It will be a close call but IMO it will go to the northeast of the leewards based on climotology only.

I would not be so sure about that Cyc. The NHC hinted at the possibility this AM that the trough may not pick 19 up... It's just a wait and see thing right now, still could easily be a fish before the islands or after. Nice to be able to track another Atlantic storm! 8-)

Too close to call. The first trough looks like a miss. The second approaching trough is the question mark.

The posts or stuff said are NOT an official forecast and my opinion alone. Please look to the NHC and NWS for official forecasts and products.

HWRF, GFDL, UKMET, NAVGEM (6:30-8:00 AM/PM, 12:30-2:00 AM/PM)
ECMWF (1:45 AM/PM)
TCVN is a weighted averaged

Opinions my own.

I think there is a good possibility that it will thread the Islands because of the low latitude and strength. I think it will bypass the through.

I think it will go norheast of the islands.
that is because I am putting a voodoo curse on it for it to remain a fish!
:lol:

Almost certainly a fish, but I wouldn't ignore it if I were in the islands.

It's going to be a close call, IMO. It may threaten the northeast leeward islands before turning north and then northeast.

I believe it will be a close call...especially for the northern Leewards.

I agree with it being a close call by most thinking that it will be a close enough to be a threat to the Leeward Islands.

It could clip the northeast islands..even that is doubtful IMO. Folks in Bermuda should watch Nicholas though.
