Forum:2019 Pacific hurricane season

Future start
The 2019 Pacific hurricane season is coming up, and the betting pools are up. I'll make some predictions for this season later, but if any of you guys have pre-season predictions, feel free to post them below. Ryan1000 03:56, November 20, 2018 (UTC)

AOI: In the Open Pacific
What on Earth? An invest suddenly popped up out of nowhere. 30/50 chance of formation and has good model support. We could be seeing history here. -  PORY GONAL  20:32, January 3, 2019 (UTC)
 * Woah, wasn't expecting that. Looks like GFS takes it up to 50 mph/1000 mb, which means we can see a record for the earliest named storm in the East Pacific's history. Guess I'll cheer Alvin on, lol. I just hope that this isn't a sign for what's to come later in the season, though... T  G  2 0 1 9 21:12, January 3, 2019 (UTC)

What is this I don't even...well I'll be damned, I never thought I would ever see an AOI in the EPac proper with a good chance of forming in January, of all times of year. There has never been a storm to form this early in the EPac proper since reliable data began in 1949, and only Ekeka of 1992 and Pali 3 years ago (which was arguably a continuation of 2015's extreme activity) did so east of the dateline in the CPac. If this becomes Alvin, I'll be overjoyed. Far out to sea, fishspinner, and unique time of year, what's not to like? Also, slightly off-topic, but if you guys want to vote on the nominees for the Hurricane Hall of Fame for 2019, all basins are open. This might prompt some more activity on the forums for that, seeing as how the SHem storms and Pabuk aren't getting much attention. Ryan1000 02:54, January 4, 2019 (UTC)
 * I know right, I have never seen an AOI in the EPac proper in January before... I was really shocked to see this. a lot of records will be broken if this forms, holy sh!t. And if it becomes subtropical, it might be the first EPac proper subtropical storm ever recorded (I think?). I'm totally rooting for Alvin to come out of this. And about the HOF, I hope to vote this weekend. ~  Steve 🎉   2019  is here!  🎆  05:19, January 4, 2019 (UTC)
 * I've been checking the NHC webpage out of habit for a while now, didn't think i'd actually see something pop up. C'mon Alvin, I believe in you! Send Help Please  (talk) 12:53, January 4, 2019 (UTC)
 * Chances have dropped for this, now 30/30. T  G  2 0 1 9 21:00, January 4, 2019 (UTC)
 * Dropped to 0/0. Looks like the long wait begins once again (assuming it doesn't make a comeback, which seems unlikely.  ~ Roy25     It's 2019!!!  |  🎉     02:48, January 06, 2019 (UTC)
 * I guess this is gone for good without becoming Alvin. The extremely long wait until May starts up again. 😕 It looks like it's at the southernmost part of a system currently striking my area. ~  Steve 🎉   2019  is here!  🎆  07:36, January 6, 2019 (UTC)
