The 00z GFS is absolutely bonkers and likely in fantasy land for number of sub-1001 mb storms forming. It shows a messy CAG for the first half of November.

Here's what I got from it.

1. Hurricane Eta (Nov 2) CAT 1 landfall Nicaragua
2. (Sub)tropical Storm Theta (Nov 6) quick formation and landfall in Southwestern Spain a la Vince 2005
3. Tropical Storm Iota (Nov 7) forms in the Central Caribbean from the CAG shortly after Eta. Heads northeast toward DR where it interests with a low over Lesser Antilles
4. (Sub)tropical Storm Kappa (Nov 9) forms in Central Atlantic
5. Tropical Storm Lambda (Nov 12) forms in northwestern Caribbean from the CAG
6. (Sub)tropical Storm Mu (Nov 14) forms after breaking away from Iota after separating from Iota and heads east and does a Fujiwhara dance with decaying Kappa.

Obviously this is extremely unlikely to occur. The whole Eta then another storm from the CAG is very possible however I do not think there will be 3 (sub)tropical storms in the Eastern and Central Atlantic within 8 days and ANOTHER CAG system develop 5 days after the previous Caribbean storm which isn't even Eta but instead the storm that formed after...not looking probable.

Crazy stuff for the first 2 weeks of November. SIX storms in 15 days would be absolutely absurd even if it occurred in September. It would push the 2020 storm count to 33, 12, 4 which would be in itself a very odd ratio.

The Eastern Pacific also has TS/Hurricane Odalys form November 3 and Hurricane Polo on November 9 which sticks around for 5 days.

The Euro run from a few days ago has Eta on November 2, a possible subtropical storm Theta around November 5 near southwestern Spain and maybe Iota and Kappa in the Atlantic around November 8 but likely just Iota.

The CMC has Eta on October 31 which dives into Honduras on November 4 a la Mitch. It also develops a freak subtropical storm Theta on November 7 just west of Portugal and a possible (sub)tropical Iota a day later in the Central Atlantic.

The NAVGEM has Eta on November 3 and a possible subtropical storm Theta on November 5 again just east of Portugal.

From these model runs, it's clear early November will be quite active. I believe 2 or 3 storms is in the cards.

I think 2 or 3 storms in November. Considering this season exceeds pretty much all my expectations so far, I'll go with 3.

GFS-Para has a weird solution for Hurricane Theta: a weak TS taking a Lenny-like track between the DR and Puerto Rico, stalling for a bit once it’s north of the islands, then turning towards the Bahamas and bombing out into a Cat 4. Oh, and it also has Cat 1 Hurricane Iota in the Gulf.

I will eat my hat if we have a major north of the Greater Antilles this November.

I am only a meteorology enthusiast who knows a decent amount about tropical cyclones. Look to the professional mets, the NHC, or your local weather office for the best information.

The latest GFS-Para run is absolutely insane. It's not going to verify, but the signs are there that we may see multiple storms in the 1st half of November.

Not much surprises me this year, in fact I fully expect a Christmas hurricane to finish off 2020 based on how this year has been.

I just hope the Northern Gulf Coast is closed until next year.

The Para seems to love to split energy and spin up two storms (or more.) But that really never happens.

Euro is sniffing out multiple storms in the Caribbean after Eta too.

It may not be over anytime soon per 12Z GEFS and this isn't the end of the run! :eek:

The GFS-Para has the source of this system in the Caribbean as early as 180-200 hours out, so it’s not impossible.

If this becomes another Delta/Eta, would 2020 be the first season to have more than one November major?

Now we just need to see if it drops development completely soon. Then it will be guaranteed to form the way models have been in 2020.

12z ICON is on board now. It shows a forming TD/TS in the Caribbean south of Hispaniola at the end of its run.

Nothing on the GEFS, albeit it's still running but ICON shows this developing at 180 hours.
