Hurricane Harbor: NHC Says Nothing For 7 Days. Erick is Gone. Clean Up Goes On. Questions on When Does 2025 in Atlantic Get Going... Remain.

You can see remnant rain from Erick

Tropical Waves Westbound.

Shear near the entrance to the Caribbean.

Dotted clouds are SAL

Note strong tropical wave holding it's own.

That's what they do...run below the SAL

Though SAL inhibits their growth.

And water temps not prime yet in MDR.

Another view of the wave.

Some waves ride with the dust...

...as if they are dancing with them.

And this is why...

NHC says nothing for 7 days.

Erick is gone.

Clean up goes on...

As always this time of year we watch the BOC where remnants of Erick are now raining along the coast. We watch the Atlantic for odd Subtropical Storms that form sometimes off the East Coast on their way up, up and away. We watch old frontal boundaries dead in the water off the US coast that can spin up as Beth did in 1971. And, we watch the tropical waves; partly we watch because we are curious and partly we watch as they are an indicator of conditions out there that may be changing.

Some years start slow and some start fast. Some years start slow such as 1971 and yet the acrobatic tricks of hurricanes that refused to die went on until the very end of the hurricane season. Some start early and end early as cold fronts show up early and .........

Every year is different. Every year is so different. There are always commonalities. 1985 below began fairly late and yet it raged on and on leaving memories along the East Coast of Gloria forever. Last system formed in December, and yet the first system formed in Mid July.
