HURRICANE

This is an outlier in the forecast charts and as such is a long way from being a confident forecast

- BUT lo... there on the horizon, a few thousand mile away, lies an extratropical hurricane. It's perched menacingly in the slot...

Cross reference that chart above from the Seppo forecasters, against the might of the ECMWF modellers in Bracknell (who get it right a lot more often) and there are some similarities with the Azores ridge but the detail is very different - especially to the west of the ridge.

Confidence is low, but this is worth watching carefully.
