EPS is starting to come alive next week. This coincides with the timeframe in which the MJO is expected to propagate into the region.

12z GFS and CMC continue to show development in about 7 days. Could see a yellow circle soon.

Looks like a pretty decent monsoon trough to start the season. GFS and CMC show development within 5 days.

Experts have been downplaying the EPAC threat this year. Never under estimate it.
btw don't know why I received this thread.

GFS/CMC/ICON continue to show something developing in 5 days.

Euro finally showed a weak TD in the previous run but is back to showing no development.

Looks like it's back to showing (barely) a short lived TD. GFS on the other hand has been showing a rather strong hurricane for quite a few runs now. CMC is in between and basically splits the difference with a moderate-strong TS - I'm inclined to believe that will be the ultimate result.

Tomorrow the season begins along with the regular TWOs, which means we will be in the home stretch for the Atlantic.

Up to 40%.

South of the Coast of Mexico:
An area of low pressure is forecast to form several hundred miles to
the south of the Gulf of Tehuantepec within the next couple of days.
Gradual development is possible thereafter, and a tropical
depression could form over the weekend while the system moves
slowly to the west-northwest or northwest, remaining south of the
coast of Mexico through early next week.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...medium...40 percent.
