2024 is really trying to contend for costliest hurricane season on record.

Re: Potential development over the Western Caribbean Sea (40/80)
Am I really here in mid-November...talking about a possible mid-to-high-end hurricane hitting Florida from the SW? Or is this like a Twilight Zone episode? LOL. But in all seriousness, model trends definitely concerning. Here in Sarasota they still have piles of yard waste everywhere from Milton. Not to mention the occasional sailboat sitting on a sidewalk/beach. Sheesh...

06z Euro stalls much closer to the coast of Central America than the 00z run. Just a few dozen miles to the west and it would’ve made landfall.
It’s probably going to be a very close call between the Nadine 2.0 and meandering major scenarios. Very small changes in future Sara’s track will make a world of a difference.

Deep trough from the west with a deep low coming in from the south, major energy being shed in the gulf, you can see the storm getting elongated at the end of the run as the trough crushes it

Re: Potential development over the Western Caribbean Sea (40/80)
Missed the model runs the past day or so and just caught up. Very concerning. Would be wild to have a third major hitting Florida and in the middle of November on top of that. Extremely rare. This season has been all about breaking records. 2024 would be outperforming 2020 in intensity if this happens. We did have 2 majors in November 2020 but those both ran west into Central America so seeing one get into the gulf as a major and striking Florida would be wild.

If this pulls a wilma and avoids CA the enviroment looks great for rapid intensification we could be certainly looking at a Cat 4 in the nw Caribbean with only slight weakening on approach to FL if it indeed does that.

Think I'll tie my hopes to the ICON's recent success track forecast success and root for it's 12Z solution
It's 12Z has it dragging the system through CA and Yucatan, with only an eventual TD up near N Fla.

12z GFS with a TD/TS in as little as 36-48 hours, once again missed Central America and stalls out in the WCar.

It did perform pretty well with several Gulf systems this year, so I wouldn’t count it out.
