Outside shot at something threatening for subtropical development as we head toward the end of the coming week. Pretty good agreement amongst the available guidance (GFS, NOGAPS, UK, MM5) toward a cut-off low forming over the subtropical Atlantic somewhere near 35°N/35°W, give or take about 5 degrees latitude/longitude either way. A blocking ridge over the far northeastern Atlantic and western Europe is projected to persist through the period, allowing for this thing to sit over the open waters for a span of about 4-5 days before finally being captured by another mid-latitude feature as the block erodes....
...Maybe 5-10% for subtropical development, almost no shot at tropical development, but we'll see what happens as the season starts on Thursday.
