Not so fast as they first have to get a low pressure to track.

Excerpt from NWS N.O., LA. discussion this afternoon.


AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW ORLEANS LA
350 PM CDT SUN AUG 11 2013

.
.LONG TERM...
WEATHER PATTERN BECOMES QUITE ATYPICAL MIDDLE OF THE WEEK HEADING
INTO THE WEEKEND. TROUGH AMPLIFICATION OVER THE EASTERN UNITED
STATES CARVES A WEAKNESS DOWN THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY THAT
ULTIMATELY BRINGS A SURFACE COOL FRONT TO THE GULF COAST
WEDNESDAY. UPPER RIDGE PATTERN TO THE WEST OVER THE PLAINS STATES
AND DESERT SOUTHWEST WILL ESTABLISH A CHANNEL OF VORTICITY LOBES
DROPPING INTO THE BASE OF THE TROUGH DURING THE LATTER HALF OF THE
WEEK FOR AN UNSETTLED WEATHER REGIME. THIS OUT OF SEASON PATTERN
WILL BE QUITE CONDUCIVE FOR EFFICIENT RAINS AND A FLOOD POTENTIAL
WITH A SLOW MOVING FRONTAL ZONE IN THE PRESENCE OF TROPICAL
MOISTURE. THE GFS IS THE MODEL OF CHOICE THROUGH AT LEAST
THURSDAY BUT GETS INTERESTING FOR THE WEEKEND. IT IS THE ONLY
CONVENTIONAL MODEL CURRENTLY INDICATING A TROPICAL CYCLONE
POTENTIALLY DEVELOPING OVER THE YUCATAN THE MOVES INTO THE CENTRAL
GULF STATES NEXT SATURDAY. WHILE NOT TOTALLY BUYING OFF WHOLE-
HOG...TELECONNECTIONS WOULD SUGGEST A WEAKNESS IN THE FLOW WILL
CREATE A VULNERABILITY FOR THE AREA SHOULD A SURFACE LOW DEVELOP
OVER THE CENTRAL GULF OF MEXICO. THE TAFB UNIT...WHO PREPARES THE
WIND GRIDS FOR THE OUTER GULF WATERS...IS IN CONSENSUS OF AT LEAST
INDICATING A CYCLONIC CIRCULATION IN THE WIND FIELD TO SKIRT THE
OUTER COASTAL WATERS NEXT SATURDAY. WILL INDICATE LIKEWISE FOR NOW
BUT SUBSEQUENT MODEL RUNS WILL HAVE TO BE MONITORED CLOSELY.
INCIDENTLY...THAT WOULD BE THE ANNIVERSARY OF HURRICANE CAMILLE OF
1969...JUST SAYING.

For those members who may not know this,NHC is developing a graphic to highlight the five day systems.That is why you don't see a circle right now even if a future area was mentioned in 8 PM TWO.

This is the first Atlantic TWO I've seen since the implementation of the 5-day system, where the 2-day and 5-day outlooks differ. Will be interesting to see how it pans out.

NWS NOLA bringing up Camille? Not a smart idea. Those kind of comparisons set off the hype machine.

Well the NGOM gets punched alot this time of year from TX/LA to Panama/FL besides that alot and I say maybe 80-90% of JoeSmo's out there never read these.It is up to one's local News Network to leave that part out.
