Unless explicitly stated, all info in my posts is based on my own opinions and observations. Tropical storms and hurricanes can be extremely dangerous. Do not think you can beat Mother Nature. Refer to an accredited weather research agency or meteorologist if you need to make serious decisions regarding an approaching storm.

Has some work to do but should have a decent chance to become Don in the next few days.

Tropical Weather Outlook NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 200 PM EDT Tue Jul 11 2023
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
1. Central Atlantic: An area of low pressure is producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms several hundred miles east-northeast of Bermuda. Environmental conditions are forecast to be marginally conducive for some development of this system, and a subtropical or tropical depression could form during the next few days while the system moves generally eastward. By the weekend, the low should turn northward bringing the system over cooler waters, likely limiting additional development. * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...30 percent. * Formation chance through 7 days...medium...50 percent.

Here's the area at dawn 1100 UTC this morning, looks like a chaotic system with several eddies in the circulation. There looks to be one that is tucked under the clouds with convection happing.

It's a mess right now, definitely a lot of work to do to become a TC. If models are correct though it should have a better chance once it turns north. Probably still a good chance this eventually becomes a TS, but it will take a bit.
If the GFS is correct, this may be around for a bit as it loops back around.

Looks like it starting to organize. Has a subtropical look to it. Several low level spins, but the MLC is quickly improving.

The posts in this forum are NOT official forecast and should not be used as such. They are just the opinion of the poster and may or may not be backed by sound meteorological data. They are NOT endorsed by any professional institution or storm2k.org. For official information, please refer to the NHC and NWS products.
Regardless if it becomes fully tropical, it the models suggest it will be spinning around for at least a week making a clockwise loop. Not likely it will strengthen significantly, but with that much time perhaps it will find a day or two of favorable conditions, surprise us and briefly become the first hurricane of the season(though unlikely)
NHC may be starting advisories shortly. Convection developing over center. Could have TS or STS Don by 21Z. Let's see what their 18Z outlook says. It would stay weak and make a slow clockwise loop in the middle of nowhere over the coming week.
