With a strengthening newly designated Hurricane Michael entering the Gulf, and a endless ongoing Leslie in the Central Atlantic soon to become a hurricane AGAIN, also a TW just west of Africa and SSW of the Cape Verde Islands being newly designated Invest 93L you really would think it was September over October if you hadn’t looked at the calendar.
The MJO is primarily responsible too for this uptick in activity and the basin-wide satellite shows it well with convection all across the tropical Atlantic. Got to give credit to Ben Noll for calling this October burst weeks in advance.
