Shear is decreasing and is becoming more favorable for development, it seems like Florida or the Gulf Coast may get more than just a tropical wave.

Are those shear maps considered accurate?

This doesn't show anything coming to Florida or the Gulf thanks to that ridge.

I don't know if they are, but forecasts aren't always correct you now.

I think it is something to watch but not to get worry about right now. A lot can happen in several days.

But the other part of it in the Carribean has refired with convention. One of the local forecasters said that we might to be on the look out for this.

Yes, as I said earlier this area in the central Caribbean is firing due to wave interaction with shear but as this moves west it will have much more favorable upper level winds.

Looks interesting this morning. I hope I am not going to be making several trips down to the beach to secure items at the condos in the next two weeks. :lol:

8:05 am TWD AN ACTIVE TROPICAL WAVE IN THE CENTRAL CARIBBEAN IS ADJUSTED
AHEAD ALONG 72W/73W SOUTH OF 23N MOVING WEST NEAR 15 KT. THIS
WAVE AIDED BY UPPER DIFFLUENCE IS GENERATING CLUSTERS OF
SCATTERED MODERATE CONVECTION MOSTLY WITHIN 300 NM EAST OF THE
ANALYZED WAVE AXIS FROM 12N-19N BETWEEN 69W-75W. WESTERLY UPPER
LEVEL WINDS ARE SHEARING THE TSTMS TO THE EAST OF THE WAVE AXIS.
THESE UPPER WINDS ARE CURRENTLY UNFAVORABLE AND EXPECTED TO
REMAIN THIS WAY FOR FURTHER DEVELOPMENT.
I'm a bit surpised they are saying winds will remain unfavorable.

Sorry, I'm new to this thread. This wave is far from dead. It's looks better than it has to date IMHO. The wave is picking up energy along the way and is about to get some additional energy piled in from the backside - can't tell from WV conclusively if that energy is from an additional wave or if it's upper level energy. But it doesn't matter. The US Generated Model (GFS) is nuking the Atlatnic ridge as it has tried to do each run the last several days at 00z. The other models maintain or build it farther westward. Obviously the known bias with the GFS would lead the model watcher to conclude that the more likely threat (if there ever is one) is Texas or Mexico. At least it appears that way this early in the game. Everyone on the gulf coast should cast an occasional eye on the system this weekend because it will be in the Gulf by early next week. Whether it ever does anything or not remains to be seen. But at least it's garnering some attention that it didn't get on local Channel 4's 6pm broadcast last night.
