mexico, the Yucatan Peninsula, Central America, and far western Cuba. By Sunday night and Monday, a combination of a building low- to mid-level ridge over the Gulf of Mexico and a developing low pressure area over the northwestern Caribbean Sea should cause Gamma to turn fairly sharply to the west or southwest early next week. A slow southwest or west
motion is likely to continue into the middle of next week, and some of the models suggest that Gamma could become nearly stationary by the end of the forecast period."

 

What happens if Gamma becomes a shitkicker like Andrew or Katrina? Do they retire a whole letter of the Greek alphabet or substitute a Cyrillic letter?

 

I was looking at this yesterday but didn't post it.
Both yellow disturbances are listed at less than 20% chance of development. Seeing as how I'm leaving next Saturday for my annual fishing trip, you can bet both will form up nicely and head directly for Onslow Bay by about next Sunday.

 

ь --- Hurricane Myagkiy Znak (soft sign) would be a silent killer. It's not pronounced; just softens the consonant that precedes it.

 

If you’re on the Gulf Coast, leave.

Jambalaya, crawfish pie and fillet gumber
For tonight I'm-a gonna need a lot more lumber
Clothes are packed, sand bags stacked, no one's gay-o
Son of a gun, it's another big one aimed at the Bayou.
