But that's the reason I LOVE this community!!! Everyone on here is just as excited as I am.

Before I found this board, I thought I was a freak for hoping that a storm forms!

I know its the NAM but the 00z 5/26 indicates "disturbed weather" over the SW carribean with a weak area of low pressure. This is the first run that has a significant increase in the moisture etc across the region...

Hell yeah! If this thread reaches 100 pages before anything forms, it means we are all doing what we love! :flag:

The funny thing about this thread also is if the CMC was developing a system this thread would be maybe 2 pages at most.I do give the GFS credit since its the most reliable model so break out the popcorn and lets watch this possibly materalize.

Just a threat of a storm can raise fuel prices, so lets keep this on the down low.

4 maps to keep an eye on as the week goes on.

Or it may form from the tail end of that frontal trough that is now in the Western Caribbean.

I think it might help get rid of the dry air and maybe pull some moisture in from the Pacific, but I don't think it will be the main source of moisture for this system.

Oh, and the Chat room isn't working! I'm using Firefox 3 RC1 and there is no room and all the links are 404'ed!
