East Pac tomorrow- plus this...

[hurricanetrack]

As we all know, we get our first taste of a TWO from the NHC tomorrow. The East Pac season begins- YAAY.

Also- Mike W. and I were talking about the surface pressures in the tropical Atlantic. I had been noticing that they were quite low- and wondered if this was abnormal. Well, I found this quote from another thread:

"The sea surface temperatures are incredibly warm, much warmer than normal, and the sea-level pressures have been quite low."

Klotzbach was saying this in a news article. So- I guess that indeed sea level pressures have been running lower than they should this time of year. Perhaps we won't see any 1016 mb isobar lines for this season down in the deep tropics as we have in the past few. I do not know much about how all of that works- but I have seen some lower pressures out there and wondered if they mattered. Apparently so.

Mark yes as the pressures are lower that helps to start spinning lows in the tropical atlantic and that combined with the above average sst's in the MDR area will make for a very active Cape Verde season.The question that is left as the el nino factor will not be a factor as neutral to maybe very weak el nino will not be important is where those storms will go in terms of how the Bermuda High and Azores High will be positioned and the strengh of them.

yes the Bermuda High and the Azores high will be key. Last year both were strong...if they are weak we'll see lot of fish storms . Do we have any idea how strong these highs will be this year. Any idea at all?
