This one being a low tracker could spell problems for alot of people if it really gets going. It will be hard to get a trough to recurve this one. Whatcha think?

GFS is predicting a low-tracking system if I remember correctly.

you don't need a tough to have a storm to recurve. Helps but don't have to have one.It has a lot to do with steering patterns and where the highs are and the lows are.

TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
800 AM EDT MON AUG 11 2008

FOR THE NORTH ATLANTIC...CARIBBEAN SEA AND THE GULF OF MEXICO...

A BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE ASSOCIATED WITH A TROPICAL WAVE IS
LOCATED OVER THE CENTRAL ATLANTIC OCEAN ABOUT 850 MILES EAST OF
THE WINDWARD ISLANDS. ALTHOUGH ASSOCIATED SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM
ACTIVITY IS CURRENTLY LIMITED...ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS APPEAR
FAVORABLE FOR GRADUAL DEVELOPMENT...AND THIS SYSTEM HAS THE
POTENTIAL TO BECOME A TROPICAL DEPRESSION DURING THE NEXT COUPLE OF
DAYS AS IT MOVES WESTWARD AT 15 TO 20 MPH.

:rarrow: A LARGE AREA OF DISORGANIZED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IS LOCATED
OVER THE EASTERN ATLANTIC A COUPLE HUNDRED MILES SOUTHWEST OF THE
CAPE VERDE ISLANDS. SLOW DEVELOPMENT OF THIS SYSTEM IS POSSIBLE
DURING THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS AS IT MOVES WESTWARD AT ABOUT 15
MPH.

ELSEWHERE.. TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION IS NOT EXPECTED DURING THE
NEXT 48 HOURS.

models are backing off of development

would not be a surprise to me if NONE of the systems develops

(before anyone says this means the season is dead... it does not. It only means nothing may develop within the next week)
