Why would you hate to say it? Anyway, none of the models are ever 100% correct so don't be so hard on the NAM. Who knows it may be on to something this time around,

I know the NAM forms a lot of phantom storms, but sometimes it's right...especially when there's consistency. The NAM and Canadian were the first models to pick up on Alberto, and the NAM also picked up on Beryl before any of the others. I know it's not the best choice when it comes to the tropics, but this year, I'm giving it a little more credit than previous years.

Believe me, I'm not excited...just stating the obvious.

I agree. If it has any consistancy this year, I'll be more apt to pay attention.

Can the GOM wait for 5 days until I return to Houston from London?

Please?

Someone dump some ice cubes in the GOM for me. Thanks!

Wonder if the blob off the tip of Florida will be the player. Or could be combination of what is in Gulf now kick started by area in Carib and energy South of Florida. We'll see.


We may need to watch this blob off the tip of Florida.

Is the current GOM blob associated with an upper low? Should the convection die with nightfall?
