The Google ensembles have something developing in the Caribbean S of Jamaica/Cuba. Maybe the slop gyro extends that far out away from Central America but the much lower support for a CAG system from the physics ensembles suggests it is a moot point where any system that could enter the Gulf develops, because it probably won't.
I mean, it is true that the physics models show a low amount of support for a system considering how far out they're showing development, some ensemble members that do develop on them originate from the Caribbean south of Cuba. The physics models also try to spin up something in the BoC and off the coast of Belize which I'm guessing is what you're talking about. Here's the Deep Mind vs. GEFS ensembles:
Deep Mind: | GEFS: |

I can't get the Euro ensembles out to 360hrs for free (i.e. weathernerds isn't going to show it because the members that develop are 300+ hrs out), but the gif lsuhurricane posted shows a similar pattern of development that the GEFS shows. It also looks like out to 384hrs the GEFS develops another member or two. So, both the AI and physics models show some development in the SW Caribbean, its just that the physics model signal is very small (to the point I put little weight in it for now—just watch and see).
