Could the trough they are refering to be the tail extending from Cidney which is now visibly starting to hang over florida panhandle?

I know this radar has been discussed before:

Sure looks mostly west to me, and the center is clearly visible. The last frame is about 1 1/2 hrs old.

I know they are forcasting Cindy to be gone...but that tail she has could hang around as a trough for much longer. Just a thought. 8-)

Well they have it at 15.2 N/70.9W - not 14.9 Luis. That being said, it looks to be moving west to me.....not 300 degrees!

does anyone have an opinion on how much these model runs will change over the next few days? I always ignore them at first because inevitably they change (just like the NHC 5 day map) but I am starting to take this one seriously.

Any reason they'd veer somewhere else?

I expect them to continue flip-flopping through today, at least, and probably into tomorrow as well. By tomorrow, I'll probably begin to pay more attention just because we in S. FL would begin to feel effects before those on the northern Gulf Coast.
