Like I said earlier, looks bad for Florida.


Verbatim, sure. Too far out though. FL is a tiny spec of real estate compared to what's in front of it.

if I were a betting man... I would bet that is a genesis tower popping off which would indicate the llc closing off and the first tight meso vort is developing. ... all the models have this developing in 30 hours or less.

Hard to say that, I thought the same about Dorian and then the models in unison started stalling it out before taking it north.

Only thing is the Bahamas look to take another pounding regardless. :roll:


There is always a chance of some sort of weakness that wasn't foreseen to yank it up.


This haa happened quite a bit the last few years. A trough coming in at the last hour to save Florida, especially from Matthew, Dorian and Isaias most recently. But, unfortunately at the expense of the Bahamas :(

In your gut.....if you were to extend the UKMET run further in time, would you say it would turn West to affect Florida?

Another tropical wave located over the eastern tropical Atlantic
to the south-southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands is producing
disorganized cloudiness and showers. The wave is forecast to move
westward to west-northwestward at 15 to 20 mph during the next few
days, and environmental conditions are expected to become more
conducive for the development of a tropical depression during the
middle-to-latter part of this week while the system moves across the
central and western portions of the tropical Atlantic.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...20 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...medium...60 percent.

Not sure why they're so hesitant on labeling this one 98L when they labeled 97L with a lower chance of development. Perhaps because 97L is closer to the islands?

I am only a meteorology enthusiast who knows a decent amount about tropical cyclones. Look to the professional mets, the NHC, or your local weather office for the best information.

Right now @gatorcane is looking (as we all are) for ANY HINT of a trough / weakness to ensure his 2020 FL E Coast no threat forecast holds up.

not gonna lie, i hope that he is right. it'd have the potential to be a pretty bad situation if not.
