Big ones for 2024

[JetFuel_SE]

I think storm names starting with "H" and after will be the big ones.

Helene will be a 35kt "waste of a name" over the Azores.

I recall JB going on an epic rant about Ernesto being robbed of being a hurricane one year (not sure which rotation)...that might put it in the "cursed to repeat" category like Emily and Issac

where was this on
youtube?

It think it was while he was with Accuweather

Which storms do you think are the big ones for 2024?

Alberto Beryl Chris Debby Ernesto Francine Gordon Helene Isaac Joyce Kirk Leslie Milton Nadine Oscar Patty Rafael Sara Tony Valerie William

My money is on Francine, Joyce, Nadine and a late season surprise from Tony.

I'm adding Gordon, Isaac and Oscar. Without actually planning it, I've got them in pairs which I believe may be a theme this season. Back to back biggies, a lull and a burst type of pattern repeating itself.

*Final*

ATLANTIC.
xxxx
I .ERNESTO:
A Caribbean-cruiser in July that will reach C4 for a moment before weakening. Similar track to Emily '05.

II .GORDON;
A brief (~5d) but powerful Category 4/5 hurricane in the GOM that will make life hell for the population somewhere in the USA at the end of July/beginning of August.

III .ISAAC:
A strong Category 2/3 hurricane that could be a threat to Europe or North Africa by mid-August.

IV .NADINE:
A long-lived CV Category 4/5 that will sail the open ocean for around 15+ days in search of land between the end of August and the beginning of September.

V .OSCAR:
Another long-lived CV Category 5 in the MDR that will also sail a lot and will be the 2nd strongest storm of 2024 (150 - 165 kt/925 - 910 mb) in the first half of September.

VI .CARIDAD:
A strong Category 3/4 with similar track to Eta/Iota '20, but which will weaken considerably before making landfall in Central America due to a failed and long EWRC in late September/early October.

VII .EMERY:
A powerful WCAR hurricane in the first half of October that will make a rapid and surprising intensification to Category 5 (+/- 145 kt) before doing an almost successful EWRC just before the landfall in the Yucatan peninsula, MX.

VIII .HEATH:
The strongest storm of the year (165 - 175 kt/900 - 880 mb), which will be a beautiful long-lived carib-cruiser, which will be a Category 5 and will remain as one for ~3 consecutive days as it moves slowly, until it crosses Cuba as a moderate C4 and then beginning to quickly head OTS in early November.
---------
EAST PACIFIC.
xxxx
I .EMILIA:
Your usual OTS Category 4 (or 5) in mid-July that isn't a threat to anybody. It will be the strongest storm of the 2024 EPac Season.

II .JOHN:
A very strong mid-C4 that later makes landfall in Sinaloa MX as a Category 2/3 hurricane in August.

III .MIRIAM:
A moderate Category 3 hurricane in early October that could be a threat to Baja California Peninsula.
