Hopefully that PVS shows up. If not, this might be a big deal...

Yeah same, this is the closest thing to an Irma-like path I've seen since 2017. Hopefully the PVS will keep it under control.

It's just kind of hard for me to trust something that just showed up on the models yesterday (PVS) while it was still over land. Models are usually trash while these waves are still over land.

Irma was modelled to be large and was large approaching the Islands, very large and very powerful. With that level of upper outflow anything in it's way was obliterated. IMO it takes large scale patterns, not smaller features like upper lows, PV streamers, whatever this years naming fad calls them, to disrupt a powerful hurricane. 95L is not forecast to become that strong so the models show it getting blown apart.

Also this....not to convinced at all with this one yet in terms of being a problem down the road.

Agreed. It seems that there are a lot of obstacles for this one down the road as it looks now. Of course that all can change in just another day or two but there is nothing that tells me this one will be much of a concern, currently. Obviously need to watch all of these systems this time of year but unless things change this one should not garner a lot of emojis.

A guaranteed dissipation scenario is if 95L/Odette takes longer to become a TS and remains weak in the MDR (below hurricane intensity), and the TUTT is larger than currently forecast. The worst case scenario is a MDR major plowing into a thinner-than-expected TUTT.

By late tomorrow, we should know whether the strong or weak MDR solutions will verify. If we see this wrapping up or even becoming a TD tomorrow, it’ll have a better shot of not completely dissipating early next week.

Better hope it dies that’s for sure.

If the TUTT doesn’t kill 95L it’s going to start singing, “What doesn’t kill you makes you Stonger!”

For real...while I know there's still some doubt now about 95L's long term future (with bulls and bears), if anything as we have seen with storms in the recent and far past, in this kind of boom-or-bust scenario, I think we could expect this storm to either just get slaughtered by the TUTT and die or survive and become a very much unwanted major land threat. Let's see how it behaves in the next week or so, because *if* it were to take a shot at being a legendary SE CONUS landfalling storm like Hugo, Andrew, Irma, or Donna, then I think the clues leading up to that will become progressively more apparent as time passes.

Plus, it would be a downer to those who believe in landfalls from CV systems are near impossible after September 20.

Since people mentioned Irma, I went to dig up some old tweets about how it was affected by PV Streamers. Not sure whether they gave the full picture as I wasn't following Irma back then, but apparently Irma threaded the needle between two PVSs:

More detailed explanation, when Irma just formed but all models agreed on a WSW motion:

 https://twitter.com/pppapin/status/903454715240960002



Basically, the PVS behind Irma contributed to the WSW motion; it didn't have much impact on Irma's strength, as Irma was a strong but compact Eastern Atlantic major at that time. Looks like the PVS ahead of Irma did cause some shear and dry air which weakened it to a Cat 2, but Irma was eventually able to take it out (correct me if I'm wrong):

Note that at the time when these posts were made, models already had a pretty good consensus of Irma taking a WSW tip, then resuming the WNW path and bombing out.

This one is a bit concerning. Son just got finished with a hurricane Irma storm surge validation summer research project at Columbia. Quite amazing how much inland flooding there was well away from her core. Let’s hope this one gets sheared to death early.

I think that analysis was wrong, but would love to hear a pro met chime in.

Here's a WV loop as Irma was strengthening. Look at the ULL diving in towards Irma.



Reviewing Levi's video is not only interesting but realy a tutorial on how to use the 500MB charts as well.

We went from recurve vs landfall to dead vs surviving in just under 48 hours. Goes to show how quickly things can change in the tropics. In another 48 hours, we could possibly be looking at a vastly different TUTT forecast.

I dug this up in terms of the WSW motion, tried to align it best I could to the WV imagery

Hurricane Irma Discussion Number 6
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL112017
500 PM AST Thu Aug 31 2017

"Irma continues moving west-northwestward, now at about 10 kt.
There has been no change to the forecast philosophy, with the
hurricane likely to turn westward and west-southwestward over the
next few days due to a building ridge over the central Atlantic. At
long range, however, model guidance is not in good agreement on the
strength of the ridge, resulting in some significant north-south
differences in the global models. I am inclined to stay on the
southwestern side of the model guidance, given the rather consistent
forecasts of the ECMWF and its ensemble. In addition, the strongest
members of the recent ensembles are on the southern side on the
consensus, giving some confidence in that approach."

Maybe, but Ventrice added some more bears to the fight.

Nope, That TUTT has been on all the runs. If anything it's trending more robust. Arrangement could change but it's not going away.

So with this TUTT being there is the EPAC going to jump into action again? Because I would think that having a robust TUTT would mean the EPAC would be favored for activity on the other hand, but I have not seen many models excited about activity in the EPAC during that timeframe
