ECMWF operational has basically showed nothing. Are there lower pressures forecasted across the Western Caribbean by the models? Sure but that is what you would expect as we roll into late September and into October.
At this point, I see no reason to believe we are going to see something in the Western Caribbean anytime soon. Maybe by mid October? Sure, but until I see the GFS stop pushing out the development timeline I am not convinced.
its showing it at 240hr and sooner than that....the ensembles of the EURO and CMC are showing it...NOGAPS is seeing it....give me a break...

ignore the guidance....but lets be honest you have been harping on Carib development way back when Igor was a cloud. Now your totally against it. Can't have it both ways,,,
