Trough axis seems to be showing up near Honduras/Nic. Border. Low should track along this trough(WNW) at least for awhile.

Lo and behold the low center is on the Honduras/Nic border....

The WNW movement of the tropical wave over the Belize area can easily become NNW, in response to the very slow moving/quasi-stationary cold front over the United States. The general movement of the system currently over land may still move toward Florida eventually.

Almost all the pros said nnw and then ne into florida due to the front..but then again all the pros were judging it to develop and if it would have the track would have verified..but due to it's disorganization your track did..obviously this season is going to be alot about luck when it comes to forecasting..but Great JOB!!!

It would have had the system developed like everyone thought it would ...
Since the system remained shallow, the system was steered by the low level flow thus the BAMM model did very well with it in regards to track ...

Easy to blow it off as luck...

I am an old hand at this... I just don't feel the need to throw positions out and not post about them unless they are close. I have studied hurricanes for over 15 years @ the University of South Alabama...no need for credential checks here

If you really want to know what happened here you only need look at the past. June and July system that form in that area are known for their lack of vertical organization. At which point you will always get a wonderfully looking system with a Mid level circulation that forms by the shear magnitude of the convection. It fades away and the LLC takes the path of least resistance in this case WNW...

The national weather service..the weather channel..national hurricane center and early models..I believe thats all of them..they however expected it to develop and it didn't :wink: If it had the shortwave would have verified the track..the pros predicted :wink:
