That low the NHC was talking about developing near Epsilon's remnants is shown by a few models to turn warm-core in about 3 days, and stay that way another 4 or so.

GFS: http://moe.met.fsu.edu/cyclonephase/gfs/fcst/archive/05120906/56.html
UKMET: http://moe.met.fsu.edu/cyclonephase/ukm/fcst/archive/05120900/53.html
CMC: http://moe.met.fsu.edu/cyclonephase/cmcglb/fcst/archive/05120900/65.html

Certainly not a consensus, as other models develop two lows, but certainly something to watch over the next couple of days. If Zeta were to from, it would be the first (hopefully only) Z-named storm in the Atlantic. Thoughts on this potential Zeta?

The models have been fairly persistent with that area, so I'm figuring that we will see Zeta in the next few days.

Not if it forms before December 31st.

It'd be Zeta.

I don't know whether or not Zeta will form, but I would be glad if someone could get Mother Nature to get off the warpath. Maybe Father Time can calm her down :)

Or even Father Christmas! :lol:
Seriously though, I've just about had my fill of storms for the year. It really saddens me to reflect on all the death and destruction that has occurred this season. :cry:

Enough is enough. Go away '05.
