2018 EPAC Season
Let's see how the 2018 EPAC Hurricane Season is on activity as the 2017 season was a slightly above average one. (18/9/4) and the ACE on 2017 was just below 100 units. (98.2) There is uncertainty about ENSO on how it will be and that could play a roll on how active the season will be.
Names for 2018 season:
Aletta
Bud
Carlotta
Daniel
Emilia
Fabio
Gilma
Hector
Ileana
John
Kristy
Lane
Miriam
Norman
Olivia
Paul
Rosa
Sergio
Tara
Vicente
Willa
Xavier

Re: 2018 EPAC Season
While I basically nailed 2017 as a late 80s redux, I don't really have any strong opinions on how it will roll yet, but I'm not betting on a insane season. My guess is another 2017

Re: 2018 EPAC Season
Latest Euro pressure forecast for ASO in the EPAC/CPAC (take it with a grain of salt of course!) shows a 2016+2017 hybrid setup, where CPAC conditions would be better than the EPAC.

Re: 2018 EPAC Season
The Pacific will be seen much better when the new GOES-17 WEST satellite is put in orbit and begins to work and send spectacular views and will be great when the EPAC/CPAC Tropical Cyclones form and move thru the ocean.Launch is on March 1 at 5:02 PM EST.
@NOAA's #GOESS (#GOES17) rolled back from the tower, a step closer to launch, scheduled tomorrow (3/1/18) at 5:02 p.m. ET.

Re: 2018 EPAC Season
Vertical instability is now above average. Bodes well for what I've been anticipating this season - a return to quality over quantity, which goes in cycles in this basin.

Also a big plus for this 2018 season to have more quality cyclones will be the warm sst's and ssta's off CA and Mexico.

February 2018 SST's warmest on record for that month. SST's were one of the problems last season, especially given how warm the Atlantic waters were.

I don’t know, 2016 was quite quality and quantity to me in the East Pacific. Of course last season died off pretty quickly once we entered August around the time the Atlantic got going.
I’m guessing you expect the East Pacific to once again rob the Atlantic of it’s energy and potential?

I'm quite bullish on the ATL actually. We're in an era where both basins are in their active phase IMO.

No mate, those names seem overrated for that list.
Imma go for Lane as strongest storm fam
I see Lane becoming a pretty, fishie C4, Lester-type. I also see Kristy trailing with Lane; these two are the power couple of EPac 2018. KRANE.
