EXTENDED FORECAST DISCUSSION
NWS HYDROMETEOROLOGICAL PREDICTION CENTER CAMP SPRINGS MD

COORDINATION WITH TPC RESULTED IN DIRECTING THE
POSSIBLE TROPICAL SYSTEM NORTHWARD EAST OF FLORIDA...BUT AGREED
WITH THE SPECIALIST THERE THAT CONFIDENCE IN EITHER THE STRENGTH
OR TRACK OF THIS LOW IS QUITE LOW. THE 12Z GEM GLOBAL TAKES THE
SYSTEM SOUTH OF CUBA...THEN LIFTS IT INTO THE EASTERN GULF OF
MEXICO...WHILE THE GFS TRACKS IT NORTHWARD WELL SHORT OF THE
FLORIDA COAST IN A HEAVILY SHEARED ENVIRONMENT.
