2020 Atlantic Hurricane Season Running Thread

I was checking this out earlier (but honestly don't go to lengths unless a southern U.S. landfall is likely).
The system in the Gulf should be a rain maker, but it doesn't look like it will have a chance to form into a real storm.
TD 7 has a shot. It's going to come off coast of South America and get fed by the warm waters. Only one model has it with a shot of turning north and impacting the U.S. Most have whatever it does maintaining course pretty much westerly.

 

I have friends in Jacksonville. They're rooting for a hurricane for the first time in history -- timed so it forces them to cancel the Republican Convention. Nothing serious ... just a nice little Cat 1.5 or so.

 

A hurricane might actually get the Co-Vid numbers down in this state for a couple of days.

 

A tropical storm grinding its way up the northeast Florida coast Aug. 26-27 would be useful for a lot of different reasons.

 

The storm in the Gulf is now officially TS Hana and looks like it will produce some heavy winds and rain impacting the southern Texas coast on Saturday.
Gonazlo is slow moving and starting to spin. Most of the models still have it on more of a westerly track with slight angling into the Gulf. It will really have to turn to make the east coast.
There is a third system building up off the African coast right now that everyone is keeping an eye on because it if does gather steam, the models have it heading northwest.

 

Well, Hana became our first hurricane (barely). It slowed on its course enough to hit hurricane winds.

 

It would be so 2020 if a hurricane killed no people but somehow wiped out the virus.

 

Or worse, spread it like wildfire with 75 mph winds.

 

"Covidcane" is on track to premiere Thanksgiving night on SyFy.

 

Right after "Life After People."

 

I liked it better when both of those shows were speculative fiction, and not in-progress documentaries.

 

Hanna is targeting perhaps the sparsest-settled area in anywhere in Texas, the Kenedy Ranch south of Corpus. Everything is good.
