Well... at least wildfires are calming down?
After Helene, there will be more Atlantic hurricanes to come... A convective pulse (🟢) traversing the basin will move and hold over Africa in the weeks ahead. This will leave the Atlantic very favorable toward additional development. October could be quite a busy month!

Time to bounce from work.

An Atlantic hurricane during the first week of September has been consistently forecast by ECMWF/AIFS over the last two days. It will be interesting to see if the dynamical guidance catches onto this signal or if the artificial intelligence guidance loses it as it get closer...

Quiet Atlantic today behind #Ernesto, on the proverbial "bell ring" day of 8/20. The next (possible) area to watch is a wave a few days from moving off Africa. Some models try to develop this wave as it interacts with the monsoon trough off Africa. Probably 7-10 days from any potential development, though, and it's not a lock due to dry air and uncertainty about wave structure.

I know that smell! Got some wildfire smoke in the #MTL area. Low-concentration; visibility is still great on this beautiful, breezy day (after the deluge yesterday). Image from firesmoke.ca #meteoqc

Debby's passing over Montreal right now. Can see blue sky amidst all the chaos. No, it is not "eerily calm". It is windier than ever and my friend around the corner just lost her power. But she can't come over without a canoe (seriously).

Lights just flickered too... winds are backing to the northeast with time now, and getting stronger as they orient themselves along the valley.
