Weak still. 00z euro ensembles more tame too, not those cat4s earlier runs had. Icon 6z came in weaker too. Could see a cat1 i think.if it's gfs path into tampa or sarasota like these ensembles members could be some nice rains. Swfl members would still be a problem with recovery efforts.
Way too early to know for sure the strength of it once it comes out of NW Caribbean but one thing for sure is that now the Euro ensembles are not as spread out over the GOM as earlier runs, more agreement on a development and possible heading.

CAPE around 2000 to 3000 currently in the east GoM.
Around Tuesday, it looks like it will be about 4000 to 5000.
However, a ULL is forecast by GFS to be in the east GoM then.
Likely, this is why GFS currently doesn't do much with it.
Euro on the other hand has the ULL much further west in the GoM.
Looks far enough away to enhance outflow.
Something to watch how the models trend.

Okay, I will admit that this was actually funny.

Just like Jon Snow..."I know nothing" except what I know, and most of what I know is gathered by the fine people of the NHC

The ULL is strengthening and moving from the Yucatan into the BoC

A chance that the GFS may verify?

Re: Possible Development in the Northwestern Caribbean
There is no disturbance in the Caribbean now. The feature the Euro develops has just moved north out of the East Pacific into western Nicaragua. There can't be any circulation developing in the Caribbean, as that guy tweeted a few posts up. Look at the 850mb vorticity in the EC and you'll see it tracking north across western Nicaragua today, across Honduras tonight, and lying east of Belize Friday morning. It's near Cancun/Cozumel by sunrise Saturday, where it stalls for a day or two while it organizes.

Good shear gradient over Honduras.
Should see some strong thunderstorms popup this afternoon and likely push out into the water.

Two things about this. #1, is still in the EPAC side, and #2, it only has 10% in 2 days. Normally, is between 20% and 40% the window to have a invest up.

If this gets named I hope it gets Jose instead of Idalia. I've gotten very sick of Gulf storms with I names these past few years.

Do not take anything I say seriously as a form of meteorological prediction. I am not a meteorologist; I don't think being in law school translates to any special knowledge. I am just a somewhat bullish amateur watcher.

Technically it would be Jose, but no we just had to have an unnamed storm in early January

Unless explicitly stated, all info in my posts is based on my own opinions and observations. Tropical storms and hurricanes can be extremely dangerous. Do not think you can beat Mother Nature. Refer to an accredited weather research agency or meteorologist if you need to make serious decisions regarding an approaching storm.
