Man. I figured this place would be buzzing like a beehive, but I guess the word on a potential pre-season storm hasn't made its rounds yet. I checked out a bunch of models, but didn't really see anything one way or another. One model MM5, had a 1008 low off of the keys in 96 hours then 1004 over Cuba in 120. NOGAPS showed rain off the TX coast in 96. ETA had some convection in the Central Gulf in 48 hours. NGM had a "circle" over Cuba in 48 hours. Obviously the lack of model definition has something to do with a front that isn't even down to LA yet. I suppose they'll come around if the front ends up in the central GoM and sits for a day or two.
