I was right
The current situation in the Eastern Pacific. Credit to @ViridWx Also, I do think this is a rare backloaded EPAC season. After July 20-25 I think it鈥檒l start to produce.

#Isaias is taking shape in the Bay of Campeche. It is steadily organizing, and is gaining some curvature to the cloud pattern and stronger outflow developing especially northeast, which will aid convective development over 29C SSTs of the Gulf. (1/

The set up is very similar to STY Suriage last week in the WPAC. Similar latitude, SST, and direction as it interacts with subtropical jet with trough enhanced outflow. Also, interestingly, enough STY SURIGAE energize the jetstream, allowing right front entrance region to open.

As a result of the current convective organization and the forecasted poleward outflow channel and fast movement pace. i have forecasted peak of 115 kn in 48 hours, followed by rapid weakening to 90kn at landfall. IPTWCDirector intensity forecast has moderate confidence.

Between 36-48/54 hours the system should interact with the string subtropical jet as it is steered towards it by the trough. The ULAC beneath Cuba will impart southerly shear but the forward speed should be able to overcome. (3/5)

Although shear is expected to be roughly 30-35knots out of the west, the system is moving at a brisk pace of 18-20knots after crossing 23rd lattitude, in layman鈥檚 terms = 20knots of speed under 35knots of shear = 15knots effective shear. Strong outflow = negates shear

12Z AIGFS vs. operational GFS illustrates this discrepancy nicely. AIGFS is faster and has a much more favorable orientation relative to the trough. GFS has been trending slower and ends up with more westerly shear and less trough interaction. I'd tend to trust the AI more for track right now, but it'll be tough to say for sure until we get a defined LLC.
There's a bit of an interesting paradox for #92L that could cap its intensity somewhat. Normally you'd expect a slower-moving system over the Gulf to get stronger (more time to sit over the very warm water). But in this case, a faster storm actually will likely be stronger, because it will stay in a favorable alignment with the jet rather than being sheared to death. Contrast the slower-moving 06Z GFS, which has trended weaker due to westerly shear, with the faster-moving 06Z AIFS, which is in a pocket of lower shear with a more favorable jet interaction.

Now going on 6 days of having very weak signal at my house. A mile up the road or down the road the signal is good. Verizon keeps saying that we鈥檙e working on fixing the problem. They鈥檝e set 48 hours now for the last week..

What would the AP Poll Rankings look like if only Big Ten affiliated voters counted? The SEC would occupy the top 2 spots and 9 of the top 18 spots. Virtually nothing changes to the SEC team rankings. Turns out this narrative that ESPN props up the SEC in the rankings is FAKE.

This should be known by now. But if not, here it is as we do this Everytime in late September and early October. There is ONE thing in meteorology that you DO NOT bet against. The West Pacific Ocean.

Choi-Wan was the 7th Cat 5 in the pacific this year (4 WPAC, 2 EPAC, 1 CPAC). Will the pacific as a whole reach 10 Category 5s this year? Also, Surigae and Nolo were both borderline storms than can teeter either way. Over/under 9.5 total Pacific Cat 5s this year (current 7)

Collier-Dade training and transition airport (FORMER ALLIGATOR ALCATRAZ LOCATION). I visited the location where the former immigration detention center was held from July 2025-June 2026. It now returns to the limited use/semi-abandoned airstrip in Big Cypress National Preserve.

馃У 4 years ago this afternoon, Florida was brought to its knees by the most devastating storm to strike the state since 1935. This is the story of CATEGORY 5 Hurricane Ian, as it happened in late September of 2022.
