this weeks tropics

Well i've taken a look at the globals tonight... looks like next weekend/into next week... there could be some type of tropical system to talk about... ranging from the western caribbean to the central GOM. From a weak TD to a strong TS.....Upper level patten forecast shows a favorable area from GOM to western carb.... (but this is really to far out to know...) high pressure out in the atlantic could be far enough to the east that with any passing trough over the lower 48, this area could get pulled northward. a few gulf coast WFO's now have a mention of this in there long range for next weekend. I not all that too excitied yet... SST's are not really all that impressive... loop current is just starting to warm.... but its something to monitor and watch, while all focus this week with be on central america/epac/western caribbean area... and see what happens and or forms.
