Re: Western Caribbean Area of Interest
12z GFS has a sloppy Tropical Storm tracking thru Florida Peninsula and then making landfall in Georgia / South Carolina border as a 1000 mb TS.

Re: Western Caribbean Area of Interest
an extratropical low remains by far the most likely solution.
The GFS low is not really tropical. Looks more like a frontal wave. FVGFS now trending toward that solution as well

Looks like Euro is losing it now only showing 1003mb probably just a showery holiday weekend as is often the case anyways kicking off summer.

Re: Western Caribbean Area of Interest
One of the experts chims in on this.
@DrRickKnabb
Hurricane next weekend very unlikely, appears not an environment for a strong tropical cyclone. Maybe not even a weaker one, but can’t rule it out. Could be subtropical/hybrid with tropical and non-tropical aspects. Keep watching, we’ll know more later.

Re: Western Caribbean Area of Interest
Does anyone have the 12z EPS? If so, how many members show development?

Re: Western Caribbean Area of Interest
At least for now, the disturbance in question remains a disorganized general area of convection in the Southwestern Caribbean. The whole mass of moisture should slowly push west towards the western Caribbean, but until them, don't expect a whole lot of development.

Re: Western Caribbean Area of Interest
That is not a tropical cyclone on the 18z GFS at 150 hours.

Re: Western Caribbean Area of Interest
I'm inclined to discount the Euro's idea of developing the BE (baroclinically enhanced) surface low underneath the mid-upper trough. I think this is a case where pressures will lower farther east, underneath the stronger jet forced ascent. This is looking like another low latitude XTC event, where you have a broad low, with multiple transient convectively induced swirls getting spat out around a larger gyre, and just about all the precip/heavy rain is in the baroclinic zone to the east. Looks like another heavy rain event for Florida late next week - hopefully slightly lower coverage of rain for a day, maybe two, before then.

I count 4 ECM EPS Members sub 1000mb in the Eastern Gulf headed for the Panhandle 8 days out.

Thanks. So only 4 of the 50 members have development?

I see two others in the 1000mb to 1010mb so maybe 2 TD strength closed lows. First closed low appears near western tip of Cuba by Friday Noon.... 4 TS strength head to landfalls from Destin to Cross City in the Big Bemd area. Strongest appears to be 988mb just East of Appalachicola.

WPC depicts a wet scene over the next week for Florida but really delivers the deluge on the east coast from the keys up to Brevard county. Hopefully the firehose can get a shove eastward.

Lets just say that I won't be trusting the fv3 until it proves its self a few times with these off the wall "predictions".

I think they have to do plenty of fixing and testing to the FV3 before the upgrade in 2019.

EC ensembles chance of development dropped from 59% at 00Z to 33% at 12Z. GFS is up to 73%.

Re: Western Caribbean Area of Interest
What an embarrassment for NOAA. The GFS has become a complete joke.

Re: Western Caribbean Area of Interest
it did totally drop the Caribbean system
of course, it has a BS hurricane in the Gulf. It forms from a weak wave currently near Florida.
That model needs to be blown up and redesigned from scratch. They can start by using a totally different convective paramaterization scheme
