Holy Crap! :eek:
That looks amazing! Way more impressive than 94L by a mile. I hope it can maintain that structure once it hits the water.

Awesome image Meso :uarrow:
Bertha looks gorgeous, and the new wave to emerge looks really strong I will be watching this one for the next week or so.

Very nice wave. I hope it survives after reaching the ocean in a day or two.

The wave and the latest model runs are certainly impressive. However, based on what happened with 94L, I am not going to get too excited about this until after it develops into a TD.

12z CMC continues to show it as a tropical storm.

Below is the 12z UKMET that continues to be in the parade of models with this.I notice that they have the track very far north than what sattelite suggests.

12Z EURO continues its Fish trend. This time it seems to be recurving much futher east.
http://www.ecmwf.int/products/forecasts ... 8071912!!/

12 GFS also wants a recurve this but much further west, right off NC.
http://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/pmb/nwprod ... n_312l.gif

The recurve scenarios are almost 200+ hrs out so way too early to know for sure. The image :uarrow: is impressive, it seems to have feeder bands to the south.

its actually looks like a MCV!!! when that hits the water ( if it hold together) we should see something ..

that would be crazy if it develops and 94l develops .. that would make 4 names systems in july, I dont think that has happened has it..
