Re: Disturbed area north of Panama - Code Yellow
Both the 0Z and 6Z GFS runs have Richard staying to the left and dieing over C.A./MX. Although only the third most frequent scenario, this is a very reasonable possibility per climo, which shows that a respectable 20% of W. Caribbean mid to late OCT storms (13 of 64) have done just that kind of thing. The 0Z Euro doesn't even have Richard.

Yep, Central America. If that scenerio plays out flooding could be a serious issue.

Cmc also pushes it into central America. Should this happen, the US's luck continues as this is only a 20% chance based on climo and one would think troughs would be around this time of year to pull it northward.
Also, though the ecmwf doesn't pick up on this system, check out the 500mb heights a week from now. Looks like ridging builds in a big way over the nw caribbean. The flow across the conus becomes very zonal.
Looks like no threat to the conus at this time.

I think it would be pretty amazing if we ended up having a hyperactive season with no U.S. landfalls. Don't you think?

Re: Disturbed area north of Panama - Code Yellow
00Z trend was definitely westward into Nicaragua vs. north to Cuba/FL/Bahamas. The slower this system develops, the more time it gives for that high center to build to its north, blocking movement to the north. 00Z GFS doesn't really forecast much development until late Tuesday or on Wednesday. That's about the time that the trof axis is passing by to its north. Too late to pick it up. This doesn't mean it's a shut case. There's a chance that it could be picked up and carried N-NE.

looks like most of the guidance eventually takes this into CA....while not a given it certainly seems most likely if the ridge sets up the way the globals are forecasting...A month ago I sure thought the east gulf/fl would be threatened if not hit in October but it looks more like 2010 will be the year of the non-event for the US.

This bizarre permanent front is firmly in place. Reminds me of the prolonged cold snap last winter.

May bring dry air from north preventing significant development. Also protects the U.S coastline from this system potentially. Very November like indeed. Look at how crisp the air is from the Yucatan north throughout the entire gulf! Beautiful beach weather if you ask me

I agree with CourierPR... Last week the GFS continuously had a hurricane hitting South Florida as well as the Nogaps indicating a hurricane heading towards W Cuba posters here were concerned....now that the models shifted to C.A the same posters are now saying that the Conus is safe
Let everything play out....remember that there is nothing organized yet so it's not known if Richard will form....and yes just as soon as the models shifted to CA they can just as easily start shifting back to the US

Re: Disturbed area north of Panama - Code Yellow
I agree with those who say that the US is far from being in the clear yet. Wheras the staying left over CA/MX recently modeled scenario is a reasonable possibility based on the 20% of analogs that did that, don't forget that that same climo has just over twice as many hit the US (42%). Especially with runs as recent as the Fri 12z gfs hitting S FL and considering this climo, it would be ill-advised to give up on a US hit this early.
