Hybrid system late October east of Florida/north of Bahamas?
      #116342 - Tue Oct 13 2026 08:41 AM

Given the pattern of fronts pushing into Florida on a weekly basis (but not yet scouring out moisture for more than a day or two), followed by high pressure setting up strong onshore flow across the peninsula, it would not be an "October surprise" to see models start to lock in on a hybrid system spinning up in the Atlantic east of Florida and north of the Abacos later in October. Several recent model runs hint at this.

Regardless of cyclogenesis, multi-day episodes of strong onshore winds, especially during the last week of the month when King tides peak, could be very impactful along Florida's east coast.

I was 26 living on a sailboat working at a county park just north of Sebastian Inlet... the analog storm still etched in my memory: Nov_1984_storm.pdf

The most recent ICON run (15/0z) which this model sometimes sniffs out future development where other models miss earlier on, is definitely on board with the general idea, albeit perhaps a bit further north.

So, remarkably, despite the headwinds coming out of the eastern Pacific, the overall state of the Atlantic basin is one I wouldn't write off the rest of this month. Gulf stream probably bears some monitoring.

This appears to be the feature hinted at by some long-range runs mentioned in the original post. FNv3 has caught on to it now, although with not very good odds of development, as of yet.

More Globals are picking up on this now. Conditions for development in the Atlantic basin are, on a relative basis, favorable this month, despite the very strong El Niño, and this potential Area of Interest deserves to be watched.
