Interesting ... something might-be a brewing... Guess where?

SURPRISE!! ... THE CENTRAL ATLANTIC ...

The GFS offers a solution that the current (sub) low pressure system (not Nicholas) west of Nicholas may continue barreling back westward and end up off of South Carolina in the MR ...

The 12z GFS run depiction from PSU indicates something brewing in the Caribbean and maybe in the Central Atlantic ...

Meanwhile at 950mb Vorticity indicates a LOT of small vort maxes littered all over the place.

The Canadian doesn't support most of this scenario except one glaring exception ... The Central Atlantic ....

The scenario IMO, makes sense.

The GFDL is interesting with Nicholas and later in the period ... The Central ATLANTIC! ...

950mb Vorticity

The NOGAPS ... Central Atlantic ....

And FINALLY ... the ECMWF! ... Day 5 --- CENTRAL ATLANTIC!!!!!!! ---

Day 5 EURO

Day 6 EURO

Day 6 EURO 850mb Wind Speeds - indicates 41 kt winds at its maxima.

Day 7 EURO
http://cyclone.plymouth.edu/cgi-bin/gen ... &cu=latest

IMHO, forget the Caribbean for the time being ... keep the eyes out towardds the CENTRAL ATLANTIC for the next 5 days. It might be a brief (maybe a 48 hour period of a tropical entity before weakening afterward, but hey, it's possibly something to watch.)

And the 18Z GFS develops something in the NW Caribbean next week and slams it into the mid LA coast:

Of course, the GFS has never been wrong at 324 hours.....

lol 57. That's some funny stuff. Just the same, we're about to go into the 15 day SOI lag period where the index has been negative since the 18th of October. While that's usually an indicator in late October/early November that no serious artic air can get into the SE US, one wonders what's in the offing if anything tropical can pop up in the meantime. At this point, I don't see many source regions except the EPAC.

In any event, we're supposed to return to the mid 80's by Thursday and stay that way for a while. No one will be hearing any complaints from me. Here's the SOI since it went -.

Larry Cosgrove has been saying for several days that the Nicholas remnants could very possibly intensify while moving towards the Bahamas and Florida. So that is definitely something to watch!

Hmm.. If Nicholas' remnants organize. Could give us Floridians a late season problem here lol.. That would be very interesting considering it's almost November..

The remants are less then impressive right now and a lot of things will have to go right for it to develop. I agree that it is an interesting scenario.

The posts or stuff said are NOT an official forecast and my opinion alone. Please look to the NHC and NWS for official forecasts and products.

Model Runs Cheat Sheet:
GFS (5:30 AM/PM, 11:30 AM/PM)
HWRF, GFDL, UKMET, NAVGEM (6:30-8:00 AM/PM, 12:30-2:00 AM/PM)
ECMWF (1:45 AM/PM)
TCVN is a weighted averaged

Opinions my own.
