Models here.

Yay, another system to track. Looks like this could become Gaston.

Unlike 99L, 90L has unanimous consensus to become a long-lived and powerful hurricane across the open Atlantic. Should be fun.

This got tagged quick--I didn't even realize it was this close to exiting Africa yet.

Ahh, just what I wanted. A powerful storm that doesn't kill anyone, and is fun to track.

Middle/North Atlantic is automatic go for systems these days...

The tropics are heating up!! It will be interesting to track both systems. BTW this is my first post. Hello everyone!! Great reading here, glad I joined.

90L has been officially designated. It will not be very long wait to see this get upgraded. This system is really being forecasted by the reliable models to develop into a very well stacked tropical cyclone over the next few days. We will be seeing Gaston with this system in all likelihood .

Hey! Glad you joined. This one looks like the favored system out of the two right now, in terms of intensity.

[Blinhart]

I think they will wait until it is completely over water for 24 hours and make sure it doesn't fall apart, if it stays together it will either be a TD or TS.

Could this be the big ACE pump the season has been needing to catch up?

[SouthDadeFish]

I think there's a pretty solid chance this storm could beat 99L to the name Gaston. Very robust wave with a ton of model support.

Should be a nice ACE producer, yeah. Hopefully there are plenty more to follow next month.

Wave train is kind of dry thankfully.

Wow the season went from 0 to 60 in 3.5

[cycloneye]

Already by 96 hours 00z GFS blows this to a strong Tropical Storm.

[TheStormExpert]

Dang! That is moving fast!
