It's pretty clear that the tropics are getting ready to birth another system soon. The only question is where. Right now, I'm betting on that blob around 53W.

I wonder if it will be a category 5 like Isabel and Fabian both were?

CMC is going with something, but for now all eyes should be on Marty as this should be another landfalling hurricane, possibly a major hurricane as indicated by GFDL

Marty? Did we already skip over Juan, Katrina, and Larry while everyone was watchnig Isabel?

Of course you know that Fabian (powerful as it was) did not reach Cat5 status.

Marty is a current Pacific storm. The Pacific season is already on the M storm.

Pay attention. Marty is a Pacific storm and could make landfall on the west coast. :roll:

Maybe west coast of Baja, but not the US west coast. Definitely be very rare for a landfalling tropical cyclone on the west coast considerring SSTs are in the upper 60s in San Diego and mid 60s in LA. Very stable air (look at all the stratocumulus clouds off the coast) would wipe out pretty much any convection in a tropical cyclone in a big hurry (just look at how fast Hurricane Linda fell apart a few days ago)

Marty is the "M" named storm in the EPAC (eastern Pacific), not the entire Pacific Basin.

Yes the Eastern Pacific is up to the M storm but this is one of the most un-active seasons in the Eastern Pacific for a while.

Still not Majors
Only 2 Hurricanes

1981 - the year when no majors last formed.
1989 - the most recent year which took the longest for the first major to form.
