Cutoff low forming over the SE U.S. day 6-7 may protect the U.S.?

Large-scale pattern supports a potential storm getting west. Obviously, that's a big range so we will see what happens over the next week or so.

Tropical Wave in West Africa (Pouch 25L)

#370 Postby WeatherEmperor » Mon Aug 29, 2016 11:29 am

Really threading the needle here. 50-75 miles north or south could put it in the carib sea or die over Hispanola or just scrape the north coast if Hispanola

Even if it goes 50 miles or so north of Hispaniola it could fall apart due to the inflow being cutoff.

It's not even worth thinking about this far out. It's still a big picture thing. Environment supports a potential land threat (this includes the Caribbean, US, Bermuda, and potentially parts of Mexico/Cent. America)...if it develops.

Going to take more than a grazing shot to destroy a likely hurricane. Yes it would take it down somewhat but if it comes into lad as a strong hurricane already, odds are its still going to be one even with a close shave to land.

Anyway a very long way to go, the main thing to take from this run is it is a threat to land, will just depends on whether it does end up forming, not all models agree on that point.
