I bet at least *some* of you have checked TropicalTidbits.com or windy.com and seen the 0Z Euro -- a Cat 3 hurricane (#FIONA) making landfall near St Margarets Bay next Sat AM.
Before you say "we're doomed" let me explain a bit. #NSwx #NBwx #PEwx #NLwx (1/x) Image This is only ONE of several possible solutions. The other two major global models (GFS and CMC) show solutions that are either weaker (CMC) or much farther east (GFS).

Alright: today's the day.
I'm going to use the #CanSIPS to try and figure out some of the puzzle pieces of the #HurricaneSeason, which starts in 14 days.
First thing to notice: NO El Nino. The equatorial Pacific is coolish, & the Atlantic is warm.
El Nino suppresses hurricanes.🧡 Next: there's lots of rising motion over the Indian Ocean (green colour) and sinking motion over the Eastern Pacific (red colour).
That leads to more robust tropical waves coming off Africa, which have a higher chance of developing into tropical cyclones.
