Re: Broad area of disturbed weather in the southwestern Caribbean Sea
Another look at the EC storm heading for Bahamas then Florida. Two back to back runs showing something similar:

So Florida still in play? Hopefully nothing ends up developing.

Re: Broad area of disturbed weather in the southwestern Caribbean Sea
The way the eastern vortex looks over the western one if I lived on the Florida peninsula I wouldn’t be surprised if a something came up through Hispaniola, developed into a hurricane and headed west through Florida and ended up near New Orleans in the end with that ridge where it is and the fact that it looks like the eastern vortex looks stronger

Note that the GFS has extremely strong wind shear across the Caribbean and Gulf for the next 10+ days.
So nothing to really worry about it sounds like.

I don't really think anyone's NOT in play

Re: Broad area of disturbed weather in the southwestern Caribbean Sea
no models have been consistent, heck the Ensembles keep changing also, we need to get a center so data can be more consistent.

EPS: 5 H hits on FL incl 4 Appalach to Ft Myers (App hit first hit E coast as TS, went W into NE GOM, and turned N) and 1 on Miami.

That was some DEEP convection.
Seems to be thinning out, now.

I said it's something we need to keep an eye on. If the shear forecast is correct, then we could be looking at a sheared TS. It could head to the Carolinas, too, and they don't need any more rain at the moment.

Exactly, if it becomes a NC coast hugger that's the last thing they need.

Re: Broad area of disturbed weather in the southwestern Caribbean Sea
It is still so very early and the NHC has yet to officially initialize a set center yet. There will be plenty of changes ahead. But everyone should be watching the developments of this potential system in the days to come.

NEVER, EVER SAY NEVER in the tropics and weather in general, and most importantly, with life itself!!
