Well at least, barring every possible thing suddenly going "right", it will at worst be a weak tropical storm. I'd give more of the heads up to the central and west gulf coast.

I'm not buying it. Our overhead is unusually clear (therefore dry).

This wave has shown persistant lack of formation. I think I'll stick with it...

Mainly because of what Sanibel said. If it was going to get going into something big in the Atlantic, it would have by now.

If it makes it into the Gulf, that'll be it's new life.

No, the conditions are very dynamic in the Atlantic where it is at and it is moving into a more favorable environment with water temps much higher than a few days ago...so I expect development.

TAFB has it in the Florida Straits in 48 hours and off the SW coast of Florida in 72 hours. She's looking a lot better tonight:

Well, I guess if it develops calling it a "she" is probably correct given that the Jose name was taken from it already.
Seems many had it named "Jose" what seems like weeks ago!

I would agree "it" is looking alot better. "It" being a TW.....

I only joke here because I was scolded for given a TS a gender not so long ago back in my newbie days. Got to be some un-written MET law somewhere on this..... :D

I said "she" because it would likely be Katrina -- unless the Cape Verde wave comes to life very quickly.

>>Why? I think I'll go with the TAFB.

If so, you've got an "L" as in Tropical Depression. As aerojad said, if you're going with TAFB, the worst you're going to see is a weak TS.

FWIW, I'm not prognosticating this potential system at this point at all. I'm just saying the map doesn't show anything significant.
