A thunderstorm complex in the upper Ohio valley looks better than anything in the basin.

Just like my You might be a Hurricane nut if stuff
If you have to scroll through piles of Season cancel posts to find a thread from yesterday, it just may be quiet
If a thunderstorm in your area has more convection then anything in the ITCZ, it just may be quiet
If you go to "retrack" storms from last year, it just may be quiet
If you make up a storm to track, it just may be quiet
If the games fourm is BOOMING! (which it isnt) it just may be quiet.

I certainly prefer this quietness to a dangerous storm.
Hurricane Charley's threat...2004...and 2005 have put the fear of
storms in me.
Enjoy this quiet while it lasts. Savor it, and hope
the quietness continues. Once the storms get
going in August-September with high activity...folks in the path
of any storm will be praying for this quietness.

Jeff Masters expects 4-5 storms and a major hurricane this August. Although it is only mid August, I just do not see how we can get anything going when there is 30-40kts of shear all across the Atlantic. You can not even get a tropical storm in 40kts of shear. I've seen some people post shear forecast maps...do those accurately predict the shear? If so, I would love to have a link to one. I appreciate it. Unless we lose the shear it will be very quiet and it does not matter what month it is.

Have you seen what the pulse of activity has done in the western Pacific? That pulse should slowly move east and arrive in the Atlantic in 1-3 weeks. Once that happens...watch out! Things should get crazy.miamicanes177 wrote:Jeff Masters expects 4-5 storms and a major hurricane this August.

BTW, I can not find the large areas of 30-40 knot shear you mentioned on this wind shear map. Looks more like 5-15 knots shear (with a few 20-30 knot pockets). That kind of shear is not too unusual for Aug. 10th:

Yeah I don't see 30-40 kts of shear in the atlantic basin on that picture. So far this is a normal regular Hurricane Season. This overactivity has really spoiled us hurricane trackers.
We will get our turn to track some storms just give it time. I know we keep saying give it time but, that is really what it is.
The season is not dead, the active part hasn't begun.

1. You know things are quiet when you start to track Eastern Pacific Storms very closely.
2. You know things are quiet when you get very exicted over a thunderstorm in your area.
3. You know things are quiet when all you talk about is how crazy the 2005 Atlantic Hurricane Season was.
4. You know things are quiet when you don't visit the NHC site more then 3 times a day.
