Re: Global Model Runs Discussion
We could use some tropical moisture from the Gulf this month. We are about 6.5" below normal since June 1st and the "moderate drought" status is slowly approaching my area. Has been a very dull summer for this area weather wise. Not at all what I expected following a very wet and active winter and spring. I don't even think we've really been affected by any tropical waves this summer either which seems highly unusual.

Re: Global Model Runs Discussion
Was just going to mention that very thing the other day. That we have not even been affected by a tropical wave passing by us in the gulf. That seems very unusual even for, dare I say it, JULY
And doesn't look like we are going to see any anytime soon either thanks to the Sal outbreak.

Re: Global Model Runs Discussion
The last few runs of the GFS have shown an area SSW of the Azores around day 5 heading SW into the tropical atlantic so this may be a feature to keep an eye on. The 0zGFS does the same thing forming a trough of low pressure from an ULL SSW of the Azores and moves it SW into the tropical atlantic. I just thought I would mention it

with this pattern thats where development might come from.

Re: Global Model Runs Discussion
Hardly anything on the 06z GFS through August 18th, anything coming off Africa after the 18th would be 7+ days from the islands and 10+ days from the CONUS...Any potential landfall from a true CV system may be in September at this point...

I would not entirely rule out a weak subtropical development, though i agree about your CV thoughts.

the 00Z CMC shows some promising waves in the short range making there way across the ATL...I wouldnt just rely the GFS...

Re: Global Model Runs Discussion
We all know things can and do change on long range models. I wouldn't put too much credence on any single model or day.

Re:
Agreed. The ECMWF is also showing a lowering of pressures in that general vicinity as well around the same time frame.

CMC ensembles also have lower pressures in the eastern Atlantic in about 7 days.

Re: Global Model Runs Discussion
Can't post a picture but the 18z GFS does have the storm in the West Caribbean again, very similar path to Barry's but slightly stronger.

makes sense. i said in another post the one place to see development or landfall would be the BOC.

The Western Caribbean isn't the BOC.
