wow...a 992mb low would mean this thing is a tropical storm for sure. 992mb is even in the range of a weak Cat. 1 storm!

Is there any other computer model supporting NAM's forecast?

Will the environment in a few days be favorable to allow a strong tropical storm to develop?

Scorpion, are you sure that is today's 6Z run? I just checked two other sources (NCEP and accuweather) for the NAM 6Z run and neither of them show that strong of a low.

I've been looking at the upper level wind forecasts for the medium range, and it appears that conditions should be somewhat more favorable, but still not ideal...probably good enough for an Arlene-type sheared system...that huge trough should be off the East Coast by Day 4 and the subtropical jet should not be ripping through the Gulf like it is today.

But this is what I find weird. When I went to the NCEP models page...this is the image I am getting for 84 hours out on the 6Z run:

Hmm, that is weird. I wonder which one is right? They both look to be from the same source too. The difference, and an important one at that, is that yours shows a strong TS/Hurricane and mine shows nothing.

Based on the recent Pacific Pattern, it seems likely that something will form a little further east than it had in the next few days. Whether that energy coalesces (sp?) on land or in the EPAC remains to be seen. I'm not putting much stock it in, as I'm assuming no one else is either, but it's a curiosity anyway. Thanks for posting.

Wow from looking at the NAM loop it seems like we might have our first named storm.

Not just our first named system, but if NAM materializes which I still have my doubts since no other computer model is supporting this forecast, we could have our first hurricane.

I'm having the same problem.

Upper level winds in that area still show 20-30 knots of shear too.

whoa! talk about weird! I just did more research and found that on this page ( http://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/pmb/nwpara/analysis/ ) The models show Scorpions Hurricane, but on this page ( http://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/pmb/nwprod/analysis/ ) they show my nothing storm. This is making me VERY confused! There seems to be no apparent difference in these two pages until you look at the models.

EDIT: nevermind. I just figured it out. Here is what the writing at the top of the second link says:

Please click on this link for our experimental changes to add new WRF graphics for 24-hr, 36-hr and 48-hr precipitation and new SREF graphics at three hour time steps. In addition four new SREF probability graphics are added

This explains it.
