the area in the BOC looks to be weakening, but the central Gulf now looks like it is exploding. I think the ENTIRE Gulf needs to be watched over the next few days.

With all of the mess in the W/C GOM right now this thing could form anywhere in those areas.

yeah, and depending on where something spins up it could be a threat for anyone from Mexico to Florida. One thing that makes me think TX could be safe is the CF currently west and north of the coast. This front may make any storm turn more eastward as it approaches the TX coast, thus possibly creating problems for the central Gulf coast.

Yes, with all of the troughiness that is on the EC if it forms a bit farther east it would put the EASTERN GOM at risk. Obviously it is very early to say but anyone from Texas to Florida should monitor this situation closely - especially if the UL winds die off, it could explode in the GOM.

Here we go again I just saw a cute little whirlwind in the low clouds near the new convection middle of the BOC. Seems to be an awful lot of shear around that keeps blowing the tops off these before they can get started.

Lets hope 98L can stay over water long enough for Chris to form.

No wonder I woke up with a headache. The gulf is looking like one big mess.

I hope not. Especially if its in the BOC or GOM. I don't want any more landfalls.

GFDL showing it coming on shore in Texas and curving east just on the east side of Shreveport.(We could get some much needed rain here in north La)

Looks like the GFDL is the lone ranger on this.

That GFDL track would be great as long as it stayed weak. It brings it across the driest parts of the Southeast. I'm not holding my breath, though. :wink:

What you guys think about the 18z model runs initiating 98L so close to the MX coast, I know we don't have a defined LLC yet but I think they were looking at a mid level spin instead that seems to be dying out, I think that if something was to develop it will be further offshore & north.

Although, I will add to what I wrote, a nice weak TS bringing rain to LA/MS wouldn't be to bad. As long as it is VERY weak.

Actually the Bam models are showing the west turn the others showing east.(I believe the Bam models are better in the deep tropics not so much, this far north?)

the only problem is the thing the models are plotting looks pathetic right now. If shear doesn't die down I don't see this having enough time. I think a bigger threat to TX will be coming during August when those tropical waves out in the Atlantic meet a more favorable environment in the Caribbean and Gulf. When that happens...all bets are off. I predict at least 1 hurricane hit on the TX coast during the August through September time frame, and I see no reason why it won't have potential to be a major one (due to warm waters, and lessening August shear). For now though, I think if something does develop in the BOC it will be a weak TS at most. However, I could end up being very wrong, so we still need to closely watch this area.

Anyone know of any programs that will e-mail you if a TCFA is issued?

Don't forget that the BAM models are not dynamic, so it will forecast the track of a system as if the steerings were not to change.

ships put it at a strong ts. But if it hits the warm waters we might see a cane out of her. Min. But with last year in mind anything can happen
