Joe B free column today.
I must say he very good with patterns but not specifics when we are 36 hours from a landfall. Monster ridge and NW Caribbean development into the GOM........deja vu?!
Excerpt from column:
.) MONSTER RIDGE WITH POTENTIAL NEAR-RECORD WARMTH DEVELOPS ALONG THE EAST COAST BY THE WEEKEND INTO NEXT WEEK. A surge of warmth that would do August proud engulfs much of the East over the weekend and early next week.
4.) Tropical troubles:
a.) Western Caribbean development later in the week with a move to the Gulf over the weekend and next week.
b.) Atlantic wave may threaten the East Coast under a big high in shortcut fashion next week. Pattern pulse favors plenty of large-scale convection in the Tropics.

If I think back to the meteorologists I respect the most, they all have at least one thing in common. They have (or had) a calming presence when delivering bad weather news. Even Neil Frank…who was so energetic when taking his message to the public in the 70’s, was deliberate and calming when explaining where Allen and Frederick and others were heading.
However…there was a private company meteorologist on FOX this weekend who looked downright maniacal. I am not kidding…it was frightening.
I really don’t believe you can be successful if you rile people up when delivering bad news. Just my opinion. So as far as any hype mongers are concerned...I am not going to gauge my level of concern on their level of concern.
So as for this invest…I’ll be watching for the recon plan to see just how concerned the NHC is with this system:
0 flights = not too
0 flights with a possible on Wednesday = low
1 flight tomorrow = moderate
2 flights and 12 hour fixes = very

Thanks Luis...there you have it...some concern from the NHC.
As for comparing the NHC models to the invest point mentioned...remember thhose models are run with the idea that there is already a preexisting tropical depression...which we dont have right now...vs. an open wave...which we do have now. This is going to create a different solution set.

FOR THE NORTH ATLANTIC...CARIBBEAN SEA AND THE GULF OF MEXICO...
A STRONG TROPICAL WAVE IS PRODUCING A LARGE AREA OF CLOUDINESS...
SHOWERS...AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE CENTRAL CARIBBEAN SEA AS IT
MOVES TOWARD THE WEST-NORTHWEST AT 15 TO 20 MPH. SURFACE
OBSERVATIONS NOW INDICATE SOME PRESSURE FALLS ASSOCIATED WITH THE
WAVE...BUT THE WEATHER AREA IS CURRENTLY BROAD AND DISORGANIZED.
UPPER-LEVEL WINDS ARE ONLY MARGINALLY CONDUCIVE FOR TROPICAL
CYCLONE FORMATION...BUT COULD BECOME MORE FAVORABLE FOR DEVELOPMENT
OVER THE NEXT TWO TO THREE DAYS AS THE SYSTEM MOVES INTO THE
NORTHWESTERN CARIBBEAN SEA.
ELSEWHERE...TROPICAL STORM FORMATION IS NOT EXPECTED THROUGH

Ok...
Shear is not currently favorable in the NW Caribbean...but should gradually become more favorable over the next few days. I don't think this is getting past Florida...

Floydbuster---Do you mean that Florida is in its way therefore it will go there? just a little confusing to me....

If that happens and/or the system passes near or over Florida, there will likely be shear to prevent it from rapidly strengthening. Although the shear in the northwest Caribbean is expected to gradually decrease, unfavorable shear is expected to persist over Florida and in the Bahamas.
