-He believes that at least a tropical storm will form. He said he could be wrong, but he thinks this one really has a shot.
-He thinks the system will develop faster than what models such as the NAM are suggesting and that it will take a WNW track.
-He thinks the cone of error for where this system might go would range from the Texas Gulf coast on the north side to Tampiaco on the south side.
Sounds like a weak storm being shoved west by the ridge, a lot like Bret of 05 except slightly more north.
May be..and that is what we all hope for..However, he said if this really gets going that he wouldn't be surprised to see a hurricane come of this. He is not ready to make any calls on that for sure though right now.
At this point we should all just monitor the area closely and not begin to really worry until something spins up. For all we know, JB
could end up wrong on this one. We shall see...
