Re: Possible SW Caribbean Development
Model results for Zeta are likely to become way more variable now that most models have picked up on the likelihood of Epsilon developing. We’ll need to wait for Epsilon to develop this weekend to have a better idea on how it would weaken the ridge and/or influence Zeta.

I am only a meteorology enthusiast who knows a decent amount about tropical cyclones. Look to the professional mets, the NHC, or your local weather office for the best information.

Someone please explain how the 12z ICON develops Zeta in the SE Gulf.

If it were to verify, and that is highly questionable at this point.

Most runs have been this far east, but the GFS has been MOSTLY consistent on a storm or hurricane ejecting NE across East or Central Cuba. Last nights 18z run was an outlier. Having a -NAO lends this more credence in my opinion.

I feel that this system is definitely something to watch in the coming days, if I lived in Florida. Wouldn't a system that forms down there, track towards Florida, perhaps influenced by a front?

Unless it can get into the the far NW Caribbean before ejecting NE and threat to Florida seems limited. Besides the North Atlantic Oscillation is negative as I’ve been saying so an escape route through Cuba and The Bahamas seems more plausible. We’re also more likely today than a few days ago to have a weakness form thanks to the Subtropical area that could grab the name Epsilon.

Re: Possible SW Caribbean Development
A late season storm missing florida to the east and south is very common (think Michelle 2001). From the start I have suspected that any risk to the state is more likely to be weighted south and east...but the higher risk is likely to reside east and south of the state. We shall see but that is definitely an option. Post Delta... it's become easy to not worry so much about cane season unless and until there is compelling evidence to the contrary. So far that philosophy is working nicely but we will keep checking in.

Re: Possible SW Caribbean Development
You know I’m going to laugh if this storm moves closer or threatens FL & I live in FL. The way most on here are discounting a storm & telling people to come back in June when a Low hasn’t even formed yet frankly surprises me seeing the seniority on This page. Shouldn’t we know by now that storms & models change drastically. Wow.. we can’t let our guard down. Keep saying the so called shields are up & watch a hurricane make landfall in places some are saying won’t happen forever. Wow I’m shocked but maybe it’s just me.

Re: Possible SW Caribbean Development
I think the CMC is the most reasonable. I think GFS is ramping it up too quickly.
12z GEFS trending weaker and more west.

I agree with you. Here we are on the 15th with some predicting a clear miss for Florida from a storm that hasn't formed yet but may form around the 19th or 20th. This and the overuse of the word "bury" boggles my mind.

That track reminds me of the flying saucer pushing the Washington Monument around in "Mars Attacks!"

Re: Possible SW Caribbean Development
2 PM TWO:
A broad area of low pressure could form by early next week over
the southwestern Caribbean Sea. Some gradual development of the
system will be possible thereafter while it moves slowly
northwestward.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...low...20 percent.

Check the posts above you. The same people seem to reiterate the same thing. Can't verify something that isn't there yet, hell, even the upper level environment isn't set in stone.. We are just gambling at this point but normally when the threat to Florida is "off", or when people are "breathing a sigh of relief" we get that drop in attention.
