2020 Global ACE: NATL - 179.8 - EPAC - 76.5 - WPAC - 148.5 - NIO - 19.2

[toad strangler]

North Atlantic begins to acelerate in the count to 100 units.

Yeah these low ACE talks are going to become obsolete within the next few days. The Atlantic will be dealing with it's most substantial ACE increase by far in the coming days. Wouldn't be surprised if we had 100-120 ACE by the end of this week.

Just like ALL of the others this season. SAL, SST's, Mid Level Dry Air, and on and on.

And just like that, the NATL has officially passed the WPAC in ACE

Also, Paulette ties Laura for top single-storm ACE.

Almost, but it will at the 5 PM block.

It's officially impossible now to lag with the ACE for any given point because 68 is the minimum number for the "near normal"/average range.

What do you mean by this? I thought the normal ACE was near 100.

66-110 is the 'near normal' or average range, with 89 being the median. Anything over 110 is above normal.

Isn't hyperactive 153?

It appears so, something I was mistaken on as I thought it was over 165. But 111+ is still above normal.

NAtl getting ready to pass the WPac again in ACE, though the latter still holds a commanding TIKE lead.

[Blinhart]

Could we possibly set an all time high record in storms and ACE? What is the record for ACE in the NATL?

[1900hurricane]

259.4275 units in 1933.

1933 had 258 ACE
2005 had 250 ACE

So far 2020 has 74. We are at less than 30% of the record.

Yeah but Teddy should get probably 50 or so in ACE, depending on how strong he gets and how long he lasts, plus Paulette could be around for another week or 2, and Sally might reform once she gets back offshore the coast of NC/SC. Also we have another 3 months left in the year.

[Hypercane_Kyle]

Thinking after Teddy we end up with an ACE ~110.

Paulette is already post-tropical and therefore not ACE generating. Teddy will be strong but 50 ACE would put it in the Top 10 all time. It will be moving too fast (and therefore too short-lived) to generate more than 30 ACE.

They say that Paulette might regain either Tropical or Sub-tropical characteristics, therefore gaining ACE again. Teddy and the models can't agree on what he will do, I think we can have 2 or 3 more storms that gain at least 25 points. And all the other storms that will form who knows how much they will form. However 260 would be hard to reach but the way this season is going I think it is possible.

Regardless of the ACE record (which seems pretty safe) that storms record has a great chance at falling.

[storminabox]

I personally believe that we'll end up with 150-170 ACE by the time the season is over. Let's see how I do.
