Re: NW Carib Flare-Up
Shear doesn't look like it'll be an issue for now...

Re: NW Carib Flare-Up
Saved vis loop, nice inflow into the storms from the Caribbean. Slight circulation is all in the mid levels.

Re: NW Carib Flare-Up
Looks like whatever the Euro is trying to develop is energy dragged North with this wave but left in the BoC, combined with some of Carlotta’s energy.

With shear decreasing in its path I’m surprised no model really develops this. 10% seems kind of low, I’d go with 20% for now on development chances. Looks Invest worthy if you ask me.

Re: NW Carib Flare-Up
Euro ensembles say 8% chance of development next 3-5 days. GFS ensembles at 0%. It is more "blobby" today (that's a technical meteorological term). Something to keep an eye on, but not much model support.

Think so, too. Looks impressive, but apparently all the numbers fed into the models used by the Mets say very little to no chance. NHC says 90% chance of no cyclone formation. That’s pretty strong. I guess if you were at the racetrack and you bet in favor of formation you would get 9-1 odds on your bet.

Re: NW Carib Flare-Up
Nice mid level circuation, it will be interesting if a surface circulation forms near this later today.

Re: NW Carib Flare-Up
Yeah not much Euro Ensemble support for this as Wxman57 said. Here are the 00z Euro Ensembles through 72hrs. (excluding the longer range stuff)

Don't blame you at all for that bet! You really like the look of that horse, and you don't get 9-1 everyday. Good luck!

Re: NW Carib Flare-Up
Greetings from Tulum, Mexico. Day 4 of rolling thunder, pouring rain. 6 power outages in the last 2 hours. And they ask me why I drink.

ICON is more organized this run, sending a broad 1007mb TD into Matagorda Bay.

Re: NW Carib Flare-Up
The high cirrus clouds are streaming a little more slowly in the familiar concentric pattern that often indicates higher pressure might be developing mid gulf. Most of the trough circulation is likely still WNW of the shear induced convection.
