This cloud warming is more likely a pulse instead of weakening.

The improving circulation is hard to miss on rainbow imagery. I'd be shocked if we don't have a TD, perhaps a TS, by Friday morning.

No, it is not way too early to make a forecast. We have to do it every day. If this were declared a depression tonight/tomorrow, we have to immediately make a track forecast. Now it IS to early to be very confident about a likely landfall point along the Gulf Coast.

Yeah, just a little nudge to the right, and we get it again. Let's wait until this thing actually gets to be a storm first though.

Is it just me or do people need to take a few minutes away from there computers, slow down there breathing and heart rates, and just calm down. I live 60 miles from N.O. LA and not worried at all about this "yet". For one it is still just an invest granted it does look very good tonight. Secondly it is a good 6 days from being around the gulf and as we know a lot can and will change by then. Third how often have the models been correct as to where a "potential storm" will be in 10 days. Lastly how many times this year has something almost everyone thought would be a player go POOF. Granted I know this could wind up a hurricane but as of now it is just pure speculation.

Looks like Dennis or Lili's track...


My early thinking is more like Emily of 2005. A bit south of the current GFDL, clipping the NE Yucatan, and toward northern MX or south TX. Low confidence this far out, though.

Since you brought it up, here's the track. One big difference, Charlie was turning north by the time it got to the isle of youth.
