I know nothing about weather - will the storm on the west coast cause these storms to track into the SE US because of the low pressure?
Did you read the weather outlook text?

Yep. I'm looking at macro weather events, not the localized forecast.Did you read the weather outlook text?
Doesn’t seem like right now these have much of a chance other than one of them bringing heavy rain to that Caribbean (much needed right now).
... A rare occurrence is when a very strong high pressure builds off the Nova Scotia and Newfoundland region and builds down south and southwest along the US coastline…. Hurricane Isabel did that in 2003 along with Hurricane Hugo in 1989 and Superstorm Sandy in 2012.
That question is way to complex for this board, however very generally, a storm blows off Southwest Africa and may form, being pushed by the westerly equatorial winds towards North and Central America. If it does form a rotational storm, and thats a big if, then it encounters steering forces as it approaches, which are mainly high pressure fronts (which steer it away) and low pressure - which pulls it towards.Yep. I'm looking at macro weather events, not the localized forecast.
As I said, I'm no meteorologist, so I'm wondering on a "macro" scale how the low pressure on the west coast influences the east coast weather as Hilary moves the air in the upper atmosphere towards the west coast.
...Levi (I posted his blog above) does a really good job of explaining all this, and hopefully he will again this year. In previous years he would drop a new vlog daily about any storms that form - and he educates you on all these forces with images and things that make it easy to understand...
Yes, I get it and it’s a good question you have. The reason why I brought up their write ups is because in there they give a percentage of likelihood of formation over different timelines, and some more regular language about if they think it’s going to be of concern and why…Yep.

Forget the charts. Those are hard for meteorologists to digest. Watch his videos. He just dropped a current one. There isn't much to see because the storms are new and far out to sea, but he covers the Atlantic storms starting at about 8:00 minutes in. When you get a big storm closer to land, he goes into far more detail.Thank you for that link; I looked at that earlier and the models went right over my head. I intend to "study up" on it though, and that looks like an excellent resource!
As a retired weatherman from the NWS I must say that this site Mikes Weather Page is a good site for tropical weather...He uses and posts all of the text products from the NHC...
I think he is a weatherman in his own right, having gone to school with a niece of mine in Savannah. His blogs add a little more explanation (at times) than the NHC does.As a retired weatherman from the NWS I must say that this site Mikes Weather Page is a good site for tropical weather...He uses and posts all of the text products from the NHC...

I’d tend to agree. And this goes into the thinking and language that the nhc uses when writing those reports.It doesn’t affect much thousands of miles to the east in this case…. Practically zero in fact… If we are referencing the vast majority of the western Atlantic….
Now if there was a storm that n the far western Gulf of Mexico… then it could have an effect.
He has a degree in marketing and none in meteorology...He is just nuts about weather and does a good job on his page...I think he is a weatherman in his own right, having gone to school with a niece of mine in Savannah. His blogs add a little more explanation (at times) than the NHC does.

There have been decent changes since last night.
