Is the break over?

[JamesFromMaine2]

By what has been unfolding the past 2 or 3 days I would say the break is over! Also could that break have just been the calm before the Storm? I guess only time will tell! In the past 2 or 3 days we have had Jose develop and hit Mexico and now we have TD 12 develop and heading for Florida which could be katrina before it hits Florida! Theres also a wave near the CV islands that could develop with in the next day or 2! could this be the final drive for the record and by this time 2 weeks from now could we all be wishing for a break again?

I would say the break/slow period is over(What ever it was). But most of the Atlantic is pretty unfavable so just tropical storms should be expected. With maybe weak hurricanes. Most years get 6 or 7 hurricanes this year has been almost unable to form them.

Its kind of an interesting way to end the break.

This time of year we expect to have cyclones developing in the eastern Atlantic, near Africa. We haven't seen that yet (besides Irene, and it got its butt kicked...same with TD10...)

And 97L is a CV wave/low..and its struggling as well.

The activity closer to home is exciting...but the infamous Cape Verde season hasn't reared its ugly head yet...however...that could change over the next few weeks.

One of the models ( I can't remember which one) shows a pretty potent system approaching the Carribean in 144 hours.....yea, 144 hours LOL.

well we still have about half the season remaining so I wouldn't count on only getting tropical storms! TD 12 could still become pretty strong before it makes landfall then once it gets over the GOM it could reorganize and become its strongest then!

I can't be dissapointed with a season that featured 1 Category 5 hurricane, and 1 borderline Category 5 hurricane in July, of all months.

Storms that form closer to home can often times become very potent. Alicia ( 1983 ), and Diana ( 1984 ) are just a couple of examples.

Care to mention the 1935 FL Keys Hurricane? Formed where TD12 is

Might not want to forget Labor Day 1935, Audrey 1957, or Bret 1999.

And if I'm not mistaken, a little lady called Camille.

Thanks for mentioning Audrey 1957. She's one that I will never forget - ever!

You may be eating them words next week pal. I'm putting in advanced orders for crow... would you like some?

[johngaltfla]

I agree. The break is over. And I don't like the MJO to start this end of the break period.

We're entering a period of very dangerous times for those of us who live in Hurricane Alley....

Just look at the TW over the NE Caribbean headed W with increased convection. This mornings TWO mentions it this morning.
