Here is the UKmet at 144 hours,also showing a low in the Caribbean (Not the same as the other Caribbean thread low)

And the NOGAPS showing the same

Not sure if this deserves another thread,but since it's a long shot I thought I'd just throw it in with the GFS (not sure if it's worthy of another thread)

Really a good sign that we are getting closer and closer to the time when that area of the world needs to be watched.

18z GFS 5/19/07 Long Range Loop

:uarrow: :uarrow: :uarrow: :uarrow: :uarrow: :uarrow: :uarrow: :uarrow:

If this pans out,then Florida will be aliviate in a good way in terms of the drought situation.But being this a long range forecast I look at it with skeptical eyes.As time advances towards the end of May,we will see if other models do the same as GFS is doing,or down the road,GFS drops this solution.

Well... I think GFS is showing development is, because it is depicting and Upper Level High at around the same time it develops and area in the Caribbean and Brings it into Florida. As I have read post(s) from Wxman57 about long range forecasts not being very good on verifying. I guess the only thing we can do is wait, watch and see if any other models show development around the same time in the same area.

Probably not really significant but the GFS has a low fluctuating north of the Caribbean throughout the run...Again,probably nothing...
Some really low pressure's over Africa
