Why are we using the ECMWF to determine if this is going to develop or not? How many times does it need to be said that the ECMWF has terrible skill in indicating development of weak tropical cyclones? Use the GFS.

Looking a model tracks, they all pretty much landfall in the same spot around Tampa so that would be interesting in its own right

Even though convection is firing off due to heavy shear, this already has some good looking outflow with it.

http://www.atmos.washington.edu/~ovens/loops/wxloop.cgi?wv_east_enhanced+24

Two ULLs already plugging in poleward outflow channels

One at 31N 72W and the other at 26N 56W.

If continues like this, should get vorticity down to the surface in a couple days and have an anti-cyclone over it.

Gotta remember, upper troposphere is now cooling down which is aiding parcel lift and generating strong convection.

Same effect like DMAX, only 24 / 7.

Cyclonic convergence on MIMIC-TPW. Seems to be centered about 14N 78W

12z Euro high resolution now inline with GFS and CMC. Still a weak TS but it has been getting stronger on each run.

12z UKMET showing the low at 72 hrs. I think we have good consensus now on something getting going soon.

I think they may task recon for Monday if this still looks good later

The 18zGFS is weaker and to the east towards the Key West heading north on the spine of the Peninsula of Florida.

Heres a review of trends

GFS seems to be weaker
FIM is weaker
Euro is stronger
Canadian is stronger
NAVGEM seems to be holding steady

so if you use a model blend there is no clear trend so well see if this goes the way of the FIM and GFS with weaker with each run or towards the Euro and Canadian with a stronger system with each run

seems to develop where the convection is and not where the best vorticity is which is why you really need a low to form for more accurate model runs

It looks like the whole area is lifting up towards Haiti but I know its not the case til the low actually forms.
