The wave near 50w this evening is expected to continue west for the next 5-7 days. The Nogaps and ECMWF track this feature through the carribean arriving in the western carribean in about 6-7 days. ECMWF even closes off a low while moving through the eastern carribean. More importantly, this feature should remain active and arrive on scene to a favorable environment where climatology rules..This could become "The October Storm" we've anticipated...

Re: Wave near 50W to become SIGNIFICANT player in 5-7 days??
Looks decent , but the last month (minus Humberto) has ingrained in me a deep cynicism against anything developing. Worth watching...may survive if it stays far enough south, but the caribbean looks downright hostile in several days. http://moe.met.fsu.edu/cgi-bin/gfstc2.c ... hour=168hr

Re: Wave near 50W to become SIGNIFICANT player in 5-7 days??
well Vortex its possible but honestly I don't think we are going to see any Big October storms this year but I will keep a watch on it just in case.

Honestly, with all this shear going around, I'm eager for the winter storms, because they are largely unaffected, even fortified by shear. It will be nice to watch something that, for a change, wont get hacked to death by upper level winds.
Now that I have this out of my system, maybe we will have one decent October storm. At the start of the month I believed it. Now, I seriously doubt.

No vorticity yet.
I would say no, since all deep waves in this area have fizzled after Felix. Huge negativity has descended on the Atlantic as 94L shows. 94L has no reason not to form yet it isn't.

Well at least the NWS out New Orleans, LA thinks so this afternoon.
LONG TERM...
ESSENTIALLY A DRY FORECAST WITH LARGE DIURNAL RANGES DUE TO DRY
AIR. LOWS WILL BE MORE SEASONABLE BUT DAYTIME HIGHS WILL STILL BE
ABLE TO MUSTER THE MID 80S. THE MODELS ARE HINTING AT SOME
VORTICITY FEATURE MOVING NORTHWARD OUT OF THE WESTERN CARIBBEAN
SEA EARLY NEXT WEEK HEADING OUR WAY. DO NOT HAVE A LARGE DEGREE OF
CONFIDENCE IN THIS SOLUTION...BUT WILL INDICATE A 20 PERCENT
CHANCE OF SHOWERS JUST GIVEN THE PROSPECTS OF GULF RETURN FLOW
BECOMING ESTABLISHED MONDAY INTO NEXT TUESDAY.

Latest from Meteo-France 6 PM
http://www.meteo.fr/temps/domtom/antill ... Tagant.jpg
Very interresting wave, with copious amount of convection this afternoon...
and i've just check the latest forecasts and... just for the info in the southern Windwards Islands Martiniqua has already put a yellow alert at 6 PM tonight for a risk of strong showers and thunderstorms for this moderate twave for the moment... given the latest forecasts of Meteo-France...and beginning to approach our area during the next few hours and tommorow...so a squally weather is expected during the24h/48h with gusty winds with electric activity...we will see what happens as usual cheesy: folks!
Looking at the shear analysis...shear has lessen a bit to 20kts in vicinity of the wave and much more lower near the Windwards Leewards at 10 kts so a little more favorable winds...compared to the previous days... maybe a little window to see something bringing some water on the islands hope nothing more...
Wind shear latest 5pm
