I expect tomorrow another blob of convection, but the system continues to be attached to the ITCZ. It needs to seperate from the ITCZ for anything to happen.

(This is my opinion only)

If it breaks the ITCZ, it should become Aletta. If not, it doesn't have a chance at doing anything.

Chance of becoming TD1-E: 25%. Chance of becoming Aletta: 20%.

It's been a long time since this image has been posted. Looks like no tropical development expected is the next few days or so.

Computer models:

CMC - doesn't develop it

GFDL - not available

GFS - develops it into a tropical storm and takes it towards southern Mexico

NOGAPS - doesn't develop it

UKM - develops a weak blob (depression?) but doesn't go beyond that

So it looks as if the models are split on if this one is going to develop.

I sure hope it doesn't develop. In fact, I want it to go away entirely.

I'm headed to Nicaragua for a week starting tomorrow.

An area of disturbed weather that a weather forecast agency thinks has a chance of tropical development. They usually update the positions/intensities at least twice a day. The US Navy opens most of them I think, save the Atlantic and EastPac where they defer to TPC most of the time.



I was going to ask that same question. Thank you so much for answering it!

I wish it would develop but the chances look very small.
