Forum:2011 Pacific hurricane season

Welcome
Here's 2011! I believe we could get an El Nino this year, so I'm thinking an above-average season. Anyone have specific calls? Just like I did with the Atlantic hurricane season, the /Betting pools/ are here, too! Ryan1000 21:18, January 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * I guess I'll go with 17-9-4 (named-hurricanes-major) Yqt1001 02:18, February 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * I think we will have 14-19 storms, 7-10 hurricanes, 4-6 majors, and I'm not sure about cat. 5's; we've had one here for two straight years; that's a record as it is, and saying we'll have another one for 3 straight years is a bit too generous for the EPac IMO. Ryan1000 21:49, February 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * 15-6-3 is my guess. YE Tropical Cyclone
 * And it is officially hurricane season! yay! YE Tropical Cyclone  00:07, May 15, 2011 (UTC)
 * It has been cyclone season in the SHem Forum beforehand, but anyways, happy hurricane season! Adrian will be on our hands likely in the next week or two. Then, we'll get many more storms from there. Unlike 2010, an El Nino could happen this year, so an active season could be on our way! Ryan1000 12:54, May 15, 2011 (UTC)

Aoi:over CA
New wave about to enter the EPAC. YE Tropical Cyclone  15:21, July 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * Now it´s up to 20%. This thing has a chance of becoming Eugene as it heads WNW, but it likely won't affect land. Let´s hope it becomes our 5th hurricane though, we're really getting a lot of hurricanes here. Ryan1000 12:48, July 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * We could see Eugene this weekend. YE Tropical Cyclone  15:17, July 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * Also, if 95E becomes a hurricane, we would be the first season since 1966 to have the first five tropical storms become hurricanes. This invest could get quite unique in the next week. Hurricane Andrew (aka User: Andrew444) 01:33, July 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * Down to 10%. YE Tropical Cyclone  04:41, July 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * Now near 0%. Maybe Eugene will have to wait after all. 1966 had the first 6 storms become hurricanes, but we might have missed a few storms back then, so if you only count since 1971, then this year ties 1971 itself for the record. The record in question for number of consecutive hurricanes in EPac is apparently held by an 8 hurricane streak in 1992, not since the start, but we had hurricanes Orlene, Iniki, Paine, Roslyn, Seymour, Tina, Virgil, and Winifred all in a row. I don't think we'll get 8 consecutive hurricanes this year, but it's not out of the question. We'll have to wait and see. Ryan1000 13:40, July 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * Back up to 10%, not out of the woods yet. Ryan1000 22:59, July 29, 2011 (UTC)

96E.INVEST
It's now invested and up to 40%. It's looking very well organized, and we have a pretty good chance of seeing possibly yet another hurricane out of Eugene. Let's watch this one too, because if it does become hurricane Eugene, we have the first 5 storms be hurricanes, just one behind 1966's record. Ryan1000 21:32, July 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * Now at 70%!YE Tropical Cyclone  01:36, July 31, 2011 (UTC)

At 70% now. Could be a tropical cyclone by August 1st. Hurricane Andrew (aka User: Andrew444) 00:04, July 31, 2011 (UTC)
 * August 1st? Why not tomorrow? YE Tropical Cyclone  01:36, July 31, 2011 (UTC)
 * Later today you mean. We have to see Eugene from this wave. Given the conditions ahead of it, on top of it's well-defined structure, I can also see yet another hurricane coming from this. This year is far above the long term average for number of hurricanes, but not so much named storms. Ryan1000 02:10, July 31, 2011 (UTC)

Tropical Depression Five-E

 * The fifth tropical depression of the 2011 PHS has formed! Looks like this could very well be TS Eugene in a few hours. Hurricane Andrew (aka User: Andrew444) 12:48, July 31, 2011 (UTC)
 * Forecasted to become ANOTHER hurricane. YE <font color="#66666">Tropical <font color="#66666">Cyclone  14:09, July 31, 2011 (UTC)
 * The Estern Pacific will be having a hurricane party. OWEN2011 14:21, July 31, 2011 (UTC)
 * Wow, this is the first season since 1966 to have the first 5 storms become hurricanes, assuming Eugene will become one. At the rate we are going we'd be better with all of the seasons storms be hurricanes for god's sake... Oh well. It's worth watching. Updated the Active storms header. Ryan1000 14:51, July 31, 2011 (UTC)

Tropical Storm Eugene
And here it is. Still forecast to become a hurricane as it heads out to sea. At least it's worth mentioning... Ryan1000 15:22, July 31, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yay!!!!!!!!!!! YE <font color="#66666">Tropical <font color="#66666">Cyclone  16:07, July 31, 2011 (UTC)
 * For the record, if this storm becomes a hurricane by August 2nd(or 3rd), it will be the earliest date for the season's 5th hurricane since 1992! Are you kidding me? That's incredible! 1994 sure had a ton of hurricanes, and some really strong ones, but lleana, that year's 5th hurricane, or Li, which did on the same day, didn't become the season's 5th hurricane until August 12th. 1993 didn't get their 5th 'cane(Keoni) until August 14. 1992 got Frank by July 15. No other season since 1995 has had their 5th hurricane before that. 1966 had the first 6 storms become hurricanes, but because there were no July storms that year, the 5th of those(Eileen) didn't become a hurricane until August 26. The EPac is already setting some pretty cool records. Ryan1000 16:55, July 31, 2011 (UTC)
 * Eugene sure is causing 2011 to set so many records. Hurricane Andrew (aka User: Andrew444) 22:16, July 31, 2011 (UTC)
 * I think the NHC is underestimating Eugene right now. They say 40 knots when Eugene looks like a 45 knot tropical storm. Either way, I think there's potential for a cat 2/3 (especially if Eugene keeps south for longer than expected). Suprise11 03:34, August 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * It's now up to 60 mph, but it's still organizing and it should become at LEAST a category 1 storm. The latest NHC forecast takes it only to 80 mph. That's underexaggerating IMO. Ryan1000 13:31, August 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * Up to 65 mph, and the forecast now takes it to high-end Cat 1 strength. --HurricaneMaker99 15:09, August 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * probable a hurricane now
 * probable a hurricane now
 * probable a hurricane now

Yeah, i'd be surprised if it isn't upgraded to one soon, it's really getting it's act together as it heads out to sea. Ryan1000 19:44, August 1, 2011 (UTC)

Hurricane Eugene
It's a 'cane! 65 kts, 990 mbar per the latest NHC advisory. Forecast peak upped to Cat 2. --HurricaneMaker99 20:35, August 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * When Adrian was at similar strength it was forecast to peak as a strong category 2. Dora was forecast to be a solid category 3. Who knows where Eugene will go. CobraStrike (t)(b)(c) 21:20, August 1, 2011 (UTC)

Man... it's not even August 10th, and we've had five canes. This is the first time since 1966 that the first five tropical storms became hurricanes, and the first time since 1992 that a season's fifth hurricane formed this early. Hurricane Andrew (aka User: Andrew444) 21:02, August 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yay! Five for five. Forecast peak for me is 105 knt. YE <font color="#66666">Tropical <font color="#66666">Cyclone  21:44, August 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * Hurricane party! 5th of the season, but it likely won't affect land. It could be a cat. 3 briefly, but it won't affect land. Oh well. Great to see it intensify, first time in 45 years with the first 5 storms become hurricanes. Ryan1000 00:04, August 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * Oh well? You want it to affect land? But anyway, Eugene looks great right now. YE <font color="#66666">Tropical <font color="#66666">Cyclone  01:42, August 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * The new advisory just said: ...EUGENE CONTINUES WEST-NORTHWESTWARD WITH LITTLE CHANGE IN STRENGTH... What? CobraStrike (t)(b)(c) 02:58, August 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * ??? It's 80 knts and looks great. 13:42, August 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * Cat 2 now; 85 kts, 973 mbar. Forecast to peak as a high-end Cat 2. --HurricaneMaker99 14:59, August 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * If Eugene becomes the third major hurricane of the season, the season will be over a month and a half ahead of climatology (3rd major forms by Sep. 20)! That's incredible since the season's not in an El Nino and the season's in the inactive period. Suprise11 15:31, August 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * so Eugene is a cat 2 Hurricane now the good thing of this it could strength all what he wants and not affected anyone AllanJeffs 15:41 August 2, 2011
 * Eugene is predicted to peak at 110 mph, but it could certainly be a major hurricane. Wow... This is a ENSO year, but it in the EPac, it's like we're in a pure El Nino! Hurricane Andrew (aka User: Andrew444) 17:06, August 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * I hope it becomes Cat 3. YE <font color="#66666">Tropical <font color="#66666">Cyclone  17:39, August 2, 2011 (UTC)

The next Eugene advisory strengthens it to a 105 mph hurricane with a minimum pressure of 970 mbar. Eugene is now forecast to become a MAJOR HURRICANE within 12 hours. YE, you might get your wish. CobraStrike (t)(b)(c) 20:42, August 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * Knts please? mph is for meto babies IMO. YE <font color="#66666">Tropical <font color="#66666">Cyclone  22:38, August 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * That would be 90 knots sir, a category 2. CobraStrike (t)(b)(c) 22:48, August 2, 2011 (UTC)

Major Hurricane Eugene
8pm NHC advisory places Eugene at 100 kts, 960 mbar; ladies and gents, we now have the third MH of the 2011 PHS! --HurricaneMaker99 02:58, August 3, 2011 (UTC)
 * YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HIP HIP HORRAY! Yay for Eugene! Good news is that it is out to sea. EP, 05, 2011080318,, BEST, 0, 158N, 1148W, 115, 947, HU, 64, NEQ, 40, 35, 30, 40, 1007, 240, 20, 0, 0, E, 0, , 0, 0, EUGENE, D, 03:01, August 3, 2011 (UTC)
 * Eugene is just impossible to forecast. Probably will become Cat 4. Suprise11 03:19, August 3, 2011 (UTC)


 * Didn't become Cat 4 yet, but the NHC is giving a 10% chance of Eugene strengthening to that. Right now its a high end Cat 3. The NHC also said that its possible that Eugene peaked already. Suprise11 15:06, August 3, 2011 (UTC)
 * ....Annular! Yqt1001 17:55, August 3, 2011 (UTC)
 * I swear this thing looks like a category 5 based on the sattelite imagery. I wouldn't be surprised if it does so soon. This thing is really exciting! No affect on land and a very strong storm. Ryan1000 19:56, August 3, 2011 (UTC)
 * What's sort of shocking to me is that Eugene looks EXACTLY like an upside-down Hurricane Daniel from 2006. Look at the similarities. CobraStrike (t)(b)(c) 20:01, August 3, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yay, now a Cat 4 per RBT. It is Dora all over again. EP, 05, 2011080318,, BEST, 0, 158N, 1148W, 115, 947, HU, 64, NEQ, 40, 35, 30, 40, 1007, 240, 20, 0, 0, E, 0, , 0, 0, EUGENE, D, YE 20:24, August 3, 2011 (UTC)

 * Use colons in the source code editing. CobraStrike (t)(b)(c) 22:02, August 3, 2011 (UTC)
 * Adrian and Eugene were never forecast to get past category one at first, and despite the unfavorable conditions, they both exploded into very strong hurricanes. This is the third category 4 of the season, but the record in question is held by having 7 in 1993 and 1992. Ryan1000 23:50, August 3, 2011 (UTC)
 * Eugene now is a category 3 hurricane Allanjeffs August 4. 2011

 * 1992 and 1993 tie the record in question with 7 category 4 storms each. And yes 1985 did have the most in a NON El Nino year, but we still only had 3 TOTAL category 4's that year. If we get one more, we will beat that record for non-El Nino cat 4's. Ryan1000 01:00, August 5, 2011 (UTC)

Hurricane Eugene (sadly)
Eugene showed us she can explode out of nowhere, but its gone back down to category 2 strength again per RBT: EP, 05, 2011080418, BEST, 0, 170N, 1195W, 95, 964, HU, 64, NEQ, 40, 35, 30, 40, 1009, 250, 25, 0, 0, E, 0,, 0, 0, EUGENE, D, CobraStrike (t)(b)(c) 19:34, August 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * It's a he, not a she. And Eugene may survive a bit before it dies, perhaps in the Central Pacific briefly. Ryan1000 02:33, August 5, 2011 (UTC)

 * Yeah it reminds me of Hurricane Igor of last year as it was battering down on Atlantic Canada. (which is where I am at now =D) Yqt1001 18:33, August 5, 2011 (UTC)

Has not been invested, but an area of disturbed weather has formed. NHC has 10% on it. Let's keep watch on this system, may be our Fernanda. CobraStrike (t)(b)(c) 00:49, August 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * Now it's up to 20%. If this thing becomes a hurricane, it will tie 1966 for the all-time record of hurricanes since the start of the season. Ryan1000 07:47, August 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * Also, if the AOI somehow manages to reach hurricane strength, it would be the earliest date for a season's sixth hurricane since 1992's Georgette, which reached that strength on July 16, 1992. Hurricane Andrew (aka User: Andrew444) 17:04, August 2, 2011 (UTC)

97E.INVEST
I'm seeing this thing as Invest 97 on Wunderground, so I think this has been invest'd? Anyway, most of the models are taking this W/WNW-ward, though we have an outlier in BAMD, which predicts this thing to go as far south as near 5°N! --HurricaneMaker99 17:29, August 2, 2011 (UTC)

 * Actually, Tropical Storm Fernanda is likely, but not Hurricane Fernanda because 97E is really close to Hurricane Eugene. Hurricane Andrew (aka User: Andrew444) 22:20, August 2, 2011 (UTC)

And another wave comes in the EPac. It is slowly heading westward and it may become Fernanda in the long future, and if it becomes a hurricane, we will tie 1966 for the record number of consecutive hurricanes since the start of the season. Currently it's only at 10% however. Ryan1000 23:52, August 11, 2011 (UTC)

 * What do you mean? 1966 had the first 6 storms become hurricanes. This season had the first 5 do so. We need one more hurricane to tie 1966's record. Ryan1000 17:14, August 12, 2011 (UTC)

 * I don't think this AOI is going to become a hurricane. Development is expected to be slow, and 10% (according to the NHC) at this far west in the basin isn't promising. We'll have to wait and see on this one. Suprise11 18:39, August 12, 2011 (UTC)

 * YE, this might be too much to ask, but could you please send some hurricanes to the ATL? Preferably out to sea, but I've had enough of watching these storms become category 4 hurricanes in 12 hours and watching the ATL storms struggle to maintain their convection...

 * Personally, I would not have upgraded it into a hurricane. While I do see the data pointed out by the NHC, I would have put it at 60 kts on the following reasons: SAB (SSD) was still at T3.5, UW-CIMMS was still at T3.3, and while data T's were at 4.0, instinct and final T #'s don't really suggest 65 kts (more like a compromise of 60 kts). I would have waited for the next m-wave pass to see whether the eye has strengthened or organized at least slightly... but, that's just my opinion. But, that doesn't really matter right now, as it would eventually (or is currently) reach hurricane status. <font color="Blue">Darren 23 Edits 02:55, August 18, 2011 (UTC)

 * Gah, who cares, Greg would have been a 'cane anyways, and keep in mind Fernanda isn't quite done yet; it still could briefly become a hurricane before dying down. It(Fernanda) is now up to 60 mph and Greg's a minimal cat 1. I wouldn't be surprised if Greg takes advantage of the favorable conditions ahead of it a bit and explodes like Eugene and Adrian did earlier this season. We'll wait and see about that though.

Well, all of the storms in NAtl are just pathetic of yet. Franklin spun fish for 30 hours and Gert won't hit Bermuda too hard, plus 92L is rather close to Gert and if that wave becomes Harvey it likely won't affect land anyways. This wave is future hurricane Fernanda in my book, and we should pay some attention here since the Atlantic hasn't been interesting as of yet. Sure we had a lot of storms thus far in NAtl but most of them were weak, short-lived, and remained at sea. We still haven't had any giant U.S. major hurricanes as of yet, but I fear we will indeed have one coming at some point in this season. Ryan1000 21:02, August 14, 2011 (UTC)

Yay! The sixth tropical storm of the season! And if you didn't know, Fernanda has made history. This is the tenth time Fernanda has been used to name a tropical cyclone. In other words, Fernanda now ties Estelle as the most frequently used name in EPAC history, and also ties with Estelle and Arlene as the most frequently used name in W. Hem. history. Hurricane Andrew (444) 17:01, August 16, 2011 (UTC)

Where is everyone?! Since I last posted, Fernanda is up to 50 mph, and she could make the season history. Nope, 1966 will still retain the all time record of most consecutive hurricanes from the start. Hurricane Andrew (444) 15:17, August 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * No, 2011 owns the record. 1966 had intervening depression's. YE <font color="#66666">Tropical <font color="#66666">Cyclone  15:23, August 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * Last NHC advisory issued... now in the CPAC. It is the first storm in that area since Omeka last December, and I believe this is the first time since Lana in 2009 that a tropical cyclone crossed the EPAC/CPAC boundary (note: Lana was only a TD before its crossing). Hilda was the last crossing, I overlooked quite a few storms. Hurricane Andrew (444) 13:06, August 18, 2011 (UTC)

 * If Fernanda survives its journey through the central pacific, I think Fernanda could regenerate (assuming it becomes a remnant low) and become a tropical storm again. The real question here is that if it does survive, can it become a hurricane before it would cross over into the West Pacific. Suprise11 06:18, August 19, 2011 (UTC)

Post-Tropical Cyclone Fernanda
And there goes the first storm of this year's EPAC season to fail to reach hurricane strength. I'm honestly quite happy about this, since it looks like Fernanda and Harvey might go hand-in-hand to level the playing field, just a little bit. --HurricaneMaker99 03:06, August 20, 2011 (UTC)

Bye, Fernanda! At least you didn't reach hurricane strength. I'm getting sick of hurricanes. Now there is one record 2011 has failed to break: the most consecutive named storms that reached hurricane status from the start (technically, 2011 owns the record for most consecutive storms becoming hurricanes from the start, but 1966 still holds the record I said above). Hurricane Andrew (444) 14:14, August 20, 2011 (UTC)

<p style="margin-left: 40px; ">Yes 1966 holds the record for NAMED storms to become hurricanes, but 2011 was the first season on record to have the first 5 storms become hurricanes. TD's form every year in the EPac and not one season since 1971 hasn't had any depressions not be named storms. 1966 technically isn't in the reliable record books, so there is a good chance a few more unnoticed TD's or TS's came between those hurricanes. In the same way, Natalie of 1964 holds the record latest first storm of EPac since 1949, but we consider Ava of 1969 as having been the latest since we could have missed a few storms back then. So if you only go since 1971, this year holds the record. Ryan1000 15:02, August 20, 2011 (UTC)

Retirements at a glance
Started this section early. With three hurricanes at hand, I just felt like starting this section. Anywho, what are your predictions?

Mine:


 * Adrian - 1% No effects on land, intensity doesn't earn retirements.


 * Beatriz - 10% Impact not significant, while there are 4 deaths, I don't think it's going to be retired.


 * Calvin - 1% Was indeed an interesting storm.

- <font color="#000000">HurricaneSpin <font color="#654321">(Talk)  21:07, July 8, 2011 (UTC)


 * Well, there are no storms with any reasonable chance of retirement, but if I had to put a number on it? I would put 5% to Beatriz and keep everyone else, since they did nothing. However, the season is far from over, and there is always a possibility of a destructive late-season storm like Kenna or Pauline. As of now, i'd wait on this section. I also made this in the WPac forum just now, but it should wait there too. Ryan1000 22:47, July 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * Here are mine:
 * Adrian - 2% I don't think so, intensities don't determine retirements. And Adrian's staying, unless he pulls a Knut out of the hat.
 * Beatriz - 7% Unless we get an Alma- like situation, no. 4 deaths are not enough, and Mexico has gone through worse than her.
 * Calvin - 0% He's gonna stay, no matter what. The end.
 * Dora - 3% See Adrian's section.
 * Eugene - 1% See Dora's, Calvin's, and Adrian's sections.
 * And I wouldn't be surprised if Beatriz is retired, you know of the EPac's storm history (for example, they let Alma, a storm that did next to nothing (but Alma does means "soul" in Spanish) get sacrificed, while they set a monster, Agatha, free. That's pathetic). Andrew444 02:26, July 9, 2011 (UTC)

 * Atlantic: 16-8-4-2
 * Pacific: 14-7-3-0
 * Yqt1001 21:49, July 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * I think the Atlantic will have 14-9-5. IMO, the pacific is more tricky since we already have had the first three storms become hurricanes and 1 major. I would go with 11-12 storms, 6-8 hurricanes, and 1-5 majors (I wouldn't be suprised if the season ends up like 2010 and has no majors through peak of season.)
 * ACE for the Atlantic should be around 150. The Pacific ACE should be between 50-80. Suprise11 22:53, July 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * 2010? Why is 2010 being discussed? Do you realize that the 2010 PHS an anomaly? The environment is much more favorable than 2010. In fact, if this seaosn shuts down later this month, and pulls a 2010/1977, I will be shocked. YE <font color="#66666">Tropical <font color="#66666">Cyclone  22:57, July 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * While 2010 was anomaly (Number of June storms, June C5, lack of activity afterward), because we are in the inactive Pacific era, a repeat will not be surprising, but it is not really expected. And YE, an interment is a burial :P <font color="Blue">Darren 23 Edits 23:11, July 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * It will be surprising, because a 2010 type season has occurred only twice in the past 44 years. So the odds of an 2010 type season is 1/22.YE <font color="#66666">Tropical <font color="#66666">Cyclone  23:29, July 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * I meant 2010 in terms of the possibility of no majors through peak of season. For example, despite 2003's high number of named storms, there were no majors. Suprise11 23:36, July 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * Given the fact that we already have three major and one cane, it is unlikely that we will have no majors in the season. Most years have a Baja storm that becomes an MH if not an MH fish storm. In fact, I could only find two seasons since 1977 with no MH's during the peak (2003 and 2010). Odds=1/12. YE <font color="#66666">Tropical <font color="#66666">Cyclone  23:43, July 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * True. I gave a big range since because of the difficulty for me to predict majors for this season. I honestly think we will get 2 more majors for a total of 3 majors. This is inside my range. Suprise11 23:50, July 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm not entirely sure, but I do believe that a 2010 repeat is next to impossible here. Not to say a 2010 repeat won't happen, but the chances are not good. I changed the tables below the forumheader and the WAD(Worldwide activity discussion) now has it's own forum. I expect a major or two to come in the season's peak, but per 2003 and last year, that's not a gurantee, but again, it's not likely we won't have a peak-season major hurricane this year. The only thing out there as of now is the new TD in the WPac(excluding Calvin, he's pretty much gone). Ryan1000 01:33, July 10, 2011 (UTC)
