That is really fast, and I'm sure would catch a lot of people by suprise. I would like to think that it is off on the timing...

Wednesday evening seems a bit too quick doesn't it Vortex...I was thinking more like Friday or Saturday.

17.5N/83W looks suspect. If the low forms more east of the suspect location what effect, if any, will it have on the future track of this low?

It looks more likely that Nicole moves over the Keys than over SW and/or South Florida wednesday night/thursday morning...Im sure confidence is slowing increasing with the local NWS offices and stronger wording will likely come out with the afternoon package as this is within the next 72-96 timeframe...

It seems to be inevitable that something is heading towards FL. Now my concern is how strong and where. Will it head towards the east, west, or right through the middle? Will it be a messy rain event, or a moderate TS/Hurricane? Too many questions and uncertainties!

The next few days will definitely be interesting.

As has been said many times with this developing system...The devil will be in the details.

The latest discussion from Crown.......






Tropical Weather Discussion
Issued: Sunday, September 26, 2010 925 am EDT/825 am CDT

Would you like these tropical weather discussions, including unscheduled updates on any tropical storms or hurricanes that are out there, e-mailed to you? If so, just send an e-mail to: crownweatherservices-subscribe@yahoogroups.com and you will be added to our mailing list.

Tropical Depression Matthew:
For Information About Tropical Depression Matthew with Maps, Images and Graphics, Go To: http://www.crownweather.com/?page_id=3257.

Matthew has tracked into southeastern Mexico this morning. Deep convection across southeastern Mexico and northern portions of Central America are producing very heavy rainfall and the threat is there for flash flooding and mudslides across these areas. Matthew is likely to dissipate within the next day or two and what is left of this system will become embedded within a monsoonal low pressure system that will be located over the northwestern Caribbean sea. This entire mess will likely spawn the development of a new tropical cyclone over the northwestern Caribbean in about 2 to 3 days….more on that in the next section…..

The Caribbean Sea Of Confusion:
The western part of the Caribbean is one big mess of convection this morning thanks to the interaction between what is left of Matthew, a monsoonal low pressure system and energy that is advecting northward from the eastern Pacific. This is a very complex and fairly unusual tropical weather pattern that is going to unfold this week across the Caribbean.

A quicker moving storm might beat the shear before it reaches South Florida as shown in the NAM?

I really hope people on this board living in the keys/florida take comments such as "weak" or "sheared mess" with a grain of salt...This has the potential to have significant impact to portions of FL in the days to come...

yes, I think a line running from Fort Myers to Vero Beach and points south look to be a good bet for an initial landfall...

Who thinks the NHC bumps it up to code orange by 2pm EST?

My vote is yes they will

Now we'll see if there's anything to those monsoon trough formation predictions or Matthew just straight crashed and burned. Matthew's synoptic reminds me of Larry that just ground down and never kicked out back N in BOC.

wxman57 wrote:Surface pressures are already quite low in the western Caribbean (1007-1009mb). Lowest pressure is north of Honduras/east of Belize. Banding is starting to show up on satellite imagery, and it's not Matthew's circulation. I'd say there's plenty there to initiate an invest. Development is looking likely, probably in 48-72 hrs. Northward track toward Florida and possibly into or along the East U.S. Coast seems like a good bet.

And I don't think this will be the last of the storms forming there. Low pressures will continue across the region. This may be the 2nd of 3 or 4 storms that form there over the next 2 weeks. Time for Florida's hurricane season.
Thanks for posting your insight on this thread wxman57 and this board in general as always. One question: do you have a feel for what strength of this system will be when (or if) it moves toward Florida?

Forgive me if this is a dumb question, but are the hi-res images on NOAA or somewehere else? The main ones I've looked at for the Caribbean are on here: http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/satellite.shtml
Is there a better place I can look?

BTW, not sure if it was mentioned, but if the system becomes Nicole before this Friday, then September 2010 will be tied for the most active month on record in the Atlantic. September 2002 and 2007 also had 8 storms (Felix 07 became a TS on September 1), as did August 2004 (Alex became a TS on August 1).

Looks what is lurking behind Nicole. This is the GFS 06Z, one week from now after Nicole has passed:
