Could be chaser. Certainly this isn't an optimal season. However, if we do get another pulse - even if it only brings in one new storm plus Isaac, you still have to figure that we'll see another 2-3 named storms in October somewhere in the Atlantic. It would probably put us slightly ahead of an average season. As of now, I think we're at 10-5-1. Average season is like 12/6/3 or close to that. ACE is currently at 64.1 and we should get at least another 8-15 points over the next couple of days. So we're getting very close to average there as well. 67-110 (or so) is considered average, so we're almost certainly going to fall somewhere within that range by the end of the season.

12Z GFS poofs Isaac in the Western Caribbean and you can see the open wave heading toward the Yuacatan. Not a fan of that NW movement though.

Model performance has been poor in my opinion on this. Most had Issac remaining strong up to the islands and it has been badly sheered and barely hanging on so those forecasts bombed. The fact that the models are flip flopping between development and dissipation tells me they don't have a good handle. It comes down to will it survive the next 48-72hrs and if so I think watch out in the W. Caribbean.

Not really true. The GFS and Euro had between a 1003-1007mb system heading to the islands for around 5 days (or more) now, and the HWRF had a nasty system heading right over it. The HWRF hasn't performed well (on intensity), but both the GFS and Euro have done exceptionally well until this point. A few runs of the GFS had something slightly more stout, but consistently over the course of its runs, it's been fairly good.


The numbers don't lie. See below. The Euro has performed the worst in the in the short term while the HWRF was much better. Yes as time goes out the HWRF got bad but that is the HWRF tendency with these types of systems to ramp them up too fast. Notice the Official NHC was also not that great in the mid range. Point is none of the models saw this mid level shear that has ripped this system with a llc racing way out in front of the mid level circ. The models for days were showing a vertically stacked system approaching the islands only to weaken in the central Caribbean. Goes to show you the models are still not great and predicting mid level shear. I still think once it slows down it may have a chance further west because it is one thing to have to deal with shear but moving at 20mph is never going to stack this up.

Nice. Does it go further back than 5 days?

At least the Euro is more consistent now. Before it was development one run to poof another run. :D

Whatever it is here is very weak.

As long as EURO shows something even if minimal should be concerning. IMO

EURO ensembles in about 30 min. We'll see.

It's just one run. What we're looking for is trends, not really intensity. It looks ragged as hell right now, so I still have my doubts that it even survives the Western Caribbean, but the NHC thinks it does so we'll see in a few days!

Back to back EURO runs show a storm generally into SW Louisiana

Right and days before it went from poof to weak system heading west to poof, so I agree with what you're suggesting, but a few days ago, the trend was dying out in the western Carribean too, multiple runs in a row. In your opinion, does this Euro trend outweigh the previous days trends?

Here is a model breakdown

00Z EURO brought Issac into far SW Louisiana

12z EURO brought Issac into SW Louisiana..but weaker......

FWIW..CMC takes Issac into the TX/MX border....
ICON moves Issac into the Gulf moving NW near the Louisiana coast as a 969mb Hurricane....
JMA 1003 mb storm moving into the NW gulf.
GFS...not much
HWRF...weak.

Keep an eye on Issac..Nothing to be worried about right now..just stay weather aware...
EURO ensembles out in less than an hour...

It should, being one or two days closer to the event (the storm dying off or not.)

12z ensembles are way less aggressive than 0z for the Euro. Still have to keep an eye out though.

I know shear can change and fast, but it's only a day or two away from the expanding shear area. I wonder if this is what causes the (at least temporary) dissipation that models are seeing. It's already ragged as hell, high shear will kick it in the teeth.

I remember back when the Caribbean was a favorable area for development. It seems like for the past several years now its been a shredder, though.

Well, the post 2004/2005 steroid era there are just two systems to come out of the Caribbean (genesis there) that impacted the United States. Yes, I know this is just not a US forum. But the US for context here .... by my estimate....

2012 - Sandy
2017 - Harvey
