The bermuda high is suppossed to be building in so the reason why I said Texas is because of the ESE flow that will set up thus steering the system in that direction.

We need to take collection and go down there and build a better radar site. :lol:
Also sky that floater has been there 2 or 3 days.

The steering environment is weak and, combined with the current shear from the southwest to northeast trough across the system, this will likely be a slow and somewhat erratic mover.

Shear is showing hints of decreasing slightly as the trough moves away... look at this loop and shear map below...

Current shear

Visible RGB loop

Although plenty of shear is still evident, as shear and the upper-level flow slowly weakens a bit, we may see some slight - though not much - development. Who agrees?

Yep, good thoughts on this. We've been expecting tropical moisture to come in from the south for next week - just was hoping it wouldn't be in the form of a possible cyclone.

For now, I'd have to say areas west of 90W are most at risk if this develops. I don't expect anything to really develop until it gets across the Yucatan and into the GOM.

I go away for 2 hours and I come back to THIS!!! Wow! I can't believe they are actually giving this a chance. Looks like (if it develops) it could be a threat to anywhere from TX to FL...it is too early to tell.

Be careful of using the BAMD and even the BAMM on this one, as it'll be a low-level event. And, of course, ignore LBAR and the climo model completely all the time). Take a look at the BAMS for a good first estimate. I haven't seen it come in on our servers yet, but I would suspect a track farther south and west than the BAMM toard Mexico, possibly around 22-23N at landfall.

I'd give it about a 20-30% chance of becoming a TS next Monday or Tuesday in the BoC.

Looking at the latest ECMWF, it has a much stronger ridge over Texas and the NW Gulf than does the GFS early next week, indicating a west or even south of west track. We shall see. I tend to believe the ECMWF's upper-level flow over the GFS, though.

My Current conditions map (I believe this is the same low pressure center we've been tracking slowly west over the past week)...I said a few days ago that I was fairly optimistic that this system could get going if conditions overhead improved just a little...the surface low has been VERY persistent, especially in light of extremely hostile conditions:

Looks to be drifiting slowly northward a bit on this loop, with a possible center just south-southwest or south-southeast of Cozumel.

I agree...the other Invest thread was locked per my request. Let this one be the real one and the Recon thread stay opened to see if they go there tomorrow. If they do, that Recon thread might actually become a sticky.

Hey Extremeweatherguy you see that happens when you fall asleep at the wheel you drool all over yourself.

I still think TX needs to watch this one closely though. A slight change in the upper air conditions can mean hundreds of miles of difference.

If I had to pick West, North, or East, I'll put my money on West.

Well, right now it is in a weak steering environment between a somewhat building ridge and trough creating the shearing southwesterly flow over it. As the trough moves away, we may see some movement take place; until then, this will likely drift a bit or move little.
