NHC has scheduled a possible recon flight for the 18N 85W (Carribbean area), if it becomes better organized and/or gains convection. The next few days will be interesting.
And now for a poll:
Will the area of disturbed weather in the Carribbean develop?

Activity is increasing from the nw carribean northeastward towards the Bahama's. This area stays persistant as waves of low pressure run along this area. Right now upper air configuation does not warrant any tropical weather for the next several days but it does mean that moisture in place could run along the Florida east coast especially southeast Florida for several days with winds increasing as these waves develope. Some models do show tropical development in the eastern Pacific though weak out 5-7 days so for now we must keep close eye on upper level winds and wait for them too decrease over the next 3-4 days then maybe we will see some development in the NW Carribean.

Gary, ya beat me to it! Storms a comin'. I'm gonna pull the pin on this one after my gut this week and todays TPC forecast which shows (as we all know) almost unanimous model concensus of a pretty intense storm that will evolve into a warm core system in the NW Carib and track across S. Fl and up the east coast. Probably then take on characteristics, but the Gulf Stream is damn warm. This one early blow will rattle the windows folks, cause flooding and beach erosion, which sucks since they just replaced the beach south of Cape Canaveral. Stay tuned....We haven't seen an early one like this in a while. Cheers!! Steve H.

What happens if this system develops and decides to take a more westerly track; say into the GOM?HAHAHA. I guess the wind patterns will not let that happen.

Yeah Joe's OK, but did you see his post today...it says a lot of nothing. Alright so I said I'd pull the pin, it gets the chatter started. And Shawn the track and intensity of the low is still up in the air, but I agree with Gary that something will develop and a pretty deep low at that. Let see where the cutoff sets up, and go from there. The easern GOM isn't out of the question by any means....I want to see the EC tonight to see where/if it puts it. Pretty good hype for something that isn't there yet, but I wouldn't think all the models are wrong. HPC says the AVN is out of bed....too far east with the current pattern, but says the UKMET is too far west, and they take a compromise position. From our experience it probably won't go down the middle of the solutions. This should be fun to watch. If it doesn't develop I'll go into hibernation until August...LOL> Jeers!! Steve H.

I Like Him, and respect his aspects and theorys of tropical weather.

I tend to agree on all sides with Joe B. He's out there doing his own thing, and I read him every day. Sometimes I watch the videos if there's anything exciting going on. One thing that was interesting in his comments today - that I couldn't make heads or tails of was the discussion of how after Allison, they knew TX was out of the woods. If I put 2 and 2 together, maybe what he was saying was that the fluke that was Allison set the western-most boundary area that no other storm would approach that season because of the setup thereafter? Obviously there must be some connection with an early subtropical storm and what it does for down the line?
The other thing of note from his discussion today was that he seems to have found a similarity in this year's setup with the previous 4 years. I don't see a strong East Coast trof this year. It seems like it's progressing the opposite to me - high pressure over Florida. And if his proverbial 'trof in the means' sets up between 90 and 100 W, that tells me the entire Gulf Coast from Eastern TX to South FL would be in the line of fire at any given time.
A quick check of the models tonight showed that the European, which was the first to jump on development, really isn't doing anything. Some of the other models want to set up low pressure NE of the Bahamian Kingdom or off the NC Coast in 96-120 hours. One of the s that I looked at appears to be overly bullish on Eastpac action, but several of the other models are wanting to put something down there too.
At least things are getting interesting.

This is a correction to my last post - I went and looked at the new and it definitely shows a low with some precipitation first along SW FL, then off of coastal NC. The other link I had wasn't updated (that was the Tropical Genesis Potential).

Looks like it might be a good rainmaker for FLorida - which is good but not so good given the Holiday weekend. Doesn't look like anyone has it developing into anything significant at this point.

Quite logical Caneman, I think it will hang off the coast with stiff easterlys coming across the se , central coast . Like Steve mentioned, at least things are getting interesting . Looking at the tropical genesis.
