Re: Potential Early November Tropical Development
It’ll be crazy if this ends up becoming a major as well as Zeta, because that’ll be FOUR consecutive majors, all in October-November after just one each in August and September, with three in the WCar after none in that region since 2011.

Re: Potential Early November Tropical Development
As others have stated this is now rather strong model support for something surely more then Zeta ever had. We wait and see

I am in no way a professional. Take what I say with a grain of salt as I could be totally wrong. Please refer to the NHC, NWS, or SPC for official information.

Re: Potential Early November Tropical Development
I think development is “likely” once again in the Caribbean. Unanimous model support right now

Tremendous model support for this one... Could be a serious player down the road

Didn't Sandy briefly reach Major Hurricane status before landfall on Cuba, or does that not count as WCar?

Potentially yes. I am really impressed with the model support right now. I will be watching the upper pattern quite closely in the coming week.

Re: Potential Early November Tropical Development
What day would we know for sure this might actually develop & not ghost. The weekend? Just wondering so I know I need to take more serious as steering might be interesting

I don't think this one will be a ghost since most of the models are on board this time

With this model support across the board I find it unlikely this is a ghost. My concern is being in November the odds of a trof potentially picking this up might be higher in my opinion.

Re: Potential Early November Tropical Development
There is alot of convective waves rolling thru the MDR rn that will most likely reach the Caribbean by around the same timeframe the models are suggesting. With a favorable MJO and Kelvin Wave over this area for another week or so, it’s a safe bet something will try and spin up.

I hope this thread does not break my record of 59 pages set by the precursor of Zeta.

It was in the eastern half of the Caribbean. Same with Matthew, and Otto was in the SWCar and not the typical WCar like Wilma and Delta.
