I recieved our annual Hurricane Guide book today in the newspaper. Just another sign that it's almost that time again.

Every year on May 31,those nights are always crowded at the chat room to recieve the new season.I think that on this May 31rst it will be the same.

[Berwick Bay]

Well, I think this May 31st may be a little different. That's because I'm calling for tropical development at about that time (a Depression that is) near the western tip of Cuba. So if I'm right there will be real issues to discuss instead of some of the very forgettable banter that usually goes on the with start of the season. I'm basically going on a "sixth sense" if you will, which includes a lot of observation over the years, also, the current water vapor and shear maps, perhaps a little help from my friends, and a little luck in calling for this developing storm. Storm should be at the entrance of the Gulf of Mexico near tip of Cuba and SW of Key West. Lets see how this unfolds.

Darn it I forgot to add the disclaimer to my forecast of tropical development near the tip of Cuba in the May 28th-May 31st time frame. Sorry. Here it is.

I think you could possibly be onto something. The models have been hinting at development in the western caribbean many times recently, and I think that means that the environment may be trying to become more favorable over time. Also, with the moisture train coming across that area, it will be primed for something to spin up. I would say there is a far chance we see an early June system spin up in that area this year. Should be interesting to monitor as the next few weeks unfold..

I agree with the possible spin up and lesser shear and more moist
tropical conditions...It would not be unusual that a
depression forms in next 2-3 weeks over caribbean
like with alberto last year
now whether it brings me rain is another story
I'd like some tropical depression rains

Yeah, I'm rationalizing this "sense" of something developing here by thinking of a definite change in upper level conditions. The trough is weakening and moving out to sea. Right now there is a strong upper level flow from west to east over the area. But my "sense" is that this will lighten as the trough moves east. Think there will be enough moisture in the area to pop up some storms near the west tip of Cuba in about a week or so. We'll see how it works out.

Berwick,you're going out on a limb here...but you have spunk..and I,unlike Lou Grant in the old Mary Tyler Moore show,like spunk...lookimg forward to see how good your "sense" is

And I do believe that Mother Nature is going to balance out this drought down here in Florida this year. Yes, I do believe......
