At first, it looks like its getting closer, then the day comes and pushes back about 90% of what has been achieved throughout the night.(exaggeration)


It took a while to get that. First, I downloaded the gif from tropicaltidbits.com (NAM 3 KM)
I then realized it was 5 megabytes too bigfor tinypic.com, and not wanting to have to make an account, I went to ezgif to compress it. It brought me 1 megabyte over the limit, which is 5 megabytes.) So I cropped it. Problem solved!It actually took like 20 minutes to do.
The NAM isn't the best but it's pretty good with temperatures, right?


Other issue with the NAM is that it only goes out to 84 hours I believe.

After dropping development yesterday, GFS, FV3 and Euro are all back to showing a weak low developing in Gulf (frontal?) and moving in the general direction of the Florida Panhandle or Big Bend.

I believe that's because it's meant for average, accurate forecasts, right? It has 1 hour intervals!

Yep season is likely over for the continental U.S. now. Can’t still be so sure about parts of the Western Caribbean just yet.

We're going to shift from Rainy Season(Very Hot and Wet) to Dry Season(Hot and Dry.)

Or we're going to switch from Hotter Season to Hot Season. There is no winter here... Just varying degrees of summer.

True, and it’s hard to get below 60 in the winter as low temperatures at night

Several models trying to develop a system off an approaching front next week. All at 192 hours:

GFS has a closed hot mess heading to West Central Florida
FV3 has something spinning off the coast of the Carolinas
ECMWF has what would likely be a subtropical or extratropical low battering the NE coastline but staying offshore
CMC takes a weak closed low across the Panhandle at 174, and by 192 is inline with the FV3

Based on the current modeling and local forecasts, if the GFS verifies, that hot mess will be a major cold front dropping GOM temps below 82F after the thunderstorms pass through, which is the start of the end for the GOM season. I hope they are correct because lows of 53F will diminish water temps significantly.

The latest 00Z GFS is showing a series of.Low Pressure areas developing with the subtropical jet during next week. For me, of particular very special interest, 00ZGFS is showing a stronger baroclinic Low around 1006 mb forming along a frontal boundary off the Texas coast. It then moves east, along in which it strengthens to 1000mb along the Gulf Coast and then across North Florida in 198 hours.

This has the potential to really be a heavy rain and severe weather story next weekend here in the area. This may not bode well for the big cocktail party here for the Florida/Georgia festivities next weekend. I will be monitoring this closely in the days to come .

Doesn't look like much in the latest model run - just a low and modest rainfall: https://www.tropicaltidbits.com/analysi ... 506&fh=360

Apparently, all the models are coming to an agreement. Albeit different times and strengths. There will be a nor’easter this weekend in the east. Looks like a Hatteras howler to a Manhattan mauler on the GFS and FV3. Euro is weaker but still a nor’easter. What is interesting is that most of the models have the remnants of Willa entrained into it as it traverses the Gulf. It is already mentioned in our local forecast, just waiting for a consensus on strength and overall effects. Certainly not tropical but could have some rather adverse effects here on the east coast as well as snow in the Appalachians from West Virginia and north. .

It is pretty wild how the core energy from this deepening low will be the remnant from Willa! Wouldn't surprise me one bit to see it bomb out even deeper then models are projecting once over the Gulf Stream somewhere east/northeast of JAX.

Beyond that however, the models don't seem to hint of anything remotely tropical trying to spin up. The Westerlies have certainly driven far to the south over the recent two weeks. I'd be leary to believe that we're going to see general troughing over the E. Conus straight through the remaining weeks of Hurricane Season. I just have that sense that upper ridging will make one last gasp to establish over the far Southwestern Caribbean; Enough that we may well see one more attempt at tropical development sometime in November down there before all is said and done.

I cannot believe anyone has not mentioned the FV3 18z run this evening showing a Tropical Cyclone developing at 240hr then Hurricane developing in the Western Carib. Sea. I know that's out there a bit in time but.......

A couple days ago it showed a 958 heading to Jamaica for one run only then it disappeared. Looked like the energy was crossing over into the Pacific or getting hung up over land in the other runs. Now a decent storm is back for one run, getting pulled north out of the Caribbean. A ghost, or a sign of possible better conditions in this area in mid-November?
