Re: Disturbed weather in western caribbean
Does anybody have the 12Z ECMWF ensembles? Looking at the TropicalTidbits plots, it appears many still heading into Southern Florida or near SE Florida and are west of the ECMWF OP:

It is not even a microcane anymore. Makes the model completely useless to figure out what will happen here with Carribean system.
Wilma was supposed to be battling shear from the approaching front also, instead the front help aid her outflow. I know model forecasts are better now then in 2005 but you never know.
The strong upper-level winds weren't over south Florida for Wilma, they were well to the northwest of Wilma.

Yep. Dewpoints are plunging in the panhandle with a gusty northwest wind. Thundering here with prefrontal convection and another front is already on the docket for Sunday. I think Nate was Florida's October hurricane...it just got lost on the way. Let's hope so anyway..

Re: Disturbed weather in western caribbean
If this just doodles around in the Caribbean and avoids the trough a hurricane is very likely, otherwise this gets torn apart by shear.

Looks like something is trying to spin up just off Nicaragua

See below. Check the difference in 24hrs. Sizable shift toward the west.

Re: Disturbed weather in western caribbean
Looking at TT EPS ensembles for the 500mb anomaly for 120hrs the past few runs it looks like the trough is a little more delayed with each run and further SW. The timing and placement as always will be key. A slower and more SW orientation of the trough would tend to bring it further N and may keep it outside the bad shear longer.

Re: Disturbed weather in western caribbean
The models will continue to try to spin up something, but shear is the big factor...

Re: Disturbed weather in western caribbean
So are we still going to buy that random storm the GFS keeps insisting will occur in the E-PAC in 96hrs.?

Re: Disturbed weather in western caribbean
Usually when the the mjo is over a basin the upper-level shear levels decrease.

Main reason I am still keeping an eye on this. I dont trust the intensity modeling from GFS and Euro as they keep spinning up microcanes in the EPAC which I think is causing phantom interference with the Carribean system. The models that dont have it tend to have a stronger system. So lets see how it plays out.

Does anyone else hear the fat lady singing?
As always, this is only my opinion. Please see the NHC or NWS for accurate forecasts.

Re: Disturbed weather in western caribbean
I think the miami nws has the fat lady singing:
By Saturday, and area of tropical moisture, as well as a weak low,
will move up from the south. This will help to increase chances of
convection once again for Saturday and possibly Saturday night.
Both the GFS and the European model (ecmwf) have a weak low moving northeast over
central Cuba, and then progressing over the Bahamas by Sunday
night. This is ahead of the next cold front, which models area
showing to push through by next Monday morning.

18Z GFS ensembles shift west. Maybe not time to bring out the fat lady just yet:

NHC doesn't think the fat lady is singing yet. Up to 10/50!

For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
An elongated area of low pressure has formed near the northeastern
coast of Nicaragua. This broad disturbance is producing widespread
cloudiness and scattered thunderstorms over much of the northwestern
and southwestern Caribbean Sea, and the adjacent coastal areas of
northeastern Nicaragua and eastern Honduras. Further development,
if any, should be slow to occur for the next couple of days due to
interaction with the high terrain of Central America. Thereafter,
environmental conditions are expected to be conducive for some
development to occur over the northwestern Caribbean Sea while the
system moves slowly northward.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...medium...50 percent.

Skirts the Keys also with near landfall. Seems there has been a west trend with some of the models and ensembles today.
