My interpretation: Bermuda High is going to push west into the Mid-Atlantic coast region, steering TCs more into Florida and the Gulf rather than re-curving out in the Atlantic.
IDK Why but I was over focusing on NYC/Boston. Now that I'm seeing the other way, I see a little more central america. Isn't this similar to the setup late summer 98?
The upper-left hand streamlines depict a trough (looks like a "U") at the 500mb level (18,000 feet), compared to the past month or so in which we have had a trough along the east coast. In the forecast for August 29, this allows the Bermuda High to build in to the west, and fill the space previously occupied by the trough. Such a pattern tends to facilitate tropical cyclone landfalls along the south and southeast, if there are tropical cyclones at the time in the general area.
Dallas Raines, the met for KABC Channel 7 in L.A., was saying something last night about a long-range forecast that put a TC off New York city in around two weeks. Might this be what he was referring to?
I don't have any idea what he was talking about - forecasting TCs at two weeks out when there isn't as much as a depression to make guesses about is usually fool's bait.
As for this map, there aren't any depictions of tropical cyclones. This is a map of the 500mb level (about 18,000 feet) and is only showing forecast Highs and Lows at that elevation.
