The incipient low for the cyclone forecast to impact the Pacific NW tomorrow looked completely unremarkable late this morning (circled, left). In 36 hours, it is forecast to deepen from 1016mb to 947mb. It is a marvel of modern weather forecasting that these features can be skillfully forecast.

Guess it is as good of a time as any to say this is my first week as a Senior Hurricane Specialist at NHC. Last month marked 4 years since I started at NHC & it has been an incredibly humbling yet fulfilling experience. It is an honor to keep on doing what I love, to help save lives & property. 🌀

One of my all time favorite chases, this strong and slow moving, and meandering EF-3 tornado lasted 30min and took on many forms from a dusty wedge to a vertical stovepipe and this gnarly cone. 08-08-23, Yuma, Colorado.

As a history nerd on the side, it’s fascinating trying to look into the history of meteorology and how our field came to be what it is today. There’s so many small or obscure details lost to time — for example, Charles Darwin makes multiple appearances in early meteorology history.

There’s still just enough uncertainty that some sort of impact to Florida can’t be completely ruled out, but today’s trends have been towards a much weaker storm that fails to make it north of Central America — a Florida hurricane is much less likely to happen.

Almost all guidance this morning abandoned the idea of tropical depression 19 becoming more than a weak tropical storm. The outlier is the HWRF… but its track already deviates way north of the model consensus (and current observations) at hour 24, meaning far less land interaction.

20 yrs ago today a heavy wet snow storm hit Nova Scotia. Temperatures very close to zero led to a thick buildup of icy snow cylinders on electrical lines in Dartmouth, the eventual collapse of electrical towers, and a prolonged power outage. #NSStorm
