For the interest of those on the Gulf coast and since I didn't hear it mentioned, the EC develops a TS just off the TX/MX border and moves it eventually to the NNE, bringing it over LA at 168 hours as a rather strong system. Squirrelee, the GFDL phantom from yesterday may have hinted at something, but the Canadian model shows a significant system developing in the Bahamas and bringing it down to 987 mb at hour 144. The 12Z run of the GGEM and RGEM also show it as well as the 0 Z CMC. Think it is a bit too far north and east with it's position since a fairly large high pressure area should be developing near the east coast. But then again, it could give us a stronger Eduoard!! Now I think I'll go in the garage, close the door, and start the engine. Cheers!! Steve H.
