I feel like the most remarkable things to happen this season will be waves not developing.

Since July there have been only one wave that was designated as an invest but never developed. It's 94L and that's about it.

Waves take time to consolidate which can be frustrating, but a lot have developed this season.

LOL I meant it as everything spins up this season, so it's remarkable when it doesn't. Even more remarkable than big hurricanes etc because not developing is so rare. Failed post...

I envision situations like "What?! Why didn't this wave develop? Is something off? <insert conspiracy theory>" with people citing experts on Twitter on how this could happen.

It's very rare for Hurricanes to form period. On average you get 5 or 6 a year. Obviously active seasons produce more. Conditions have to be near perfect for major hurricanes which is even more rare. All these storms spinning up is beyond normal

Almost everything has been developing but for the most part everything has been weak and short-lived. Kind of reminds me of years like 2012 where there was a lot of weak storms with of course Sandy and to a much less degree Isaac.

As is typical for the early season. The next 10 days is when we typically start to see stronger storms.

I thought the debate about conditions before august 20th was settled decades ago?

I’m in a kind of I’ll believe it when I see it mood. 98L. Should have no problem becoming a major hurricane. Other than land interaction.

even if 98L doesn't, i'm sure you're gonna see plenty of quality storms lol. those favorable conditions don't even fully align before the 25th anyways. but it will be very favorable when they arrive.

If the Euro/GFS had their way we'd only be up to Dolly or Edouard with no hurricanes

For all those that like mentioning 2013, it's a distinct possibility we could be at 14-2-0 at some point soon with the two hurricanes both Category 1 if all three AOIs develop into tropical storms.
If it does happen, it won't stay that way though.
