I see some rotation down in the Southern Caribbean

But what I can't understand is what would lift this invest northward. watch the loop?

Now lets wait for GFDL and HWRF later today to see how they go in their tracks and intensity.

Right. BAM models are simple trajectory models. They won't do well in this type of situation at all. Need to look at the dynamic models like GFDL, HWRF and the global non-tropical models as well.

Remember, you're watching a loop of the projected steering currents derived from the GFS model, which builds a ridge over the SE U.S. and Gulf. The European has a completely different steering pattern.

Just looking at past storms in the region this time of year, the vast majority tracked north then northeast, across Cuba and the Bahamas or sometimes clipping south Florida. The other tracks just go west into Central America. No storm passing within 200nm of this location in Oct/Nov has ever impacted the U.S. Gulf Coast between Brownsville and Pensacola. Good news for us on the northern Gulf Coast, maybe. Not so good for Cuba and south Florida.

the CIMSS site primarily uses the NOGAPS model for its map, not GFS

now that is what i call a disturbing image...the heat content is akin to a shot of adrenaline ready to boost any system that finds itself in the nw caribbean (and isn't fighting strong shear when it does). It takes more than high tchp to get a hurricane...and maybe that is more of a factor in determining how much an already developed system will strengthen....but if there was one area i would have concern about a system moving over, it is the area between the yucatan, cuba, and jamaica.

I think that loop shows the last 5 days to current not what is projected?

Storms that develop in this region do have a tendency to meander for a bit, but ultimately they get picked up by the parade of troughs and fronts moving across the u.s. If a system develops, it is the angle of movement when it starts moving north and northeast that will determine who, if anyone, is in its path. The Florida peninsula south through Cuba/Jamaica/Hispanola would seem to be the possible range.

With talk of another trough in the eastern u.s. by the weekend, i can't see this system gaining much longitude once it makes up its mind (unless it comes onshore in central america first).

If there is in fact one bullet left this season (although folks have been saying that since claudette), i would much rather than shot be fired from the central atlantic by some hybrid storm....not from the birthplace of late season monsters like mitch and wilma. Will 94L become infamous....odds are against it of course...but if something interesting were to get going this season, this is where it could happen.

Something about the play on words of "Ida" and "Flor-Ida" that would make great newspaper headlines....lol

Personally, I don't think it looks healthy this morning. It does not have the curvature it had yesterday, and it has less convection. Amateur eyes, of course lol.
