2017 CPAC Season
It may be a above normal 2017 season if the +PDO,El Nino and warm ssts in CPAC are present in the next few months.The first name to be used in 2017 is Walaka.

Re: 2017 CPAC Season
this year looks more favorable for a HI impact than last year did, and last year was beyond favorable

Re: 2017 CPAC Season
Yeah. Waters are almost if not 26C in the vacinity of Hawaii and it's only April.
Last season the waters were favorable for a Hawaii impact and we had two big threats which came from the EPAC. But other than those there wasn't much. No homebrew.
The main issue last season was the shear being higher than normal @ 130W in thr EPAC extending out to the CPAC due to the La Nina-esque conditions.
So maybe with a warm neutral/El Nino the shear will be normal.

I recall 5 different systems at different times shown by the GFS and the Euro to form in that vacinity and nothing was able to materialize. And the main reason for that was shear being unfavorable.

Madeline did get a last minute shot of shear. However, Lester simply whiffed, missing to the north
What these SSTs are saying though is that we can get a cat 4 or 5 striking from the east if the shear is favorable

That isn't anything abnormal though, and shear wasn't a problem for Darby.

Yeah I'm sure when storms get going they can create favorable shear environments. But models had a hard time with a handful of tropical disturbances, at times showing development, then showing delayed development and then dropping development all together. Tropical disturbances that wouldve been considered "gimmies" in 2014/2015.

Re: 2017 CPAC Season
I won't be surprised if we have many CPAC to WPAC crossovers this season looking at that SST anomaly map.

Re: 2017 CPAC Season
Waters near Hawaii are already at 26.5C-27.0C, meaning they are conducive for a tropical development - and it's only April.
CFS showing lower to normal shear over the western-EPAC and the CPAC (take it with a grain of salt of course).

That's far warmer than last year! And last year was beyond warm, so much so that storms from the east easily held together. This year, they will likely intensify on approach to Hawaii from the east. No Iselle tracking over 25C waters, that's for sure. This year, it may be over 27.5C waters

Not saying that SSTs are not above average but I think the SSTs from the NHC satellite page is a little off, according to area buoys around Hawaii I don't see 27.0C that close to Hawaii. The same error I see here in FL from them.

This image might be more in line according to area buoys.

Re: 2017 CPAC Season
Does the NHC use satellite estimates to guage SSTs?
CDAS showing similar SSTs, though more in line with the bouys you posted above.

Re: 2017 CPAC Season
I'm disappointed. They removed and stopped issuing Satellite Interpretation Messages (Tropical Weather Discussions)...
http://www.prh.noaa.gov/hnl/xml/SIMHI.xml
Why would they stop doing this?

Re: 2017 CPAC Season
Between 5-8 named storms is the forecast from NOAA for CPAC.NOAA releases on Thursday so this is ahead of the oficial release.

So they are expecting a near average to slightly above average CPH Season.
