It definitly looks like a Caribbean/Gulf threat. After a big break, things are fixing to get rolling. And storm2k is going to be hopping with posts.

I think the difference between this potential storm (named Dean) and lower latitude tracking storms (i.e. Ivan) that entered the southern reaches of the Carribean, is that it will enter the nothern part of the Carribean Sea and be more of a threat to Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic instead of tracking to the Yucatan or Gulf of Mexico.

I think everyone is underestimating the current strength of the easterly shear and the current forward momentum of this system. The circulation center is a good 100 miles east of the deepest convection right now. I would have to say that we are a good 24-36 hours from Tropical Depression status. I dont like to bash the NHC, but they seem a little bullish about the system currently. JMO

I would expect some development and
as it nears the caribbean it is likely
to intensify as heat content increases substantially
towards the caribbean and in the caribbean.

the ships intensity seems to be on the low side right now. The gfdl gfs etc intensifies this storm to nearly a major before it impacts the islands. I live in Antigua and have some family/friends arriving on Saturday (yikes) so any further comments on intensity will greatly be appreciated

Thank You

Great to see you after a long time my friend. :) Be safe and start preparations there just in case and lets hope that this goes fishing.

That form is starting to look scary.

90L has beaten back the dry SAL layer just off Africa and moistened it.

Just because something enters the Carribean does not automatically make it a U.S. gulf coast threat! A lot of people seem to think this way. At least, I used to...but not anymore. Remember, Mexico and the countries making up Central America and South America touch a larger part of the Carribean Sea than U.S. land.

The wave emerging off Africa should protect 90L from any SAL intrusions

Regarding intensity...Anything from category 1-3 is possible...
Oceanic heat content is high:

And shear is forecasted to remain favorable for development
by the TWO.
