Calm before storms? Oddly quiet Atlantic despite forecasts

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — It’s been quiet — too quiet — this Atlantic hurricane season, meteorologists and residents of storm-prone areas whisper almost as if not to tempt fate.

A record-tying inactive August is drawing to a close and no storms have formed, even though it is peak hurricane season and all experts’ pre-season forecasts warned of an above normal season. Nearly all the factors that meteorologists look for in a busy season are there.

Yet zero storms formed. Surprised experts point to unusual persistent dry air and a few other factors. But each time they and computer simulations think something is brewing, nothing comes of it.

Just late last week, the computer forecast models predicted three maybe four storms forming, including one becoming a major hurricane with winds of more than 110 mph (177 km/h), Klotzbach said.

Then nothing.

“How dare you!”

It's just God spitting in the eye of all the Gaia earth worshiping global warming heathens.

Where are all the catastrophic hurricanes promised by globull warmists? Ha ha ha hah.

Humada humada humada humada …

They warn of an overly active season every season.

See...A few windmills and a bunch of solar panels and we will have no more hurricanes, no more tornadoes, no more floods, no more volcanic eruptions.

Thank Goodness.....we've been saved by Al and Greta.

[3ZZZ]

Now all the lumber yards and local contractors will go broke, and global warming will be blamed

[basalt]

not one August Hurricane......AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...told ya..

[Sacajaweau]

Ever since Katrina...we’ve been promised Cat 5 on a yearly basis. I laughed at one...it lasted for an hour.

But each time they and computer simulations think something is brewing, nothing comes of it.

Must be using the same computers they use to predict globull warming.

[I want the USA back]

They will forget the predictions of record numbers of hurricanes that they made. If they get caught, they will blame the calm seas on climate change.

AHEM. Computer forecast models for weather are often wrong. You might want to rethink that 1.87 degree temperature rise 100 years from now.

What is a zero storm?

I think this is going to change real soon. The one approaching the Caribbean has my attention.

Boringstein.First it was more storms with climate change. Then it was less storms but greater intensity. Now the green apostles pushing less storms and their scribes in the media working that angle. More snow, climate change. Less snow, climate change. More rain, climate change. Less rain, climate change. Etc etc etc .

Well played sir!

[tinamina]

I think it’s all the volcanoes spewing dust in the air.

[Nachoman]

This is irrefutable proof of climate change. We must pay more taxes! /s

good for people in hurricane areas.....

The GFS had a big one going into the lower gulf and hitting around the Texas/Mexico border on Labor Day Weekend or shortly after. The past few runs, however, have shown snake eyes for the Gulf.
