Okie dokie then. So what are the latest model runs showing?

Update: it's ok I see there's a model thread.

[wxman57]

It's looking like a TD may form on Tue/Wed south or southeast of Jamaica then track NNE across eastern Cuba to the DR and out to sea. Could reach weak/sheared TS strength. Main threat would be heavy rain, mostly east of Jamaica through Haiti and the DR.

SSD Floater is up.

Something that this system will have in it's favor to start the developing proccess and maybe be a strong system is a very warm TCHP.

[galaxy401]

No storm has "formed" in the Caribbean yet. Let's see if this one breaks the drought. Will be a messy week down there for sure.

They made an update to the 12z Best Track to change the position more south.

If you see the positions from Sunday thru Tuesday,they are stationary at 16.0N and only move two longitudes to the west. That means they think the system will not move much for a few days.

[TropicalAnalystwx13]

Looks to be consolidating farther west than it should be right now.

It may just be the wave axis though.

[Frank2]

Still SE of Jamaica, though - looks better for Florida, that's for sure - cool and foggy here at sunrise this morning, very Fall/Winter like...

Saturdays discussion of 99L by Dr Jeff Masters:

A tropical wave embedded in a large trough of low pressure (Invest 99L) covers a large portion of the Central Caribbean between Hispaniola and the northern coast of South America. This storm has the potential to be a dangerous rainfall threat for Haiti, Jamaica, and eastern Cuba. The disturbance is headed west at less than 5 mph, is over very warm waters of 29°C, and is in a moist environment. 99L has a large area of heavy thunderstorms that are beginning to show some organization, as seen on visible satellite loops. Wind shear is a low 5 - 10 knots, and is forecast to be in the low to moderate range, 5 - 20 knots, through Tuesday. This should allow for some steady development of 99L, and there has been a good deal of model support for 99L becoming a tropical depression by Wednesday. Steering currents favor a continued slow westward movement for 99L through Tuesday, which will bring a multi-day period of heavy rains to Haiti, Jamaica, and eastern Cuba beginning on Sunday. The Dominican Republic may also see some heavy rains, though not as great. On Wednesday, a strong trough of low pressure will approaching the Eastern U.S., and the GFS and ECMWF models predict that this trough will turn 99L to the north, bringing the storm into the southeast Bahama Islands on Thursday or Friday. In their 8 am EDT tropical weather outlook, NHC gave 99L a 30% chance of developing into a tropical cyclone by Monday morning. I put these odds higher, at 40%. An Air Force hurricane hunter aircraft is scheduled to investigate 99L on Sunday afternoon.

You're forgetting Rafael, which formed a week ago in the Caribbean:

Even though what ever developes down there will likely get sheared apart and stay to ur east but i think its a Little premature to say something like this. Plenty of uncertainty with regards to the development, strength and track on this possbile developing system.

With all due respect I don't think Frank said anything prematurely.
He said that it looks better for Florida.
How is that a little premature?
I agree with Frank, no one is predicting this to be a Florida issue

Oh forgot about that. Thought he formed outside the Carib.

Well it might be the first storm to FORM in the central/west carib this season.

Oct can always have a late season suprise instore for florida so with developing storm down there its best to keep tabs on it. Having said that the upper level pattern next 2 weeks is for this to stay east of the florida.

Just having flash backs of yesterday. 10/19/05

Let's stop saying if anythings in the woods or out of the woods. For all we know at this point, this system does nothing and goes poof, or makes landfall anywhere at any strength.

If it means anything the canadian model does not put florida out of the woods.
