Re: 2018 EPAC Season
Lane has definitely piled on ACE. About 26-27 units now and could easily get another 5 to pass 30. That will bring the EPAC to near it's entire seasonal average. What a ride it has been so far in August.

Re: 2018 EPAC Season
It's official, Lane is a Cat 5. With that 2018 can join 2014 and 2015 as EPAC seasons with Cat 5s of late. 2018 is going down as quite a memorable season for the EPAC+CPAC. Praying for Hawaii.

Re: 2018 EPAC Season
Hector and Lane have accounted for over half the season's ACE up to this point.

Is this the one the 12z Euro sends west as another tracker?

Yes. Could be another Hector/Lane situation but way too soon to say for sure.

Lane has put down about ~35 units so far and may end up north of 40.

Re: 2018 EPAC Season
Wow Lane will surpass Maria of WPac shortly in ACE units for a TC in the Northern Hemisphere. Lane as of 03:00z had 34.2 and Maria had 35.8. It will get close to what Hector got (50.3) preliminar as changes can occur in post season report.

Using the last public advisory forecast from the CPHC Lane would add another 10-11 units before he is done. He will join Hector in top 10 at least of EPAC ACE producers east of the IDL. That also puts the EPAC+CPAC season over 140-145 units. Another long tracker would easily tack on 25+ units.

Re: 2018 EPAC Season
That area is starting to light up a bit this morning. It will be slow to develop but anything going west this season is worth watching for.

Re: 2018 EPAC Season
These are not the 2 that are being mentioned in the TWO but other 2 systems on long range. If it happens,then EPac will reach the 200 mark of ACE. As of 15:00z it was at 137.9 ACE units. 1992 was the year with the highest ACE total so far since 1971 with 295 units.

Re: 2018 EPAC Season
12z ECMWF recurves the 0/20 near 145W. Given how at least until Lane models in this area of the world had an east bias this is something to watch but still very far out.
