Hey--long time since I've made a post. I've been pretty busy with college apps and senior year, but I have been watching the tropics as well.

For TD24...I'd say that the 18Z GFS shows a reasonable scenario with an eventual sharp turn to the right. To echo what others have been saying, it is still too early to make a call on this storm. There are still many model runs as well as much time to watch TD24.

I suppose we could see an intense hurricane out of this eventually. At the same time, the very slow strengthening that has recently occured isn't overly impressive. We'll see...
