Basically it looks like either Eta's remnant Low or another Low is going to form in the Western Carib. and struggle as it moves NNE but out around 144 hours a large Eastern North American Ridge extending out into the Atlantic turns this TC westward. How far this TC gets westward in the Gulf and latitude gained before the next Trough comes Eastward looks to be the determining factor where landfall might eventually end up in the Gulf. I would caution everyone from LA through Florida to stay up on this one.

Looking long term, the remnants of Eta look more like a sub-tropical system when it heads towards the northeast. So far none of the models show it getting stacked, so a signficant storm down tbe road is looking less likeky. I am not even convinced something will re-develop now.

It won't be until Thursday if not later before something re-emerges and possibly organizes. Until then, this is a guessing game.

That said, it is going to be a bad week for Nicaragua and Hondorus. Given their infrastructure and lack of resources for disaster response, this could be as bad as Mitch or worse.

ETA bumping into the “Florida High” aka the “SE Ridge” as TVCN bends west near Cuba. We really need to see what is left of ETA as it will take a beating over the mountainous terrain of CA to see how models respond as far as intensity and track.

As the models move from the long-range to the mid-range in terms of possible US impacts, honestly not much has changed in the last 2 days in terms of Track. Intensity is a big who knows, so I won't even go there right now.

Based on the Ensemble Runs over the last ~2 days (I'm simply not paying much attention to the operational runs of the CMC/EURO/GFS yet as they are all over the place) - Eta/Theta is expected to (re)develop in the NW Caribbean, meander N/NE into/around Cuba, Turn W/WNW into the GoM and eventually turn NE into anywhere from the Northeastern Gulf Coast through the Keys.

The above is based on the Ensemble Runs - I'm simply not paying much attention to the operational runs of the CMC/EURO/GFS yet. What is interesting (and unusual for this year) is that the EURO is most bullish on this in the Mid/Long range.

Below are Day 2 - Day 10 Ensemble runs (most recent)

Great post boiling it all down in one good summary. It does seem that there is a general agreement on general track set up. I know you said, rightfully so, that intensity is a big unknown as proven again and again this season that is a part of tropical predictions that we have yet to fully grasp. But it is really no less important than track, in my opinion. They could nail the track perfectly but predict a major storm when it could very well be a sloppy blob of rain instead- or vice versa, and have failed in my opinion. With that said intensity ‘guessing’ is still worth talking about. I think the good thing is there is a very good chance. 50/50 or better that ETA could be a weak unsubstantial system by the time it finally begins to affect the CONUS. I say that because cooler SST’s in the gulf, shear from approaching fronts and land interaction all will work together against intensity once it begins to emerge from the Caribbean. Of it could thread the needle so to speak and hit that proverbial sweet spot and become something significant despite the afore mentioned hurdles, I just think odds are against that from my perspective.


I agree but then remember this is 2020 and nothing has gone right this year.

ICON brings this into the Bahamas before swinging it back west into the Florida East Coast as a hurricane.

12Z GFS animation. Looks like there is some interaction with a ULL/trough in the Gulf which allows the storm to “pivot” around into Florida (not shown). It is worth noting the last several runs of the GFS have trended a bit stronger but stays at a tropical storms through day 5.

Worth noting the 12z GFS is considerably different from the NHC forecast in terms of timing.

12z GFS has Eta inland over Florida by 120 hours. NHC forecast is still in the Caribbean and is similar to the Euro. The latter would likely result in a stronger, more consolidated system IMO.

In the FWIW column, the NAVGEM is similar to ICON, albeit stronger.

So far, 12z ICON, NAVGEM, and GFS have the same general idea. From Central America to the NE with a bend back to the west. Two big questions remain... Where does the bend back west take place, and what will Eta be when it does that?

Looks almost subtropical on the GFS IR simulation and sheared. Most of the convection in the Bahamas with barely anything over Florida.

It's still a while until a possible reformation after landfall can happen, but MPI atm is very high for the NWCar. Especially if Eta gets organized quickly, so well before a landfall on Cuba, it might have exceptionally optimal conditions for intensification depending on shear.

991 mb on the GFS into Florida a case can be made it’s a minimal hurricane. Either way models trending stronger

12Z CMC like the GFS shows a sheared system possibly transitioning to subtropical with the convection over the Bahamas.

I think we may see a sheared mess coming across Cuba. What potentially concerns me is that mess getting trapped in the Bahamas and turning back west under better conditions. We've seen how strong these things can get on short notice. Given the right environment in the Bahamas, it could bomb out.

That’s a Subtropical Storm not a hurricane.

Impacts are the same to the average person. Rain wind enough to knock your power out.

Either way 12z models trending stronger

How do you get the satellite presentation on the GFS model?
