Hawaii Hurricane Dora

Hurricane Dora

We talked about Hawaii getting hit this year and sure enough, Hurricane Dora goes by, doesn’t hit directly, but has a major influence on the island. 

An area of High Pressure to the north of Hawaii and Dora to the south created a convergence of clockwise rotation (High Pressure) and counterclockwise rotation (LowPressure) with Hawaii in the middle of the convergence zone.  This created hurricane like winds (cat 1) that fueled the wildfires.

I was watching this tropical storm become a hurricane, which is an indication of what we saw last fall.  This picture below, in July last year, was during the setup of the new pattern.  The circled area occurred in two pre-cycles last year.  The 22 path of the second low is identical to this year’s pattern path (following chart).

Sept 28th plus or minus a week, is the possible return of Hurricane Dora, so we will officially add this date to the list.  Last year, Florida was hit twice, Ian Sept 28th, and Nicole Nov 8th.

Possible Hurricane Dates

Below are the possibilities for hurricanes and locations.  Sometimes we get the date right and the location is different.  That has happened, if you recall a couple of years ago when we predicted the exact date of Hurricane Ida but predicted the storm to hit near the Texas/Louisiana coast. 

I have some ideas on these alternate locations.  The storm from 2 years ago spawned in the correct location, but the trade winds were in a different set-up, creating the path of which Ida eventually took.  Understanding each cycles wind currents will give us a better chance of getting the location possibilities narrowed.  

Below are the early opportunities for Hurricanes using our long-range prediction formula.  Followed by the more likely scenario.
