I agree with you there. Seems like the NAM has had a bullseye over the state all year. Lucky for us though, it doesn't seem like the model is too good a playing darts. :wink: :lol:

Almost perfectly-round circulation in the BOC at the moment, but real naked:

Did it drift slightly south, as well?

The wave over the Windwards looks pretty decent, I wouldn't be surprised to see 95L posted on that soon.

It does? Kinda looks like it's breaking up and moving north:

Could something still develop from this?

Both area that I mentioned yesterday went poof,what a surprise. I'm going out on a limb and saying that theirs a 80 to 90% chance that nothing will develop in the Gulf or Caribbean the rest of the season. The 10 to 20% is that small chance that a front will get down there and something will form on the tail end and by that time the shear will probably be picking up in those areas again.

Boca...

Don't be so quick to call out for dissipation. The tropical wave is still there and is firing up new convection over the Eastern Caribbean. As I mentioned earlier, the GFS and NOGAPS have joined in forecasting a large upper-level anticyclone to develop throughout the Greater Antilles and the Caribbean starting tomorrow. If that verifies, this tropical wave will have a near perfect setup throughout its journey across the Caribbean. That being said, the wave will need to become better defined with colder convection to see any type of low pressure form.

I'll be watching...

Hyperstorm I see that its refiring and lets see if this area can make it towards the Western Caribbean without hostile shear developing.

Boca can we change the title to "Eastern Caribbean Wave" as the BOC is dead right now.

Nothing can come of that twist? :

Is it just upper level?

EDIT: Pressure's rising -
