Re: Tropical Wave approaching Lesser Antilles
Good thing is that we're still 10 days out. Lots can change, and hopefully will, though a wet system dropping a few inches of rain over a day or two would be welcomed in most of the state of Texas.

A lot more noise by the Euro ensembles for development with this tropical wave.

Note that many Euro ensembles are actually showing a strong TS, especially if it manages to avoid the islands.

2018 Tropics: Global Model Runs Discussion (Out to day 16)
NAM 12km shows some consolidation in the NW Gulf at 3.5 days. Energy will be near/at the surface. Here is the 850.

Looks like some piled up energy with juice from a tropical wave slowly heading toward the Texas coast as it spins up. Interesting solution, and this would be valid Friday.

Wave will interact with a tutt trough to increase instability in the NE Caribbean islands and Greater Antilles. After wave passes the trough is when things can turn more favorable as some models are indicating when it arrives in the GOM.

Moved your post to this thread as this wave may be the trigger.

Re: Tropical Wave approaching Lesser Antilles
Word. I’ll delete it. I did 3 of them but I didn’t realize they were being moved and so I deleted the reference.
My bad. I confused it all up. I was thinking what the NAM has was before this wave but maybe not?

Re: Tropical Wave approaching Lesser Antilles
Here it is at 700mb which is 10,000 feet up so not that high. If you watch the evolution across Cuba and maybe a surge from the Yucatán, you can see how this comes together. It’s the NAM so, there are no warranties. But GFS 18z only had an onshore flow out the SE/ESE. Major coup for the NAM if it gets this right. Im not sure it’s the same wave that this thread is about though because it would be at like 93W in 3 days.
Check it out.

The GFS is kinda showing it as well, just not to the extent of the NAM.

Re: Tropical Wave approaching Lesser Antilles
Shear is heavy out on front of it, but it's much more favorable over the island chains.

It sort of hints at the surface winds buckling, but it doesn’t close anything off. It would be cool to see something unexpected pop up for the Labor Day weekend provided it just brings moderate conditions. I’ve been looking farther east. NAM has that tropical storm looking threat for this weekend. It’s always interesting with Texas because of potential tightening into landfall. I don’t know.

Re: Tropical Wave approaching Lesser Antilles
looks like the Euro develops it very close to SW Florida at 192
south of the Panhandle at 216, looks LA/MS bound?
