I'm surprised nobody yet mentioned the dreaded "WNW flow".
These words are always quite tough for me to read as whenever they are mentioned by a certain very respected forecaster here (I won't mention the name out of deep respect for the person), tropical threats to the US almost always appear to be nonexistent. I bet nobody can even name one time that something hit the US soon after any time these words were posted here.
Let there be very little mention of the phrase "WNW flow" until at least 11/1!

Derek, is not that your forecast is wrong, is that what it says we don't like to hear.
The remnants of TD 2 are only producing sporadic convection. Upepr winds remain unfavorable and no redevelopment is expected. A weak low has formed in the GOM along a frontal boundary. Upper winds are unfavorable here. A wave near 45W was a low, but the low has dissipated due to shear. A weak low near 40W has no convection, so no devleopment is expected here, either.
