(Part 1) Hurricane Season 2010 on par to be bad!
I'm sure the last thing on the minds of Gulf Coast residents at the moment is the hurricane season, not when you see the problems they're having with the oil spill situation, yet hurricane season is fast approaching and conditions are becoming ever more ripe for an active season ahead. The "official" commencement, which is June 1st and to be honest, it might not be all that long before it starts switching on, in terms of storm activity when you look at some forecast models and the conditions unfolding...
Have you seen how warm the Gulf has become lately? Man-alive it has warmed very fast and indeed JOE BASTARDI said like others have for some time now that the Gulf would warm fast as the loop current showed itself whilst the Gulf was still cold..
The entire tropical Atlantic is VERY WARM and this combined with lower than normal sea surface pressures has many worried, it appears all things are looking to be coming together for quite the show in 2010 and I personally fear a possible nearly as active season as 2005 could be approaching.
I am not one to scare, but could another Katrina-like storm return in 2010? Certainly the conditions appear to be about as good as they may ever be, much low pressures forecasted and are occuring now.. the extremely warm water over the eastern and central sub-tropics and the rapid warming of the Gulf ALL FAVOR and active year with the potential for some extremely dangerous storm to develop... Like in 2005, there may not be just 1 cat 5 storm this year. With the overall pressure pattern, the warm over cold profile of the tropical and mid Atlantic ocean means the atmospheric environment looks stunning to harness and produce violent storms...
More on this tomorrow!
