NON-TROPICAL LOW PRESSURE/GALE AREA, S of NS
Just went over the 12Z GFS run and it is indicating a possible warm core system forming around the 18th apprx?
This is the first I have noticed of this.
GFS analyzes this as a warm core low.
GFS 850mb vorticity 48hours

yes perhaps it is, here is an animated GFS run showing this low moving up the east coast and out to sea:

Yes, we have a low forming on a cold front just off the Mid Atlantic Coast. It'll head out to sea. Doesn't look tropical, and since it's heading out the sea the NHC will probably ignore it.
Are you talking about this?
Secondly The GFS doesn't have an area of low pressure forming until around the 17th or 18th.. not today.
12Z GFS 06 hour 850mb Vorticity.
You can see the low you are talking about
http://moe.met.fsu.edu/cgi-bin/gfstc2.c ... hour=006hr
This low forms and moves out but, a new low is being depicted to form in the same general area as the first low formed as depicted in the vorticity run below.
If you look at this graphic you can see the date it which it is predicting the future low.
http://moe.met.fsu.edu/cyclonephase/gfs ... urrent.png
Watch as the current low off the coast moves up and a new area forms.

Just wanted to clarify what I was watching on GFS.

I had heard Dr. Lyons talk about this in his last tropical update on TWC this morning. About an area high pressure aloft developing over that area of thunderstorms. But he also said it was a long shot for tropical or sub-tropical development.

NWS Miami talks about this area in their AFD this afternoon maybe affecting South FL. next week. THoughts and comments welcomed.

You can see the GFS develop a pretty healthy storm offshore in 102hrs:

Sorry i dont see anything in the Atlantic that has a remote possibility to even turn into a depression at this time. All of this years storms will be in August and September. I think that a change in this years numbers in the near future should go down. I just dont see the amount of tropical storms and hurricanes they are calling for to develop in only a 2 month period basically because we only usually see a couple of hurricanes if any in the month of October and every now and then 1 storm in November. I dont watch the models till something actually looks decent enough and has the environment around the area it is in to intensify.

And......... Mark Sudduth sums it up best "Dry air and high surface pressures dominate the scene and upper level winds are not all that favorable in most areas either". "I do not see any development taking place for at least the next five days- and probably longer".marcane_1973 wrote:Sorry i dont see anything in the Atlantic that has a remote possibility to even turn into a depression at this time.

I didn't say there was anything out there right NOW that looks like it has a possibility of becoming a depression. Just mearly posting some interesting output from the GFS. I thought it was weird that that it was trying to spin up a Warm Core low so far North off the east coast this early in the season.

Its getting a strong NW shear aloft at this current time and looks like it will have to deal with 20-30 kts wind shear now & while it tracks to the NE from the current location.
