Ya know I was trying to not notice... but, yeah I did. I want to see a consensus before making any rash decisions. Yes I did see it and yes I'm going to wait for the other 00Z models to come out and see what is really out there.

The canadian model was also show development but, further west into the central gulf.
Hmmmmmm....
Don't feel too "hmmm"... The CMC and NAM are probably the two WORST models for forecasting tropical storm genesis and development. I guess I'd take the CMC over the NAM most of the time, but the CMC tends to bomb out tropical storms much too much much of the time it seems. Geez, I might as well post a NGM forecast on here the way some people take a forecast and run with it

I won't feel much until the GFS, NOGAPS, or UKMET pick up on something.

You probably weren't around on thursday and friday when GFS was bringing a Tropical Storm/Hurricane through cuba Today and Tomorrow.

OK, I found it!! Here is the NGM forecast for 48 hours out................. Drumroll please!................
http://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/pmb/nwprod ... p_048s.gif
From what I cane tell, it appears much as a cold front in the NW caribbean but if that hangs out there as we all know, it needs to be watched! I will continue to monitor the NGM model for the next few days and as always keep ya updated on the storm and how it may affect your AC comfort level--it could get hot in some areas. stay cool!

Christy as I was checking the upper level winds in the GFS forecast it seems as though as the front moves south east the subtropical jet will pull out with it. But, I'm not 100% certain. I would like to take a look at the rest of the upper levels in the rest of the models.

Thanks for that input...now iam going to bed.The GFS is one of my favorites models.More Fantasy stuff guys get use to it thats all i can say.
