I just read about a tracking system consisting of two box models ( I forget what the name of the system was) that says if a hurricane or tropical storm passes over the two regions where the boxes are located, the hurricane has a great possibility to hit South Florida. The two box places are over the Leeward Islands and in the Caribbean Sea between Cuba and Honduras right to the WSW of Jamaica. Now, I know that the path of TD # 5 will obviously fluccuate for a while but right now, the forecast paths take TD # 5 to both of these places.
I just wanted to know if any of youse have ever heard of this tracking system and if it has predicted well in previous years.

Looking at the new model plots for TD #5, and taking a concensus average, looks like it will be coming into the Carib at a higher latitude than where the developing was at the time. This may pose a greater threat to the D.R or even P.R, but way to early yet. the 11pm discussion should be interesting.

Is it just me or is 5 just looking like a blob. Everything else looked alot more like a TD when it was numbered.

The Global models suggest it may be "interesting" for the SE next week.

The last visible loop from today showed a well defined circulation.

Jamiewx,

If you go to the supplied link and check it out, sounds like it's not a good indicator.

not sure how good of an indicator it is if a TD or TS passes through one, the article mentions specifically Major Hurricanes.

true. I guess I didn't read it carefully. I didn't realize that they meant that almost every hurricane that passed through those boxes hit S. Fla. BEFORE 1950. Since 1950, only a couple that went through the boxes hit S. Fla.
So yeh, I didnt read it carefully
