Day 4 and 5 maps depict a large TW moving across the Caribbean toward the GOM.

Yep...



I actually think this will be a system before the islands.

Gee, should we just get it over with and give it a name now?

It has come off the coast in a bad way. (BAD FOR PEOPLE WHO HATE HURRICANES) and it looks rather healthy. I'll spend some good time on it during my video update.

Naw. Too high of a likelihood that a Cat 5 will materialize out of thin air in the Carrib ahead of it between now and when it hits the islands. Then we'd have to deal with the whole renaming and gender reassignment issues. Too much trouble.

And with the ridge strong in place, as depicted, it will likely head to Mexico.

The wave "has the look" of a potential nasty storm.

It looks good right now. I guess it is behind the big dust cloud, so that shouldn't be a factor.

My question would be, how much effect will this extreme heat have on water temps and tropical areas in regards to cane available heat energy and high water temps for fuel?

[WeatherEmperor]

just give it some time. waters are warm enough to support some development.

The hurricanes can use all the energy they want, the sun will be there to follow the systems track and rewarm the water. No problem of heat outages!

Thanks for the response, I guess my point was really that we seem to have extra heat to fuel these storms to work with and make the season worse.

Things must be really slow if we're talking about a system that is at least a week away and already saying it will go into Mexico again. Do you'll realize how inaccurate those 5-7 forecasts are?
