I know we are watching the low in the gulf but am wondering if the models are looking at the area of persistent rain in the Carib that has caused flooding and loss of life in Haiti this week?
Another very complicated system in the GOM and imagine after the planes go in we will have a better idea of what is really going on.
Hard to tell but if it does form.. close in there is very little time to warn anyone.
Bill Read worries on this a lot and have heard him talk at conferences where he points out most close in Gulf storms develop and hit land way under 72 hours which is the time frame we try to warn people. As they often say, a bull in the china shop even though right now it doesn't look like much of a bull.
