Atmospheric conditions have been improving in the NW Caribbean, windshear has been running near average for the past month or so and instability has also gone up.

As ntxw noted, there's been a lot of shear this year, factors have not been favorable overall.

Of course, they were not generally favorable in 1992 until Andrew came along. There is a tremendous amount of energy available in the ocean, however the atmosphere has not been able to tap into it. Hopefully it stays that way.

On a side note, I just noticed that I just passed my 10th anniversary here. Ivan led me to storm2k, what a wonderful place to talk about the weather. Happy Anniversary guys & gals. :)

Yes, you are correct, but some on the blog never pay attention to the facts as they are developing.

When was the last hurricane to take advantage of those warm waters? Gustav?

Ernesto in 2012 pulled off a decent rapid intensification prior to landfall on the Yucatan peninsula. Rina in 2011 definitely took advantage of those waters as well.

Makes you wonder what it looked like for the Labor Day hurricane and Camille. Have to watch out for a Charley type event. One weakness of the NHC is forecasting a rapid intensification. Could be a serious public safety concern over the next few months. This area has a bad history of nasty storms ramping up quickly.

We have a long way to go when it comes to intensity forecast. I suspect that area in the Caribbean will be tapped, especially in September to October. Some of the most intense hurricanes occurred in that area like Allen, Gilbert, Mitch, and Wilma.

I don't remember seeing that much white on the graphic. Insane.

I have a feeling this could be a setup for an October surprise type storm.

I agree. This seems like a perfect setup for a powerful October major.

Hurricanes are an amazing natural phenomena. While many are spiraling pits of evil that kill people or cause devastation, some are tame and stay clear of land.

I wish for you to :Bcool:
