Once inland later this week, Helene will be pulled... the northwest, rotating around an upper low over Arkansas. This is known as the "Fujiwhara effect", which is pretty unusual at this latitude. The tropical system and the upper low will basically rotate around each other.show more

An upper level low is forecast to develop near... Cuba this weekend. The lurking low is expected to bring a surge of tropical moisture and higher rain chances to Florida through early next week.#flwxshow more

Here’s a look at the steering for next week... for the (potential) dueling tropical cyclones. The very unusual Sept pattern continues with another deep trough digging into the east, likely deflecting the systems offshore. The caveat is the upper low “cuts off” from the jet stream and some solutions retrograde (move it backwards) the upper low. If that occurs, the coastal cyclones makes a closer pass, perhaps too close for comfort. Too early for details as this is an extremely complex forecast, with all 3 systems doing a delicate dance with each other. Stay tuned!! #hurricaneshow more

HELENE will be a MAJOR impact well inland. Georgia,... the western Carolina's, Tennessee and Kentucky! This is actually a rare meteorological setup for this side of the world. This is called the "Fujiwara Effect" -- notice how major hurricane Helene gets boomeranged NW and around a low pressure aloft over west TN. Think like two planets orbiting each other than consolidating into one. This complicated, and uncommon meteorological process will help keep the forward speed of the remnants very high. Destructive wind gusts throughout central Georgia, Atlanta area and east TN. This won't be like Ike remnants in 2008 in TN/KY but I think will surprise many with the inland wind gusts Friday well inland. I could see 50-60 MPH gusts all the way to the Ohio River solely due to this complex meteorological phasing. Most times, a hurricane this time of the year goes NE, not hooks a hard NW (left) turn when inland. Really, a rare occurrence.show more

This is arguably one of the most complex steering... scenarios in recent memory!! Two hurricanes(?), a stalled cut-off upper low, and a deep Greenland cold pool diving south. How all these factors interact with each other is driving the models (and meteorologists lol) up the wall!! Will soon to be #Imelda be pulled into the Carolina coast by the cut-off low as many solutions show? Or will #Hurricane #Humberto drag Imelda gradually out to sea, as Humberto gets dragged north by the large Greenland jet stream trough? Only time will tell, but folks from FL’s northeast coast to the Carolina’s especially should stay weather aware. More obviously Imelda will impact the Bahamas this weekend-early next week and Bermuda needs to watch #Humberto. In all this, a #Fujiwhara pivot is possible! WFLA NEWSshow more

Fujiwhara?? When two hurricanes interact, they can sometimes pivot... around one another. Next week there will likely be 2 tropical cyclones (perhaps 2 hurricanes) offshore. If they are strong enough, and are close enough, a #Fujiwhara may happen. Here’s how it works. Between the 2 storms is a pivot point (sort of like a fulcrum on a seesaw), it happens to be near where the sinking/ driest air is. If conditions are right we may see them pivot, or if one’s stronger (Bermuda hurricane) its force will sling shot the weaker one around it. Still not clear to what degree the Fujiwhara effect will be in effect, but it ought to be interesting! BTW Sakuhei Fujiwhara was the Japanese meteorologist who first observed the phenomenon. #hurricane WFLA NEWS #Humberto #Imeldashow more

An incredibly rare situation as Imelda and Humberto *merge*... in the Northwest Atlantic – two active hurricanes combining into one larger, more powerful hurricane! On Tuesday morning, Humberto and Imelda were separated by just 476.4 miles – second place to the record for closest Atlantic hurricanes. (Two hurricanes in 1853 made it to within 428 miles of one another). When hurricanes pass within 800 or 900 miles of each other, they interact in a rare dance called the "Fujiwhara." Basically, they dance around each other. Humberto was initially a much stronger hurricane. Over the weekend, it yanked Imelda eastward. That technically means that a hurricane helped spare the U.S. a strike from another hurricane! How ironic and bizarre is that!? But now Imelda is the stronger hurricane. It has winds of 90 mph, and Humberto's winds are at 80 mph. In the next couple days, Imelda will ingest Humberto's vorticity, or spin, and the two low pressure systems will fold into one larger, more powerful low over the northwest Atlantic. It will probably retain hurricane-strength winds, and it's likely the Hurricane Center will allow Imelda to keep its name! The Fujiwhara effect has happened before – iconic examples of the Fujiwhara dance were observed with Odette and Seroja in the Indian Ocean in 2021, or Hilary and Irwin in the eastern Pacific in 2017. The Fujiwhara effect happens with atmospheric vortices of all scales. For nontropical (midlatitude) cyclones to be influenced by each other’s presence and interact, they need to be within about 1,500 to 2,000 miles. Their interaction becomes more intense once they’re within about 1,200 miles. Hurricanes are smaller, so that threshold is smaller. But even tornadoes orbit one another in Fujiwhara-like interactions! When a storm spawns multiple tornadoes simultaneously, the twisters tend to swirl around each other in a counterclockwise fashion. In fact, that happens regularly with what’s called cyclical tornadogenesis, or the process by which rotating supercells produce successive tornadoes. A dying twister is tugged ahead of its successor, then swirled left (north) into the rain and hail where it’s stretched into oblivion. As its predecessor dissipates, the new, stout tornado matures and begins tracing its large counterclockwise path. These handoffs can happen every 15 or 20 minutes in powerhouse thunderstorms. The Fujiwhara effect can even manifest within individual tornadoes. Most tornadoes contain smaller whirlwinds called subvortices. They last a few seconds each, and whip around the parent funnel. Individual subvortices can locally enhance the parent tornado’s wind field, leading to narrow swaths of extreme destruction. That’s why one home might be obliterated while a neighboring structure escapes unscathedshow more
