NWS Jax mentions it in this afternoons Discussion:
BY WEDNESDAY A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE INTO THE TN VALLEY WITH
ASSOCIATED SHORT WAVE DIVING INTO NORTHERN AL/GA. ALSO A LOW IS
EXPECTED TO FORM NEAR THE BAHAMAS ON THE TAIL END OF THIS
WEEKEND'S COLD FRONT. THESE FEATURES WILL PUSH THE SFC HIGH INTO
THE NORTH ATLANTIC AND SHIFTING THE FLOW TO ELY. EXPECT INCREASING
CLOUDS AND MAX TEMPS IN THE 80S INLAND NEAR THE I-75 CORRIDOR.

.LONG TERM...WILL LEAN TO THE GFS SCENARIO WHICH BRINGS THE SUB-
TROPICAL LOW WWD INTO SOUTH FL. ALSO THE SHORT WAVES PASS BY NORTH
OF THE AREA. THIS KEEPS A NARROW RIDGE OVER THE FORECAST AREA AND
WE WILL REMAIN WARM AND DRY.



What AMAZING!!! Holy Smokes!
It's forecasted to get windy here- gusts to 30 mph tomorrow and
Tuesday according to NWS

Right now there is no need to overreact with this, but just be open to the idea that something may try to get going in the Bahamas early this week.

Someone needs to throw the -removed- flag on this thread! If the upper trough were forecast by any model to cut off... it would be interesting. However all models forecast this trough at 200 mb to remain solid so the tropical chances seems like zilch. Even subtropical... usually you want the upper trough diminishing with time and ridging forming around the center... I don't see any evidence. I just hope it gives us some rain! :P

GFS hints at ridging possibly forming around it...

NOGAPS follows a slightly similar scenario...

Ridging as in upper ridging.. to diminish the shear. Low-level ridging isn't going to help this sucker.

ok...so this is it? lol.


This is the big system we're all talking about? Geez what a shame :roll:



Edit: Weatherwoman it's still connected to the front so it can't develop until it can work it's way to the surface. So no it's not getting any better.

A low is forecasted to develop from this cold front, and then we will be talking about development. Right now there's nothing to say but just wait and see how things converge!

Yeah well hopefully by the end of the year you'll be quite informed :D




The area of convection we're seeing now is nothing, it's merely a blob of convection. We see those all the time and those don't warrant topics about it. I notice they still get the topics though :roll:

Just wait it out and when someone does happen...if it does. And Alberto really does come. I'll be utterly and completely surprised :)

cold front feature- development is very unlikely...though not impossible.
but chances are very low for any sub-tropical or tropical development
