This forums is for model talk in the season not attached to anything specific, when it becomes clear something is happening, or an invest forms, a new post for it may be created.
That said, after Bertha there is a potential Eastern Pacific to Atlantic Crossover in 7-10 days in the Gulf or Western Caribbean that is worth watching, particularly since the shows it developing into a hurricane. European Ensembles also have warmed to this possibility this afternoon. But it is still a bit too early to say if anything will happen, but the area is unusually ripe for it this year. So it's an area to watch as we enter into the actual Hurricane Season.

not really model storms, but calling out the area in the North Central Gulf, which seems like it could be a candidate for surprise development if it weren't for the high shear in the area, along with an area east of Florida. Gonzalo's remnants is another, as well as the wave east of 92L.
None of these are called out in the , but are ones I'm also watching.

Last few runs of insist on spinning up a hurricane into the Gulf out of the SW Caribbean fifteen days out. Granted long way away but interesting.

On top of this long range forecasts suggest that a strong high pressure ridge is likely to form in the last week or two of August, these typically block storms from recurving, and force them further west which means the chance for land impacts is also greater. This is for awareness to be vigilant this year, but trying to avoid hyping the situation.
OK, yes, but for us storm junkies, the hype is entertainment when daily news is annoying.

Of course, for you pros, keep it real, but feed us as much as possible with anything interesting.

Operational models are having difficult times with the current areas in the Atlantic, however ensembles are showing a rash of activity happening late this week into next, particularly around the West Caribbean/Bahamas.

This jives with general climatology, so the general idea of things ramping up quickly starting this week and next, is likely to occur.

In the , the second of the two waves (eastern most one) is showing up quite well in the 12Z Euro today, as moving generally west, and into the Gulf, this trajectory (along with the high/ridge setup) is probably going to focus our attention on it pretty soon. Particularly since it has a decent potential to impact Florida and/or the Gulf.

SST's 30C (+/-1C) in the NW Caribbean and throughout the Gulf of Mexico:
GOMEX
Will moisture and shear also be favorable for (potentially rapid) cyclogenesis when 97L enters the area?

GFS starting to hit on the second tropical wave now in the east tropical Atlantic developing in the central Atlantic passing north of the islands over the holiday weekend, then intensifying into a major hurricane re-curving in the Atlantic well east of Florida between Labor Day and the Sept 10th peak:

GFS no longer touting an organized system the week after Labor Day- latest run showing a trough along the eastern seaboard with low pressure areas to the south:

The sprawling area of convection that will move off the African coast into the far eastern Atlantic tonight has my attention:
https://www.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/GOES/se...R&length=12
I'm not sure if conditions in the central Atlantic will be supportive of development late this week after it enters and traverses the central Atlantic, but the size/momentum of the initial wave, the higher latitude that it may track, and the proximity to the Sept 10th seasonal peak activity has my undivided attention.

GFS is getting more consistent in wanting to spin something up in the Western Caribbean moving it North in in 1-2 weeks.

Well, is doing it again in the Western Caribbean, about 8 days out. Too late in the model run to provide consistency in the trajectory, seems to be North and then NW, or just NW.
