Not if the ridge builds back in.

[Stormchaser16]

Yes but..... if they develop quickly(danielle) then they will just naturally turn north, no matter

[Aquawind]

LOL..Have to admit they look impressive lined up like triplets from hell..wth some nimrods behind..

[Guest]

AHHH! if they all develop, lets make a pact to call them the triplets from hell!

[dhweather]

With the significant erosion of the subtropical ridge forecast, do any of
these really stand much of a chance?

[Stormchaser16]

As far as development absolutely....

as far as traversing all the way across the atlantic........ hahahahha no.... not unless they dont immediately develop and remain a weak wave till further west where the ITCZ sinks

[Opal storm]

Holy $#@!. Africa is bombing us with these things You know what,im not going to clean my yard till after the season is over,becuase more than likely I'll clean my yard and another hurricane will mess it up again.

I see Frances, Gaston, and Hermine.

[Opal storm]

I see Frances, Gaston, and Hermine.

I see one heck of a busy season ahead of us

God I hope TX is safe this year. I hope for the trof and feel sorrow for LA eastward. AS much as I love canes its truely heartbreaking what has happened. Again a new respect has been awakened which will take days to sink in. It is Andrew all over again. We all wait for hurricane season year after year but this is the part that scares us and scrapes our souls.
The destruction has been unreal in SW FLA. Out of all the bickering we have a Storm2k, at least we have a supportive family, for we all know we could be next.

I don't think development really causes much of a Northward curve, just the fact that systems that begin farther south, have trouble developing a circulation due to the weakened coriolis effect near the equator. but, I understand what you are saying. The building trough in the Atlantic will help pull Danielle away it seems. I don't know about the other storms. If Danielles develops a strong outflow it could weaken the trough allowing new storms to slide under the trough.

KC, I'm very concerned about more U.S. hits. We've been too lucky since 95'....I just hope Charley isn't the first of several major canes to impact the U.S....

We're only in mid-August (the normal time for major canes to begin), and the U.S. has already been hit by a cat-2 and cat-4 (not to mention TS Bonnie). We still have the peak season ahead....and an overall pattern across the Atlantic that favors both intense hurricanes and U.S. landfalls.

[PurdueWx80]

Development almost surely means a northward curve because of the Coriolis effect. Think about right-moving supercells in the midwest. Any rotating column of air will move to the right of the mean flow - it's the same with a hurricane or TS.

Blimey, that is one hell of a line up. I have heard people on here mention that its a dry MJO period at the moment making this even more unusual. Having not heard that term before could someone explain this MJO?
