The US now has three cat 4 landfalls in 25 days. The 4300+ day major drought seems like forever ago.

So if Maria was the only major to hit land this season it would count as a U.S. strike because it hit U.S. territory?

I'd say yes but it's not like it was an official statistic or anything.

It's looking a bit 1996 out there today.

Will need to monitor the Western Caribbean/Central America/Gulf of Tehuantepec Region very carefully as we end September and begin October. The guidance is trending stronger suggesting increased odds of a robust monsoonal gyre/trough developing with strong Cyclonic Vorticity at the 850mb level.

Yes, it would probably go down as VI4 or VI5 had statistics been kept for category impacts on US territories. It appears St. Thomas saw at least a category 4 impact from Irma.

Yeah. The Western Caribbean has pretty much been untapped this season. Everything developed too far east to track into W. Caribbean with the exception of ex-Harvey.
That's my big worry with those profiles, a monster hurricane in October in the western Caribbean
Is the western Caribbean capable of a Haiyan or Patricia like storm?

Wasn't Wilma close enough?

If it's not quite capable of that then it's VERY close. I'd say that 200mph down there with 880's could be produced there with it's max TCHP, low shear, hot waters, etc.

We've seen it or certainly in that range , i.e. Mitch, Wilma, Gilbert, Allen, etc.

Re: 2017 indicators: SST's / MSLP / SAL / Steering / Instability
The lack of inhibitors this season, other than stable air (a semi-permanent post-2005 legacy), indicates that post-seasonal ACE will likely be in the top five on record since 1851. Currently, the seasonal ACE index is ~186, eighth highest on record for the basin, and rising quickly. There will probably be a few additional major hurricanes before the season finally shuts down. Given developing La Niña conditions, the season will likely continue into November or December. The chances for some off-season development are thus higher than average. According to official statistics, gleaned from here and here, the top ten seasonal ACE indices on record for the Atlantic basin are as follows:
A good estimate for the final ACE this season probably lies in the range of ~220 to 230. That would easily put 2017 within the top five. Seasonal totals will probably reach somewhere in the ballpark of 19 NS, 11 H, and 7 MH. Gert may well be upgraded to 100 kt in post-seasonal analysis, and add two additional majors from October/November. The total number of major hurricanes thus reaches seven under these conditions. ... Also, many of the most active seasons have occurred in clusters: 1932–3, 1950–1, 1995–6, 1998–9, 2004–5, et al. That pattern could portend a well-above-average 2018 as well, though obviously seasonal factors must contend.
- *1933 – 259
*2005 – 243
*1926 – 230
*1995 – 227
*2004 – 224
*1950 – 211
*1961 – 205
*2017 – 186
*1998 – 182
*1999 – 177

This looks like a strong la niña is forming
Let's hand it to the models that insisted upon a strong el niño earlier this year. Looks like they had a sign error

Remember when there were some people who brushed off the POAMA enso model when it showed the SST anonalies dipping into negative territory a few months ago? Yeah...well it ended up doing a good job. The timing was off as it showed negative anomalies by June/July...but it saw what most refused to or were not able to see.....a developing La Nina.

We still have a long way to go when it comes to predicting ENSO.

I think a moderate La Nina is possible for winter-early fall. Still has ways to go @ Nino 3.4.
Models are always warm biased early in the year and then slowly start correcting.

It was strange how the models shifted at the last minute to (correctly) show a La Nina.

About a month ago, I posted in the ENSO thread after Harvey made landfall over Texas that the ENSO state was shaping up similar to 2005.
