2023 Atlantic Hurricane Season Running Thread

Yay, we get our turn with a hurricane on the West Coast! … well it will be a TS when it hits Cali, but HURRICANE!!

 

It’s been hot and weirdly humid this whole week. Rain will be nice. But I suspect my So Cal peeps are going to not be as stoked as I am.

 

I see fish storms.

 

The Dodgers, Padres and Angels are all at home this weekend. I guess the rare SoCal rainout is in play.

 

Dodgers-Florida and Angels-Tampa Bay are the only visits this season. Padres-Arizona, I don't know if the Diamondbacks visit again.

Scheduling woes if it rains all day Saturday and Sunday.

 

And in some areas, Week Zero for high school football.

 

The yellow one in the middle has a curve track that I don't like, but it only has a 10% chance of formation at this point.

 

Yeah, based on the most recent discussion, if any of them reach land they'll be disorganized bands of rain. The easternmost storm has the potential to be a TS but the forecaster predicts that's the extent of its growth over the next week.

One of those times where the picture needs a 1,000 words.

 

That one looks like it’ll turn for the northeast before it gets to the Bahamas.

 

Decades of watching hurricanes has taught me never to take a storm track for granted. I've seen too many of them move off in unexpected directions, or stop and double back, or do things that people were praying they wouldn't do. I'm a watch and see kinda guy on these.

Yeah, the projections are fine. I just don't trust them worth a damn.

At least Cali is going to get to bank more water, whatever part of it does not just drain back out into the Pacific.
