NHC monitoring 3 disturbances: Could the tropics be waking up? | Tracking the Tropics

The tropics are mostly quiet as we near what's historically known as "peak" hurricane season. In this edition of Tracking the Tropics, our team breaks down what is behind the lack of activity, and the latest on three tropical waves we're keeping an eye on in the Atlantic. WVLA Chief Meteorologist Sam Parish joins WFLA meteorologists Amanda Holly and Rebecca Barry to reflect on the memorable 2004 hurricane season.

The MJO is the culprit. It has been stuck over the West Pacific for a month. The displacement of the African monsoon trough and the positive Indian Ocean Dipole. Those factors are not possible to factor in a 6 month forecast. IOD was expected to be positive, suppressing African waves.

Swirl effect with that cool and warm. Odd formations? Lag yeah. The grounding factor? What would be the conditions of a less intense season? Is there a possibility for there to be a longer season less intense? Curious for a micro study applicational model based on the macro energy flow.

Weather people WANT hurricanes, you can hear the excitement in their voices 🤡💩

I believe we will not see a flying start in September, probably will get 2 or 3 named storms before October arrives.

Aye' ⛈️thanks radar watchers
Wow, yikes that's interesting 🌪️. Damage is exponentially intense down the line with that wind.
Mixing that with 🌊 unintended heavyweight butterfly effect with a plume effect of development. Makes sense.

strongest hurricane spawned 55 tornados and it was from Andrew

Sounds like a lot of static kenetic energy build up. With that not since the 60s energy
