several of the globals have been persistently developing the wave slated to move off the west african coast later tomorrow. gfs has been doing it every run, euro is seeing it some, and some of the other models are following it, too. variety of forecasts for whatever synoptic pattern would be in place were it to develop and come across. gfs has been mostly pushing it across, but is recurving it in the afternoon runs. euro has a pattern in place going into late month that might turn it up or might block it and yank it west. looks like a moderate chance we'll get a storm and a lesser it chance it might be a real threat.
keep an eye on the nw caribbean/gulf around mid next week. synoptic pattern looks good for something and the nogaps and euro are suggesting something might pop. if i was in texas, particularly south texas, i'd take a glance over the weekend.
hotter than hell here. got to 106 over at the airport. hottest day here since 1999.
