Re: Possible SW Caribbean Development
The 18z GFS-Para is slightly further north this run, just enough to miss Honduras. It has an intensifying hurricane heading towards Belize by 210 hours.
Edit: and there’s a Cat 3 landfall in Belize at 234 hours.

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.

Re: Possible SW Caribbean Development
A lot of ridging over the Gulf and Florida on the GFS-P. Looks a lot like September or even August on the model. Note it also doesn’t really do anything with the subtropical potential in the SW Atlantic which also could allow for some more ridging.

Re: Possible SW Caribbean Development
We've got a big time cold front coming through tonight here in Oklahoma. I don't know how far down there it's supposed to get though. I would think it would at least get far enough to influence the storm. Anyone else have any ideas on this?

...there is a still a feature off the western Bahamas/ Xay Sal on the last frame so its still showing something in the vicinity of South Florida and the Keys.
As always, until we have a low develop all these model runs just a game of pin the tail on the donkey, however it is becoming increasingly likely a low will develop and find a favorable environment somewhere in the West Caribbean.

Florida peeps take a lot of heat for only posting when Florida is in the storm mix, I’d argue Florida peeps post the most when Florida is not in the storm mix. Kingarabian gets props too!!!
It's just human nature .... watch how quiet this thread becomes if the next succession of runs go way E, into CA, or POOF lol .... we are still so far out

Yep development further north essentially yanked it out of the Caribbean. Paloma

. The I-4 to south Florida crowd make up the vast majority of posters on this board- so you can bet that if there is a threat to those areas and those areas alone, this board will be hopping like no other time this year.jlauderdal wrote:I-4 south was the only real audience for this potential system and now that is being crushed to the south and east...will see todayotowntiger wrote:.
