Re: Tropical Wave SW of Cabo Verde Islands


Days and days to come of model watching. No doubt the odds of this traversing past 70 degrees Longitude look pretty solid analyzing the GFS and EIRO long range.
What a week we look to have tracking this across the Atlantic!

I really hope it was a very bad run.

building and the trough almost cuts off into a low. but the weakness was already made .. but if that happens sooner that off to the west it will go..

Re: Tropical Wave SW of Cabo Verde Islands
GFS legacy is still more reasonable in the first 3 to 5 days than the GFS. after that is all speculation.. but the 18z Legacy is concerning..

No, but I'm just stating the obvious

18Z GFS Legacy ends up with a very close brush with the eastern FL Peninsula late next week.

Re: Tropical Wave SW of Cabo Verde Islands
I have to say again that recently, the GFS has performed better in the longer range forecasts beyond 7 days than the EURO, so these runs currently from the GFS carries some pretty good significance with me. I know we will see more variances and fluctuations with future model runs.
But, no doubt EVERYONE definitely needs to be paying attention to the forecasts and developments with.this next cyclone and rightfully so!! This could be a potentially BIG one!

Re: Tropical Wave SW of Cabo Verde Islands
Well the end of the legacy has it slowing down and ridging filling to the north and the atlantic ridge building north west.. its trapped.

Re: Tropical Wave SW of Cabo Verde Islands
Hoo boy, that was quite a scare. Only 40 more GFS runs to go until one of them verifies...

The 18z GFS that everyone is talking about:

Goes on to 966 in the Bahamas

The difference between the 12Z GFS and the 12Z Euro is night and day, to say the least!! Interesting part is that the Euro ensembles are still "on board" with a tropical system at least threatening the Bahamas in the LR, it's just the deterministic version that's off the development/strengthening train.

Re: Tropical Wave SW of Cabo Verde Islands
The EURO might be correct this time, with the dry air hammer forcing the convection into the ITCZ. We've seen these late July teasers before - the models jump up and down but the system never gets going....
Let's hope so, because here in South Florida the reasonable (normal traffic flow) evacuation time is out to 5 days - 4 days is rough, and 3 days you're stuck here...
