If this thing keeps dawdling along like it is, eventually conditions are going to get better for development, and there sure is plenty of heat available to fuel it when (if) that happens.
The GFS takes four days to move this thing from where it is across southern Florida into the Gulf, and another four days after that before it eventually goes ashore in the Missisippi area. Now it doesn't develop it beyond a weak closed low, but OTOH intensity is hardly the forte of any of the globals.
The Euro is similarly slow, the main difference being that it takes it into the northern Bahamas before heading WSW across the peninsula and into the Gulf, where it also takes it very slowly NNW over several days. It intensifies it a fair bit once into the Gulf.
The Canadian is even more bullish on the system once it gets into the Gulf ...
The point being that it's worth paying attention when the globals start agreeing like this.
