Re: Low Pressure to form in West-Central Caribbean
I’m not writing this off as a CA storm until we actually a LLC to follow. Setting is almost similar to Wilma, who also had a ridge to the north at the beginning of her life. And we all know where she eventually ended up.

Re: Low Pressure to form in West-Central Caribbean
2 PM TWO:
An area of low pressure is expected to develop over the west-central
Caribbean Sea in a day or two. Environmental conditions are
expected to support gradual development and a tropical depression
could form late this weekend or early next week while the system
moves slowly westward.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...medium...50 percent.

Re: Low Pressure to form in West-Central Caribbean
Could anyone post an updated graphic model for this area or provide a link? I’m afraid it’s not a part of my skill set
Thanks!

Re: Low Pressure to form in West-Central Caribbean
Not a Wilma repeat we hope because of strong high pressure to the north this time, unlike in 2005 when the trough was approaching - similar to today...

Re: Low Pressure to form in West-Central Caribbean
It's looking increasingly likely that this moves inland into Central America with no development. However, it should be stressed that models did not develop Michael until a few days out.

Re: Low Pressure to form in West-Central Caribbean
Do any models actually develop this anymore?

That front will not make it through South Florida. Likely going to be awhile until we see any significant decreases in both temperature and dew point.

A broad area of low pressure is expected to develop over the
west-central Caribbean Sea in a day or two. This system is expected
to move slowly westward toward Central America through early next
week. Environmental conditions are forecast to support some slow
development, however, interaction with land could limit the chance
of formation once the system approaches Central America on Monday or
Tuesday.

Re: Low Pressure to form in West-Central Caribbean
Looks like the GFS,FV3 and ECMWF develop this on the EPAC side after it moves thru CentralAmerica.

Re: Low Pressure to form in West-Central Caribbean
Next!
A broad area of low pressure could form over the west-central
Caribbean Sea in a day or two and then move slowly westward toward
Central America through early next week. Environmental conditions
are becoming less favorable for tropical cyclone formation.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...low...20 percent.

Very slowly starting to close the door. Maybe a few last minute surprises, but I think most are ready for cold!

Wouldn’t rule out another Otto-like system without the East Pacific crossover part, but HOPEFULLY Michael was the finale in terms of continental U.S. impacts is concerned.

Re: Low Pressure to form in West-Central Caribbean
Two LL Vorts developing in shear-axis convection.
Water Vapor imagery indicating conducive moisture from low to upper levels.
Chances looking better for possible development.
Could brew for a couple days.

Re: Low Pressure to form in West-Central Caribbean
I also see vorticity in the SW Caribbean and tons of moisture in the central Caribbean. I do think the Caribbean produces a storm eventually. This bears watching. There is a low shear zone in the SW Caribbean.
