I'm quite excited to track another storm. Now at 70%? Sounds like at least a 45 knot TS is the most likely outcome, and definitely NOT a major huricane.

They said that conditions are becoming increasingly conducive. I believe we will have our second tropical cyclone by the end of this week.

We could get a hurricane out of this IMO. Storms near the GOT tend to spin up rapidly. (See also: Barbara 13)

IMO, for the most, this could be stronger and better organized than Hurricane Barbara 2013. Conditions now are better and that last year had cool neutral and this year has an El Niño. SSTs now are a lot warmer now than during Barbara 2013. Hurricane Boris could happen.

I would agree with that. Invest 93E seems to be imminent now that it has reached 30% in 2 days.

I wouldn't completely rule out a hurricane, but this is developing in a region of very high precipitable water, meaning the system is likely to be large and very convective. Those usually take a while to spin up (but do indeed intensify quickly once an inner core is developed).

1997 had Pauline and Paka. 1982 just had Iwa, but IMO had storms that should have been retired.

Re: 2014 EPAC Season
Let's see how many ACE units the new TC racks up. EPAC is to a very fast start.

Not really that surprising since El Nino seems to be coming on

Models aren't showing anything worthwhile for the majority of June. This month may be inactive.

A Kevlin Wave and MJO are coming. Next week or so should be quiet, which is typical of El Nino years.

Yep. Right now it seems like any low with decent convection has a shot at becoming a hurricane. Should be a fun season. Hope they're all fishes.
