Forum:2014 Pacific hurricane season/June

AoI:Tropical Wave
Just entered the basin, we could see development in a week's time from now. Models aren't very enthusiastic but MJO is still sitting around. - HurricaneSpin (Talk)  01:44, May 29, 2014 (UTC)
 * MJO's been gone for a bit. It's in the WPAC/CPAC I though. YE Pacific Hurricane  02:36, May 29, 2014 (UTC)
 * 0/40%. YE Pacific Hurricane  00:04, May 30, 2014 (UTC)
 * I think we'll see Boris from this in about a few days! Here it comes, future-Boris and the epic Amanda are just the beginnings of what appears to be a very active season. This season's going to be a wild ride for sure now!  Steve  820  ✉   00:16, May 30, 2014 (UTC)
 * Let's be calm here. This could be bad. Models bring it into Mexico. It is gonna be a large system that is moving slowly. YE Pacific Hurricane  01:45, May 30, 2014 (UTC)
 * 10/50%. Could be invest'd soon. YE Pacific Hurricane  12:33, May 30, 2014 (UTC)
 * Yep, it could be. The guys in Mexico should keep their eyes out for future Boris. I have a feeling we might see a destructive Mexican storm from this invest.  Steve  820  ✉   22:55, May 30, 2014 (UTC)
 * 30/70 now. It's getting there. YE Pacific Hurricane  23:47, May 30, 2014 (UTC)


 * Winds are currently at 25 MPH leeboy100 (talk) 17:28, May 31, 2014 (UTC)

93E.INVEST
Invest'd. But we don't know for sure how many knts it is due to the ATCF blackout. YE Pacific Hurricane  20:52, May 31, 2014 (UTC)


 * Now at 40%/70%. Most of the models take it northward towards either southern Mexico or even Guatemala. At best I could see this becoming a minimal hurricane like Barbara from last year before impacting them, nothing stronger. It will more likely be a TS when it gets there though. Ryan1000 21:22, May 31, 2014 (UTC)
 * 25/1009 per ATCF. - <font color="#000000">HurricaneSpin <font color="#654321">(Talk)  21:24, May 31, 2014 (UTC)


 * This system might help the Atlantic to get Arthur,as some models are showing a similar situation with Alma and Arthur of 2008.Allanjeffs 22:23, May 31, 2014 (UTC)
 * 60/80 now. Other than southerly shear, things look good. GOT storms tend to spin up rapidly. YE <font color="#66666">Pacific <font color="#66666">Hurricane  00:27, June 1, 2014 (UTC)
 * That's not good, especially if it remains offshore long enough. Amanda was nice because it remained well away from land, but this is forecast to make landfall in southern Mexico/Guatemala. Hopefully it doens't get too strong before its landfall. Ryan1000 01:23, June 1, 2014 (UTC)
 * This invest (Future-Boris) could be a destructive storm for Mexico. I feel bad for those guys in Mexico. Hopefully it won't get too strong, but they still need to get prepared for this thing. <font face="Times New Roman"> Steve  820  ✉   03:09, June 1, 2014 (UTC)




 * Uh oh, this is not good. I spy a developing cirulation and increasingly favorable conditions. A tropical depression could easily form in the next couple of days. Chance of formation: 70% for the next two days and 90% for the next five days. Western Central America and southern Mexico are getting flooded. Allan, how are you doing? Andrew  Talk To Me  Contribs  Mail Me  14:36, June 1, 2014 (UTC)
 * A depression could come anytime today from this invest. Not good for southern Mexico, they're getting flooded from this thing. Hopefully Allan is safe. <font face="Times New Roman"> Steve  820  ✉   16:34, June 1, 2014 (UTC)


 * Lol I am doing good.My graduation is in June 13 and I am going to study physics. That is a reason I have not been here much is because I had been studying and preparing things for prom and the trip we are going to make with my classmates.How are you doing Andrew? Steven? Lol steven why are you worried? I live in La Ceiba Honduras this invest will not affect me at all. tbh we are desperate for rain in here. Many crops are dying and with the almost el niño in here which bring drought to us the outlook doesn't look better.Allanjeffs 16:40, June 1, 2014 (UTC)


 * On the subject of precipitation, the GFS is putting a lot of emphasis on a plume of moisture that extends from the position of 93E towards the northeast into Cuba and southern Florida. Ensembles pointing towards a precip. maxima in Guatemala.  CobraStrike  ( t )( b )(c) 20:18, June 1, 2014 (UTC)

Jeez, this thing's been at high chance for a while...just become Boris already. Now 90% for the next 2-5 days. Ryan1000 17:58, June 2, 2014 (UTC)

Tropical Depression Two-E

 * Its here and expected to become Boris and leave torrential rains in Mexico.Allanjeffs 20:48, June 2, 2014 (UTC)
 * Not likely to move much. A lot of uncertainty though. YE <font color="#66666">Pacific <font color="#66666">Hurricane  20:58, June 2, 2014 (UTC)
 * It's not moving very fast, and won't make landfall until Saturday according to the current forecast. It's only forecast to peak at 50 mph, but Amanda was also initially only forecast to peak as a TS, and look what it did in the end...the GoT has some of the warmest waters in the western hemisphere (the Gulf of California has the warmest), and wind shear is a very light 5-10 knots over the storm. Hopefully it doesn't RI over the next few days...Ryan1000 23:01, June 2, 2014 (UTC)
 * I think this will be named "Boris" tonight or Tuesday morning. I can't believe they're forecasting a very slow motion, I feel bad for southern Mexico. Hope this isn't a re-Agatha. <font face="Times New Roman"> Steve  820  ✉   01:07, June 3, 2014 (UTC)


 * ..THE CENTER OF THE TROPICAL CYCLONE WILL BE

NEAR THE COAST IN THE WARNING AREA BY LATE TUESDAY OR EARLY WEDNESDAY. That mean less time over water as it was expected to make landfall on Saturday.Allanjeffs 06:06, June 3, 2014 (UTC)


 * That's better news intensity-wise, but still not sure with regards to it's potential for flash floods and mudslides. Ryan1000 11:35, June 3, 2014 (UTC)

 * 71, stop it. Tropical cyclones are powerful forces of nature and while they're incredible to watch out to sea, the ones that affect people we have to be serious about. We shouldn't be cheering for storms like Boris that could possibly kill hundreds of people. It's immature and not what these forums are supposed to be about. Anyways, looks like it's making landfall tomorrow morning, it won't get much stronger than it is now, but heavy rain and floods/mudslides will still be a threat. Ryan1000 02:37, June 4, 2014 (UTC)

Tropical Depression Boris
Down to a TD, still causing heavy rains, and forecast to die tomorrow. Ryan1000 12:32, June 4, 2014 (UTC)

Remnants of Boris
NHC issued their last advisory on Boris and it's dead. Flash floods/mudslides will remain a big threat over southern Mexico though, and combined with the Bay of Campeche invest could make it even worse. Hopefully we won't end up with a 50+ deaths toll once it's all done, I think this is a much weaker and tamer version of Manuel and Ingrid back in September 2013. And 71, it was very immature to say that because this storm has potential to caused hundreds to rest in peace. We gotta take storms like this seriously, and in fact, I heard you could be banned from this wiki if you cheer on a storm that could kill hundreds or thousands. That's just very impolite, especially for the victims of the devastating storm. <font face="Times New Roman"> Steve  820  ✉   00:03, June 5, 2014 (UTC)


 * Updated the header since it formed in June. In the NHC's EPac summary for May, Amanda set a record for making May 2014 the most active month in May in terms of ACE, eclipsing the former record set in 2001 by Adolph. Ryan1000 23:50, June 5, 2014 (UTC)

94E.INVEST
News invest; at 10/40. The GFS isn't too optimistic, showing a midgrade tropical storm. However, the ECMWF and HWRF make this a 973mb and 970mb hurricane, respectively. I would not dismiss the HWRF after Amanda so quickly. I think we could see a hurricane out of this as shear is suppose to decrease to 0 accoridng to the SHIPS. The SHIPS and LGEM make this our second hurricane of the season. YE <font color="#66666">Pacific <font color="#66666">Hurricane  14:38, June 7, 2014 (UTC)
 * I think it'll become Cristina since it's got favorable enough conditions ahead. Hopefully we'll see a hurricane out of this, <font face="Times New Roman"> Steve  820  ✉   16:51, June 7, 2014 (UTC)
 * HWRF has a lot of intensity forecasting problems, but after Amanda, I guess anything in EPac could surprise us. This may be only 20% for two days, but it's 60% for the next five, and conditions are more than favorable enough in front of it for it to become the season's second hurricane, maybe even second major if it blows up fast enough. Ryan1000 21:56, June 7, 2014 (UTC)
 * HWRF does, but so far this season, it's been doing well. Not to mention the GFS is now on board with Euro/HWRF and bombing this out. CMC shows a solid TS. Really the GFDL is the only unaggressive one due to strong shear. Still, it's gonna be over warm waters for like a week. Gonna be fun; a major is possible, but not certain. YE <font color="#66666">Pacific <font color="#66666">Hurricane  22:15, June 7, 2014 (UTC)
 * I don't doubt this to become Cristina even a hurricane is possible. The problem with this is the  dry air that might surround it. Dry is a killer no matter if shear is perfect or water temeperatures if there is dry air it will be tough for it to strength.Allanjeffs 22:30, June 7, 2014 (UTC)
 * Well, I still root for this invest to become a major (remember Amanda's stunt?). The dry air shouldn't inhibit it too much. Future-Cristina will probably be a hurricane, but there's a slight chance at major status too if it strengthens rapidly. <font face="Times New Roman"> Steve  820  ✉   22:53, June 7, 2014 (UTC)
 * Allan, your wrong here. Dry air can not enter the storm's LLC if there is no shear, which they won't in 5 days. And it's got a large circulation, which could help fight dray air (which is quite common in the EPAC) Even then most of the dry air was fileted by Amanda. Anyhow, this is up to 40/80. YE <font color="#66666">Pacific <font color="#66666">Hurricane  23:59, June 7, 2014 (UTC)


 * Environmental conditions are improving significantly for Invest 94E. I predict a weak hurricane from this system. Andrew  Talk To Me  Contribs  Mail Me  01:05, June 8, 2014 (UTC)
 * (Edit conflict) Where are the intensity betting charts? That was pretty fun last year, maybe we should create another one here on this Wiki. Anyway it's currently 25/1007, wobbled to the N a bit during the last hours. Believe it or not, I think a tropical depression could form 09Z, and I'm rooting on NHC to raise this to 80/90 next TWO. My guess is that it should peak around 80/979 (kts). - <font color="#000000">HurricaneSpin <font color="#654321">(Talk)  01:09, June 8, 2014 (UTC)
 * Haven't made such a thing yet on this wiki, but I suppose we could use one for this year. I'm expecting a major hurricane at best, and a minimal hurricane at least. Looks quite a bit better now, I wouldn't be surprised if we're gonna end up talking about Christina later today or tomorrow. Ryan1000 02:35, June 8, 2014 (UTC)
 * HS is talking about something that isn't related to HWiki, it kinda is to WPTC. I disagree though that's it gonna get classified soon, remember the LLC is still on the north side of the deep convection. I'd give it 6o/90 personally, but the NHC kept it at 40/80.

 * Why all the negativity? Are you guys checking what I say at other forums? :P It's still 40/80 and looks okay. Yes, models have backed off somewhat, and it probably won't become a major hurricane. A Cat 1 or a TS is still possible SST's are fairly warm, shear is suppose to relax, I see a little dry air affecting this system slightly, but it mostly lies around 20N. The reason why models backed off is that it is moving more quicker, and a little more to the NW. Sometimes the models have an equatorword bias (paralytically the Euro), and they bust. This is what happened in 2013, and the same reason why almost all the storm were weak. But remember, its only June, which in 1st year El Nino's aren't suppose to the be most active month. YE <font color="#66666">Pacific <font color="#66666">Hurricane  15:33, June 8, 2014 (UTC)

Up to 50/80. Though I'd go with 30/60 to be honest. Model support is even less now, and it looks ugly. YE <font color="#66666">Pacific <font color="#66666">Hurricane  23:49, June 8, 2014 (UTC)

94E starting to balloon in convection and expanse, continues to organize this morning. Now 60/90 according to the NHC.  CobraStrike  ( t )( b )(c) 15:31, June 9, 2014 (UTC)


 * Now 90/90, should become TD 3-E anytime now, and Cristina shortly after. Ryan1000 19:24, June 9, 2014 (UTC)

Tropical Depression Three-E
TD. 70 knt peak. YE <font color="#66666">Pacific <font color="#66666">Hurricane  20:44, June 9, 2014 (UTC)


 * Sounds reasonable. I expect it to peak a little higher than that before the dry air gets to it, but either way, it'll be heading away from land. Ryan1000 22:48, June 9, 2014 (UTC)


 * I don't understand why NHC was so conservative on the TWO probabilities, but here we are with Cristina around the corner. Don't know what you guys think but personally I could see a hurricane by tomorrow 15Z or 21Z, or in fact even 09Z, a lot sooner than NHC predicted. I think it could peak around 979/80 up to 956/105 (kts). - <font color="#000000">HurricaneSpin <font color="#654321">(Talk)  23:01, June 9, 2014 (UTC)


 * The storm is in highly conducive conditions but as the NHC said earlier in the discussion Three-E will not be able to intensify at a quicker pace if the mid-level and low-level centers are indeed displaced and elongated. We saw with Hurricane Ernesto in 2012 how impressive satellite presentation coinciding with a storm decoupled internally only leads to the storm falling apart, at least temporarily. We shall see how quickly these centers become affixed over one another for Three-E to take off.  CobraStrike  ( t )( b )(c) 23:19, June 9, 2014 (UTC)

 * Yay, Cristina has formed! I still think it'll be a Category 2 but now I'm going a bit more towards the strong Cat 1 side (85-90 mph). It should be fun to track, but if it pulls of an Amanda I'll be very shocked. Environmental conditions aren't favorable for any extreme intensification, unlike Amanda, who literally drank a full bottle of caffeine after being presented with very favorable conditions. <font face="Times New Roman"> Steve  820  ✉   03:13, June 10, 2014 (UTC)


 * I say this one at most will be a cat 1 but with 80mph. Might be a ts if it doesn't strength rapidly.Allanjeffs 13:28, June 10, 2014 (UTC)


 * Wow I'm missing out on the season, I've been busy (again). I didn't even know Boris already came and went. Anyways wunderground says this could become a hurricane tomorrow   and winds are currently at 45 MPH.  leeboy100 (talk) 17:12, June 10, 2014 (UTC)


 * I mean on Thursday, sorry I looked at it wrong  leeboy100 (talk) 17:14, June 10, 2014 (UTC)
 * No one seems to update the active storms I guess... :/ Well anyways, this should be a hurricane in a day or two, but I don't expect this to Amanda-out and become a very strong major. Cat 2 or minimal cat 3 is the best I can see coming from Cristina. Ryan1000 21:06, June 10, 2014 (UTC)
 * I think it could become a hurricane in 2 advisories (09Z). I see no reason other than time constraint for it not to strengthen, intensity could reach MH but mostly likely in the 2~3 range. - <font color="#000000">HurricaneSpin <font color="#654321">(Talk)  23:02, June 10, 2014 (UTC)

 * Adv birngs it up to 55 knts. Lots of lighting noted, which is a strong indicator of RI. I think this could be a hurricane tomorrow morning. In order for RI to happen, dry air needs to decrease and CDO needs to become better organized. If that happens it could bomb out IMO. Dry air entering the E side now. CDO looks weird, but it could be Cristina's way of keeping it out. YE <font color="#66666">Pacific <font color="#66666">Hurricane  03:01, June 11, 2014 (UTC)

Hurricane Cristina
Cat 1, now 75 mph, 990 mbar, forecast to peak at cat 2. Ryan1000 10:46, June 11, 2014 (UTC)


 * It has strengthened to 80 mph (70 kts) and 986 mbars, a peak of 85 knots (100 mph) is predicted by the NHC before weakening. Looks like we might see a Cat. 2 out of this, but there's still an outside shot of C3 if it strengthens rapidly. <font face="Times New Roman"> Steve  820  ✉   22:29, June 11, 2014 (UTC)
 * Cat 2 now, 85 kt/975 mbar. It'd be really cool if we could have two majors less than a month into the season... --Dylan (HurricaneMaker99) 02:41, June 12, 2014 (UTC)
 * If Cristina becomes our second major by later today or tomorrow, it would be the earliest 2nd major hurricane of any EPac season on record, beating 2010's Darby by two weeks. It's not going to be a major for very long though, if it does become one. Ryan1000 03:24, June 12, 2014 (UTC)
 * Stupid Carlotta not being 100 knts. Otherwise, we'd be breaking Carlotta's record. But Cristina is stunning. Probs why the EPAC is so awesome. And I can tell this only the begging. I think this will be a major. Also of note, Cristina is tied for the 2nd earliest 3rd storm, behind Agatha 92, and tied with Carlos 85.

 * Wow, how incredible. I thought it might have had a shot at 135 mph earlier today, but 150? God damn. It's now just 5 mph and 3 mbars behind Amanda. It might even have a shot at cat 5 briefly before it winds down, which would become the second earliest cat 5 ever, only 6 (or 7, if tomorrow) days after Ava in 1973. Dylan, one more notable fact is that since Elida in 1984 reached cat 4 on July 1st, this year is the first season ever with two category 4's recorded in the EPac before July. Best part is, they're both fishspinners. Keep it coming, Cristina! Ryan1000 19:24, June 12, 2014 (UTC)

 * If Cristina is undergoing an ERC then hopefully it rebounds nicely. Anyway, a fun little piece of trivia: this is first Cristina to reach hurricane strength since the name debuted 30 years ago, and Cristina '84 only made it to Category 2, making Cristina '14 the strongest incarnation by a wide margin. --Dylan (HurricaneMaker99) 21:14, June 12, 2014 (UTC)
 * WOAH!!!! This is absolutely insane!! I never expected you to pull an Amanda on us! This EPac season is already starting to get really crazy, my gosh! Looks like it won't become a Category 5 though, it's already undergoing an ERC and environmental conditions could start getting more unfavorable afterwards. A Category 5 might come sooner than I thought, probably in July or August!

Eh...Cristina is winding down from here on out YE, I'm afraid from here on out we'll be saying good-bye to Cristina. It had it's chance at cat 5, but it seems like it missed it, just like Amanda. But it's still an amazing storm to track nonetheless. Ryan1000 22:42, June 12, 2014 (UTC)
 * YE, it's not having an ERC right now, and I never said it was. However, it could very well undergo ERC soon.

Hurricane Cristina (2nd time)
Still on its way down, now a Category 2 with 90 kt winds and a pressure of 971 mbar. I should mention that according to Eric Blake's Twitter (@EricBlake12), before this year, we had never had two 150 mph storms before September. This year, we pulled it off BEFORE JULY. --Dylan (HurricaneMaker99) 12:32, June 13, 2014 (UTC)
 * He's kinda wrong. Emilia/Gilma 94 were Cat 5's well before September 1994. YE <font color="#66666">Pacific <font color="#66666">Hurricane  14:14, June 13, 2014 (UTC)
 * That's a good point, plus John was a Category 5 before September that year as well. He might have been referring to the EPAC proper, since Emilia, Gilma, and John all peaked in the CPAC. That being said, Emilia didn't peak until over a month from today, so we're still ahead of 1994 in that regard. --Dylan (HurricaneMaker99) 14:24, June 13, 2014 (UTC)
 * BTW, the new advisory has just been issued, and it looks like you were wrong, YE; the forecast discussion says that Cristina seems to be finishing up an ERC. It's kind of a bummer that an ERC had to stop Cristina's strengthening trend like a brick wall after it shot up 25 kts in 6 hours; I'll fashion a guess that we otherwise probably would've gotten our first Category 5 in four years out of this storm. But hey, this is Mother Nature we're talking about, and there's nothing we can really do about it except hope that we finally get a Category 5 later this year (as long as it's away from land, of course!) Anyway, Cristina's still weakening, but at a slower rate than before. 85 kt/973 mbar now. --Dylan (HurricaneMaker99) 14:41, June 13, 2014 (UTC)
 * I also hope we get a Cat. 5 this year, it'll be incredible to watch the first C5 in the EPac since Celia in 2010 (if it's away from land of course)! Anyway, Cristina was an epic storm, wish it would've become a Category 5 but instead that ERC had to stop its strengthening trend. Bye, Cristina! You were awesome to track! <font face="Times New Roman"> Steve  820  ✉   15:24, June 13, 2014 (UTC)


 * The ERC of Cristina is nearing completion. The hurricane still has a short window to reintensify before meeting unfavorable conditions. A trough will soon pick up Cristina and cause its acceleration. For now, its intensity is at 80 knots (90 mph, 150 km/h)/978 mbar (hPa; 28.88 inHg) per the NHC and 85 knots (100 mph) per the JTWC, gusting to 105 knots (120 mph). As a general comment about the EPAC, I am very impressed overall with what the basin has given us. As a matter of fact, our ACE (29.2975 units) is already more than all of 1977's! Andrew  Talk To Me  Contribs  Mail Me  21:09, June 13, 2014 (UTC)


 * "Therefore, it is unlikely that Cristina will recover much after the eyewall replacement, and continued steady weakening is expected during the entire forecast period" Wow, this is unfortunate that Cristina will probably be on its way out. The ERC is almost done and there is a brief opportunity for to maintain its intensity. I still think it could strengthen more, but not near to its former intensity (maybe category 2/3). Strong hurricanes like these that don't directly impact land are always interesting to track. This year will be surely full of surprises. EDIT: Looks slightly better right now, and based on microwave imagery it has lost all of its rainbands. If its eye were to clear out, it could resemble that of an annular hurricane. - <font color="#000000">HurricaneSpin <font color="#654321">(Talk)  22:29, June 13, 2014 (UTC)
 * NHC says it might be able to hang on for another day or so until it powers down even further, since conditions are still favorable. It has a slight chance to rebound up to cat 2 again, but otherwise, from here on out, Cristina will slowly die away. Ryan1000 01:47, June 14, 2014 (UTC)

Tropical Storm Cristina (2nd time)
The ERC sealed the deal for Cristina. Convective organization has very quickly degraded, and the LLCC is near an elongated convective band. Based on CI numbers, the NHC has downgraded the storm's intensity to 60 knots (70 mph, 110 km/h)/990 mbar (hPa; 29.24 inHg). Gale force winds extend 70 miles (110 km) from the center. Swells will continue to pose a threat for Mexico in the coming day. Through rapid weakening inducted by vertical shear and cold SST's, Cristina should be nothing but a forgotten memory within 48 hours. Andrew Talk To Me  Contribs  Mail Me  15:44, June 14, 2014 (UTC)
 * It looks like you beat me to it. :P Anyways, so much for the storm rebounding, it looks to be weakening for good now! Bye Cristina, you were an incredible storm! <font face="Times New Roman"> Steve  820  ✉   16:09, June 14, 2014 (UTC)
 * It might hang on for 3 more days or so until dissipating, but dang, that was incredible to watch. Looks like the EPac has pulled a lot of RI surprises on us lately. I wouldn't be surprised if we see more later in the season. Ryan1000 19:42, June 14, 2014 (UTC)
 * I did some research and it turns out Cristina is the northernmost hurricane this early in the year (06-14) in the EPac proper outside of Boris 1990 and a 1958 storm. Damn is the SST warm for this time of the year - <font color="#000000">HurricaneSpin <font color="#654321">(Talk)  01:44, June 15, 2014 (UTC)


 * Convection is all but devoid in Cristina. Many of the models forecast a northwestward turn out to sea. A small cold upper-low has induced shear with the storm, prompting a potential brief re-intensification of the system. Nevertheless, it should not be long before Cristina is dead. Current intensity: 35 knots (40 mph, 65 km/h)/1003 mbar (hPa; 29.62 inHg). Also, our ACE value as of 0300 UTC June 15 is 31.2825 units, the record high for this time of year and the second highest pre-July EPAC ACE value after only 2010 (at least I think so) ... Andrew  Talk To Me  Contribs  Mail Me  12:30, June 15, 2014 (UTC)
 * Pre-July 1984 had the former record before 2010, though I'm not sure if the ACE that year is lower than this year at this point. I guess we'll have to wait and see what NHC says in two weeks. Hagbis in WPac is in the same boat as Cristina, it's being sheared apart as it nears China and it probably won't do too much. Ryan1000 12:55, June 15, 2014 (UTC)

If this pulls the same stunt Amanda and Cristina did, we'll have 3 cat 4 hurricanes before July, a record for EPac, let alone 3 majors. Ryan1000 00:38, June 16, 2014 (UTC)

 * I did some research and saw that, since geostationary satellite observation began in 1966, the earliest date for an EPAC season's third Category 4 is July 17, 1992, when Frank reached that intensity. In addition, the earliest date for an EPAC season's third hurricane to reach winds of at least 130 kts is August 22, set by John '94; in addition, Olivia became the fourth 130-kt storm of that year on September 25. We've got a full month to beat 1992 for the earliest third Category 4, and even more time to beat the two aforementioned 1994 records, but as 2010 demonstrated, what happens in June does not indicate how the rest of the season will go. For all we know, we could rival that year's record-dead activity once June is over (though that would really, really suck). We'll just have to wait and see, and hope that the stories of Amanda and Cristina repeat themselves (minus the few deaths caused by the former). --Dylan (HurricaneMaker99) 22:24, June 16, 2014 (UTC)


 * Development of the wave is being supported by the European model, which develops a tropical depression by Saturday. I see no reason we can not beat the 130 knot records of 1994, given 2014 is going even faster than other El Ninos such as 2006 and 2002. Andrew  Talk To Me  Contribs  Mail Me  22:40, June 16, 2014 (UTC)


 * The tropical wave has become slightly less organized. Chances of development for the next 48 hours have fallen to near 0%. However, development should tag along later this week.

 * I think regardless of development this could have impact on land, likely to Baja Peninsula and around GoC. Also, the TWO numbers aren't very accurate indicators for development. NHC is way to conservative with formation and tend to rely on guidance models. There is currently an upper anticyclone helping 95E's divergence and judging from past systems, convection could organize rapidly. I agree with you on its main inhibitor, which is dry air.

Wasn't too surprised, and I have doubts that we will beat the early cat 4/5 records set by 1992 and 1994. Not impossible we could do it, but those years were record-setters and we'd need a crazy amount of activity in the next month to beat them. On a side note, if the Atlantic doesn't have a named storm in the next week, it'll be the first time in ten years that a storm (of any intensity) didn't form in the Atlantic in June or earlier, there has never been such a streak of early-season storms before. 2005 had Arlene and Bret, 2006 had Alberto, 2007 had Andrea and Barry, 2008 had Arthur, 2009 had TD 1, 2010 had Alex, 2011 had Arlene, 2012 had Alberto, Beryl, Chris, and Debby, and 2013 had Andrea and Barry.

 * Welcome back, there is still a decent chance that we might derail some of the records set in 1992/1994. GFS currently shows a train of storms from this week onwards, and activity should recommence with MJO returning to this side of the world. As for the Atlantic, there's not much I can say. GoM and west Atlantic should stay quiet for a while as the Azores High drops pretty deep into tropical latitudes. This means the tropical waves should bypass the Caribbean Sea, which would make the main development belt inactive.

 * From Baja Insider"That Low that brought showers to the tip of the peninsula is hanging out just to the southwest of Cabo San Lucas as it slowly dissipates. Temps will be seasonal across the peninsula as our updated SST graphics show that our portion of the Eastern Pacific is as much as 3°C/6°F above normal for this time of year. The long range forecasts indicate that we will develop a westward flow to thunderstorms from the mainland. Humidity will rise and afternoon and evening thunderstorms will become possible early next week along the eastern seaboard of Baja. " Looks like you're right on the money. Regarding the ATL, there is actually some potential for stuff of the SE coast per the ECMWF/GFS. 12z GFS only shows 2 storms though; 2 closed isobars=TC, not 1.
