I still think we will have 2 or 3 storms in September....However, if we don't get our "C" Storm by the end of August and IF on September 1st, conditions are not looking any better than they are right now, I'll probably drop my up to letter "G" prediction down to "E" or "F", and that's ONLY if by September 1st there is still nothing in sight..........

Well, if you end up being right, I'll be the first to congratulate you.....Although if I end up being right, I'll be the first to congratulate myself

Just to point out 0/0/0 in August is physically impossible as August is already 1/1/0.
Bertha is almost certainly a JULY system, not an August

Even though Arthur didn't get named until 11am July 1st it is still a June still storm since it's first advisory was issued on June 30th @ 11pm, right?

I believe everything goes off UTC, not local, so June 30th would be July 1st UTC.

from another thread, we dont want any of those monsoon systems to develop because the heat potential could cause a Wilma or Mitch situation so this is one of those times I'm hoping that shear stays there

Shear across the Caribbean has risen from below normal to near normal. In the coming days it will continue to increase possibly even 40-50kts+ (look east of central America). The trend has been up from last week and remain so for the foreseeable future. MDR is kind of a wash for the time being.
Shear is above normal now but confined the the southern Caribbean, the graveyard. The Relative Humidity forecast is changing as well, with a lot less super dry air around compared to the last few weeks at the 700MB layer.

In looking at the GFS 12Z 200mb charts, its true that upper level shear for once, is not the inhibiting factor for near term development. I did see the small jet of shear enhanced by a small upper high pushing up from S. America but this is NOT a 5 degree wide feature plowing eastward from a Pacific El Nino; According to the forecast maps, this feature is purely transitory and in fact gone in about 36 hours. A more menacing shear zone (resembling some TUTT?) does appear from the Southeast Caribbean shooting north into the Atlantic, however models not only depict this feature to move westward by the building upper ridging from the east, but this feature likely is aiding the upper air diffluence for the forming system to its east.

Even if we don't get anything of significance in the East Atlantic this season, the potency of tropical waves has been impressive--and to be expected given several factors. The Gulf of Guinea is cold, African rainfall has been generally above-average, and, the most recent change, the Indian Ocean has gone sharply negative (lowest since September 2010).

This August 20 - September 20 timeframe is when the majority of hurricanes and US landfalls happen. Even slow seasons always have a week or two where conditions allow a quick spurt of several storms forming.

I am not a meteorologist, and any posts made by me are not official forecasts or to be interpreted as being intelligent. These posts are just my opinions and are probably silly opinions.

Yeah, this season's not over yet, it takes only one big storm to make the season a memorable one. During this August 20-September 20 timeframe, everyone in hurricane-prone areas of the U.S. should be prepared even though this is an inactive season.

Hurricanes are an amazing natural phenomena. While many are spiraling pits of evil that kill people or cause devastation, some are tame and stay clear of land.

Noticed yesterday TWC for the first time I think showed the Vertical Instability chart for the Tropical Atlantic for 2014 to date.

And yet there are some posters on here who take every model run a month out as certainty and run with it claiming post after post the lid is about to come off, business is about to pick up, etc etc. And look at that one thunderstorm cloud swirl thats showing some twisting that is going to develop and be our next invest, soon to be hurricane yada yada yada.

Re: Thoughts on rest of 2014 N Atlantic Hurricane season
So in less than 24 hours we've gone from season cancel post after season cancel post, to... a "potential" serious landfalling Hurricane threat! Make no mistake about it. The conditions in the NW carib and GOM will be very favorable for development and the heat content of the water is very dangerous! I (N gulf coast) for one am hoping I don't have to deal with this thing! But as for season cancel....GAME OVER!!!
