Re: Expert forecasts for the 2017 North Atlantic Hurricane Season
Notice how many of the moderate to high risk areas are in the Northeast.

Re: Expert forecasts for the 2017 North Atlantic Hurricane Season
Something to keep in mind, he was nearly spot-on in predicting a storm taking the same or close to same track that Matthew took in his pre-season outlook like the one above.
This year he has a into the Texas Coastline or Northern Gulf Coast early season then a track similar or close to that of Hurricanes Charley and Wilma for later in the season.
This further supports my thoughts that there could be less East Coast ridging when compared to last season allowing a potential track into the GoM or cutting across or up the Florida peninsula coming out of the Western Caribbean. I also believe he is hinting at the Caribbean and GoM being more active than previous years.

Kind of scary. Of particular disturbing interest is the 50’s to 60’s landfall maps he posted. Interesting how the models have gone from an El Nino in the Pacific and higher pressures in MDR to a slight chance of an El Nino and lower pressures in the MDR. It’s starting to look like any predictions or models prior to May isn’t worth the paper it’s written on.

Normally I am very pessimistic about hurricane threats to SE Fla during any particular year, but this year I feel different. I think S.Fla will be under the gun this year...potentially from a major hurricane. I don't have any real scientific data to back this up...it's more of a gut feeling. Only time will tell if I am right or wrong.

I also have a gut feeling that S. FL won't be as fortunate as last season with Matthew being a near-miss as a major hurricane. I've had this gut feeling for several months now but I also had a gut feeling prior to the 2010 season and look what happened. My guess is that we are more likely to be under the gun from a backdoor Western Caribbean storm like Wilma was as opposed to from the East similar to Matthew or something coming off Africa.

I'm thinking something similar to a Hurricane Donna track but a bit farther north into Miami-Dade county.

I guess you're expecting an exceptionally strong Bermuda High?

And here, all of us on Long Island are not yet fully recovered from Sandy at all. I am extremely fearful of a Donna track this year as well, but 50 miles can make all the difference around here, as in 1954, you had a Major Hurricane Strike out on the Island, and it had little effect towards the NYC area, but if we see something like Donna/Belle/Gloria or *Gulp* the 1938 Hurricane up here, that would not be good. I consider Sandy more of an anomaly, because it was not fully tropical in nature, it was a hurricane that transformed into a monster Nor-Easter like system. I know numerous people thought that Sandy was the "big-one" up here, without truly understanding the nature of that system. If there were a fully tropical Cat 2 that smashed into NYC during High Tide, it would probably have similar (if not worse) effects than Sandy, so I am very nervous indeed, and we shall see how the season progresses.

cat 2 into NYC at high tide is many orders of magnitude worse than Sandy. There would be tidal surges over 20 feet if that were the case. The East and Hudson rivers would be merging into one over lower Manhattan

At first I didn't see us listed in the high risk areas and felt relieved. Today I clicked on the map and saw his possible tracks layout. Is that not a Donna repeat?
But, don't mind me. I'm just nervous after last year (and many other that preceded it).
I always thought that CSU was an odd place to make hurricane predictions.
Now thinking that Bill Gray was a genius, what an ideal place to make them!

Not doubt due to the big flip in the eastern Atlantic and the mdr that the April models didn't see coming. Not let's see if CSU follows suit.

Not surprising. I'm expecting most of the agencies to raise their numbers before June 1st.
