Obviously a more shift to the west brings heavier rains to the rest of SE FL.

Right NDG. This is what I was seeing as well in prior runs. The moisture shield in its developmental stages still have it over much of Southeast Florida. This is why I stated earlier that any more shifts west in the formative stages of the cyclone could have significant effects for much of Southeast Florida this weekend. This is why I stated earlier there are still variables on the table and we have to watch this very closely with future model runs.

NEVER, EVER SAY NEVER in the tropics and weather in general, and most importantly, with life itself!!

IMHO, how this all develops is more on a meso-scale level. Global models don't have the resolution to handle that.
Lift from the negative-tilt short wave coupled with the dryline will fire off deep convection.
That is a given.
It is how this convection creates a surface low is what needs to happen.
Strong, long duration towers with high helicity will do that.
Just need to see what happens.

It’s not surprising to see the 06z Euro trend closer to SE Florida like the 06z GFS showed. Anyone have the 06z Euro Ensembles?

Ah yes, the classic May hurricane off the New Jersey shore. Shaping up to be an interesting season already:

Lot of assumptions about a storm that hasn't formed yet.

quite a bit stronger ridging north of it through 84 hours on the 12z GFS. stalls and drfits ese near the northern bahamas.

12z GFS is East of the 06z run and takes it straight through the Northern Bahama Islands. Still some rain for SE Florida but not as much as what was shown on the 06z run.

12z run from euro 2 days ago https://www.tropicaltidbits.com/analysi ... 112&fh=240 .. that short wave that is there now on the gfs and euro which swings se..

just swings east quickly across great lakes....

so many possible options still.. first thing first we need at least a broad low pressure down there before anything the models point can be relied upon.

12z Euro has 3 separate lobes of vorticity. at 48 hours..

either any of them could consolidate or have multiple competing vorts.

all in all euro farther west thus far.

Time to wake up from winter hibernation in the Atlantic! 8-)

I’m really wondering about the strength of that Bermuda high. Here in Tallahassee we are supposed to have a long stretch of clear days with highs in the low to mid 90s for the next week or so. This is indicative of high pressure. If the Bermuda high holds, a tropical system (albeit likely weak) could get pushed toward the southeast US/Bahamas.

With that said, this time of year I would expect a cyclone to be picked up to the northeast.

that SE diving Clipper system eats our future sub tropical storm again on the 12z euro..

Welcome back everyone
a little early to say the least. So my boating plans in Key Largo are off the table this weekend?

A rather stark contrast between today's 12z GFS and Euro runs; the former features a more compact and concentrated low while the latter is far more broad and is thus weaker. I would imagine that the GFS solution would likely have a better shot at becoming a full-fledged tropical system if it were to come to fruition.

I like that helicity twist in the wind barbs, in some moderate CAPE, just off Havana, 60 hrs out.

Atmosphere becoming more unstable south of the dryline.
Stronger afternoon popups over Cuba today, mainly on the eastern half of the island.
