Re: Tropical Wave in Eastern Atlantic (0/50)
0Z EPS mean is E of the more threatening GEFS with very few in the Gulf and most members recurving E of the US. A nontrivial number still hit the E coast, however. So, a long way to go!

Re: Tropical Wave in Eastern Atlantic (0/50)
A couple of GEFS members do look very concerning. But shoutout to that one member with Idalia 2.0 giving Perry its 3rd hurricane in 2 years

Meanwhile, 0z Euro looks like it's aiming for that rare Maine landfall:

I sent mantis a dm to help him with terminology and a few "suggestions". Too early to call this a fish, more concerning now is what else is on the map, as we inch closer to peak.

Model Maps have activity in the longer range, I could have been more clear about which maps.

Outer Banks, Cape Hatteras is on the outer banks, but that's not what OBX means. SOFLA means lots of things, which is why I say SEFL. In terms of this board, there is a big difference between SWFL and SEFL-ask the recipients of IAN and IRMA, but both are in SOFLA.

Re: Tropical Wave in Eastern Atlantic (0/50)
That surely was a shift west. I don’t know if the gfs had it this close to the coast before. Surely no fish as of now because models already have it hitting the islands. It’s still early and until we get a center and more data, don’t be surprised to see more changes.

Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
800 AM EDT Fri Aug 9 2024
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
Active Systems:
The Weather Prediction Center is issuing advisories on Post-Tropical
Cyclone Debby, located inland over the Mid-Atlantic region.
Near the Lesser and Greater Antilles:
A tropical wave located several hundred miles to the west-southwest
of the Cabo Verde Islands is producing a large area of disorganized
showers and thunderstorms over the tropical Atlantic. Any
development of the wave should be slow to occur during the next
couple of days while it moves westward across the central tropical
Atlantic. Afterwards, conditions are expected to become more
conducive for development while the wave moves west-northwestward,
and a tropical depression could form by early next week while the
system approaches the Lesser Antilles. The system is then forecast
to continue moving generally west-northwestward and could approach
the Greater Antilles by the middle part of next week.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...medium...60 percent.

Last geo post for today and this includes govt agencies like NHC. When you say all interests in Florida or its nearing Florida, you are causing confusion. There is a big difference between something closing in on Miami and something closing in on Pensacola for the general public not watching every model cycle.

It’s a complex set up, if it hasn’t been yet, it’s going to be.

Re: Tropical Wave in Eastern Atlantic (0/60)
The wave already looks very healthy on satellite. Almost looks like the budding of a monstrous storm. Where it goes...that's the big question isn't it? And no, I don't count this as a "fish" storm because it seems on track to impact the extreme northeastern Caribbean islands.

Unless explicitly stated, all info in my posts is based on my own opinions and observations. Tropical storms and hurricanes can be extremely dangerous. Do not think you can beat Mother Nature. Refer to an accredited weather research agency or meteorologist if you need to make serious decisions regarding an approaching storm.
Re: Tropical Wave in Eastern Atlantic (0/60)
Will be interesting to see how the EC and GFS emsembles trend the next few days. Way too early to know where this storm goes past the LAs. All we have to do is remember the early runs of Debby. The Euro consistently had it going up the east coast.
