From the last several tweets linked along with what the CFS has consistently shown after mid-September, this season just screams late-blooming version of 1985, which also had a nearly dead MDR

From one post showing a tweet saying ABOVE NORMAL U.S. landfall risk to the next post showing a tweet saying season cancel the Atlantic is BONE DRY. You can see why everyone is going crazier than usual with what to expect or not within the next 4-8 weeks or so.

The ECMWF seems to have a dry bias in the Atlantic year in and year out. And Eric Blake said that TCs are too small to strongly show up in rainfall anomaly forecasts.

That’s a really warm Atlantic and note lack of El Niño. It is much warmer than 2018 at this time and similar to 2017 with anomalies centers a bit further north:

Another thing to watch for when the rising air moves into the Atlantic is for dry waves with vorticity as they move into the rising air as some of those went on to be nasty hurricanes like Fran, Elena, Andrew, and Katrina

Yeah, these models tend to overdo the dryness

Dry air/subsidence is the issue.

I dont know if there are any other NAO graphs or charts out there, but this one has kept showing NAO going positive end of August but then it reverts back to staying negative....which it has been for many months now. Makes you wonder if it will ever go into a sustained positive at all this season

As is usual, the weather fans are getting antsy...and some of that is justified given the calendar. But...we've been here before. Patience is needed...along with an ability to delineate possibility from probability. These traits are often lacking in the weather world. In addition, becoming conversant in landfall climo for your geographic region is essential. In my neck of the woods peak landfall season is the latter half of Sept through October.. a dead August is of minimal help to mitigate risk here. We've got a lot of gas in the tank. Let me refer you to my favorite hurricane season song...depeche mode's "enjoy the silence"...

Is a negative NAO really an inhibiting factor? I thought the NAO just helped influence potential tracks of anything that does form.

This is a great long discussion on twitter about 2004 and 2010 being possible analogs for 2019.

no. what this tweet is saying is that upcoming storms in peak season are what truly define the season, not what happens before it. therefore, although it’s dead now. what happens during the peak is what truly determines if a season is above or below average.
