There was one going around not long ago of the water temperature right now versus what the water temperature was at this time in 2005, which spawned Katrina. It was...starkly terrifying. I'm sure many who frequent these threads saw it. 

My biggest concern, outside the obvious, is that the anomoly we saw last season where  a storm formed in the south gulf and in a couple days made landfall in Texas as a cat 3 is going to become relatively normal. Normally, as a Houstonian, Florida and Louisianna end up attracting most of the attention from the Atlantic. Storms that thread the needle and hit Houston head on just don't happen all that often. But with this new development, based on such higher water temperatures, I fear that the Texas coast is going to be ripe for much, much more activitiy every season. 

We're working on getting a generator installed, but City of Houston permits are a weeks or month(s) long process, and there's a large backlog after the derecho so...Im definitely puckered. 

Got estimates for hurricane "proof" windows" or dade country windows.as some folks call them and damn they are pricey. At least the supply chain backlog is reasonable now.

Messy CAG setup coming for the gulf next week. With an eastern lobe moving into Florida, and a western lobe moving into the Texas coastline. Euro and Icon show a TS coming out of the Eastern lobe into Florida, while the GFS is back and forth on which one will develop. The CMC is currently favoring the western lobe. We will likely get our first storm in the Gulf next week. Y'all should keep an eye on it.

Not an ensemble spread you would expect or want to see in June

What does that chart show? I’m fishing out of port A (bay side) on June 21. Am I fucked?

That weather model thinks a tropical is low is likely to form in one or two places that are far from Port Aransas, and that there could be a storm hitting the Texas coast. Or Louisiana. Or Bama. Or Florida. Or Cuba. Or Mexico. Or Canada, I think? Basically, it doesn't tell you much.

Ignore everything except for the Gulf, the lines are ensemble members of the GFS forecasting model. Each line is a different model. They show the central pressure of a tropical storm and its path. They show a probability of a storm forming in the Gulf. The exact path or pressure isn't important right now, just that models show a storm forming in the Gulf and moving north. If you've ever seen the spaghetti models, that is what that picture is.

No worries, Troph. I’m scheduled to be fly fishing for tarpon in PR that same day, so that’s where it’ll end up hitting

There is a hefty uptick for a Gulf storm on the Euro and GFS on the latest model run.

Many individual models forecast a potential storm's location, path, and central pressure. There are 21 for the GFS and 51 for the EPS. The important part is how many members are showing a tropical storm. A lot of them like that means a lot of models are showing a tropical storm. 

 

EDIT: Are y'all getting this? I hope I'm doing a decent job of explaining

Appreciate it, question...what's the red line in picture 1? TD or TS I assume.

That is an intense hurricane. That could be a category 2 or 3. The blue is Category 1, and the green is TD/TS. The environment looks abnormally favorable for June.

@Zonahorn I’m getting it, kinda thought that was it - my momma said I had smarts when I was little - anyway, what’s the date range on that model / forecast?

The models go out until June 23rd. The operational model runs have the storm forming late next week around the 13th

I fished with a guide last month that guides PR tarpon season, jealous. Good luck! 

I’m really looking forward to this one. Tarpon on the fly has been near the top (if not the top) of my fishing bucket list since picking up fly fishing 20 years ago. Bones and GT round out the top three, but they’ll have to wait. Will update the fishing thread if it pans out.

Jim Cantore sock account found!

Mikes weather page is a good thing to check daily

Ha! I’d imagine Jim Cantore would be smart enough to not book trips to Costa Rica and Puerto Rico in back to back years, in apparently their rainy seasons. Worked out last year, minimal rain and landed some nice sailfin and roosters, but the forecast isn’t looking so good this year!
