Misfiring spark plugs all around for the Atlantic. 5Sept24

This highly sheared low level swirl of clouds probably looks the best visually of the four areas being monitored by NHC in the Atlantic. Wind shear blowing any storm formation off to the East currently as generally moves NNE. 4Sept24

Just looking at models:
Could get small spin up well SW of Hawaii Friday.
Eastern Pacific maybe off SW Mexico / South Baja peninsula region next week.
NHC has none on the board for now.
4Sept24

Four areas Atlantic. NHC with between 10% & 30% chance tropical development with them. Still nothing solid in the models for now. 4Sept24

Three areas to watch in the Atlantic as we near peak of Hurricane season with NHC giving them 30, 10 and 30% chance of development each. One near Hispaniola Euro model shows stalling in Bay of Campeche next week which could allow time for development. 3Sept24

Atlantic: 2Sept24
Scattered showers across East Caribbean region NHC 40% development chance either side of Yucatan late this week to early next.
Area just off NW Africa 40% as well near Cabo Verde islands.

Tropical Storm #Hone bringing scattered storms near Midway.
Former #Gilma ghost cloud spin moving Northwest of Hawaii.

Also posting some of those sub-models ('ensembles') for GFS and Euro. You can see the multiple different outcomes for the same general region now into next weekend.

Some like to post 'one model, not a forecast' hurricane doomsday model runs. Models are generally made up of multiple sub-models, run multiple times per day & can show completely different results each run. Models are not forecast. We look for consensus & consistency among models. The most consistent theme is slow potential development currently. This can change in the coming days. NHC forecast low (yellow) to medium (orange) development in the shaded areas for the coming week. 31Aug2024

Two areas being monitored for possible future development in the Atlantic for Labor Day (US holiday) next week. First nears Eastern Caribbean around Monday when could begin to develop (NHC 50% chance). New area coming off Africa 20%. 29Aug2024

Ghost of Tropical Depression #Gilma just Northeast of the Big Island. Scattered storms off to the Northeast of storm center. 29Aug2024

Tropical Storm #Hone now between Honolulu and Midway Island. Wind shear pushing storms off leaving a harmless cloud swirl. Models have it recovering though over open waters. 29Aug2024

Eye of Hurricane #Hone passing just South of Island of Hawai'i (the Big Island). #HIwx For latest storm info from NWS see: https://www.weather.gov/hfo/ & https://www.hurricanes.gov/
(Radar loop about 1:14a-1:32aHST; 414a-432aPDT; 714a-732aEDT Sun 25Aug2024)

Hurricane #Gilma (storm on right) continues to weaken. Expected to fall apart East of Hawaii next week.
Tropical Storm #Hone (near Hawaii) nice cloud swirl but lacking storms until those last few satellite frames.

Did you know?
Central Pacific storm names don't rotate every six years like Atlantic and East Pacific.
Instead the next name on the list is used.
