All I have to say is:

:eek:


It's not reallly getting better organized. The convection that is firing up closer to the vigourous MLC NE of Puerto Rico. The LLC farther to the west of all that convection. I do agree thought that it needs to be watched as it gets further west. It's not dead and some have proclaimed to be.

Whoever is on the western periphery of the subtropical ridge should be concerned...if it does develop, it wouldn't be for atleast a few more days..and should be forced into the GOM.

It just doesn't want to give up. Maybe its kept itself weak in order to bypass the weakness and wreak havoc in the GOM? Pensacola hasn't been hit in what..a month?

i cant get nervous everytime a storm comes close to florida. you can just wait and see. And even if it starts to move away you have to keep watching after what happened last year with Jeanne. The local mets told us that we had nothing to worry about then we woke up in the morning hearing "hope you didnt take your shutters down"

This is the 12z ECMWF.

It appears to agree with me regarding the GOM...note the low pressure over extreme South Florida.

Image

Now..you'll notice the ridge developing westward..eventually centered over OK/TX/AR/LA. I'm also assuming that is 10L in the central GOM. Not positive, but it does look like the ECMWF carries an area of low pressure westward between days 4 and 7.

Image

So just to say..we may be focusing on the GOM soon.

And if my interpretation is incorrect, I'd appreciate corrections.

Lets face it, first of all this thing will likely stay weak and pathetic and pass to the south of Florida. Second it shouldn't form into anything significant even in the GOM. Lets turn our attention to the mammoth wave that emerged off Africa.

it may be mid-level circulation still but when it drops to the surface (and it will) things will get interesting really quick.
