Is that showing the mid-upper levels of the atmosphere? If so, that’s a lot of ridging north of Cuba.

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
Lol, are we supposed to be able to make something out of that? That’s pretty wild. Signals blowing up all over but zero consistency

Naturally being in Key West, Inam really starting to pay attention to what may develop.
It shows basically nothing left of it.

Not sure what you mean?
There is still a very strong ensemble signature with this. Potentially this could pull north over Cuba, impact the Keys go east...miss 94L's trough and stall, mive westward over the peninsula for strike 2, stall again in the GoM and make strike 3 on the west coast with the next trough...
Not a likely scenerio, but certainly not impossible or even unreasonable scenerio given the information available.
As always trying to forecast a system that has yet to develop is guess work.

Re: Possible SW Caribbean Development
At this point we can’t discount the Euro or the UKMET solutions of something getting near or over the Yucatán peninsula before going north or northeast.

Tell me about it!

As I was saying days ago, development keeps getting pushed out.

Re: Possible SW Caribbean Development
I guess there has been some consistency in the GFS on particular runs i.e 12z agrees somewhat with 12z the previous day.
This is especially true with the 18z which in need of an intervention

That doesn't look very strong, or is that map supposed to mean something else?
