Quote: Two systems would explain the split in the models.
Fujiwhara effect. Western system goes across the islands toward Hispaniola, and the spin from West turns East system toward the NW across the Virgin Islands and north of the Turks and Caicos Islands.
Yeah, I'm familiar with the Fujiwhara effect. I've seen two systems develop simultaneously in the Atlantic before (it's been many years), but I don't remember them ever being this close together. It does explain the model divergence, though.
So much for a peaceful season...
