Mentions that "tiny systems" like the one in the NW Carib can slip through the cracks and develop, even when the models don't predict anything.

Funny I wouldn't consider it a "tiny" system more like average sized but anyway I think we'll be seeing Bonnie out of this one. Could be a hectic week around here...

The final vis. shots of the day look very impressive. It's really starting to wrap and if it doesn't lose all of its convection overnight it should be upgraded tomorrow.

Love the appropriate wording from the 8:05 TPC discussion rockyman linked to...

...Discussion...
Gulf of Mexico and W Atlantic...
as the ridiculously deep upper trof (4-5 standard deviations
deeper than average) for early Aug loses amplitude over the NW
atlc...

As we like to say down here..."YEAH, YOU RIGHT!" :D

I agree with that discussion. The global models will have a hard time with it. They don't even pick it up in the latest runs...and they lose it quickly. We have to wait for it to be initialized right...and even then it will be a problem. The resolution on the models is too big.

Just did a loop of cancun radar...it does have a nice spin...now the only thing that has to happen is the convection has to hold together overnight and we will be in business.
