Not too much change for Dennis, BUT look at what could be Emily. Look out Miami....and dare I say, New Orleans! Looks an awful lot like Andrew's track (and no I'm not saying it will get to what he was).

You said "ANDREW"
Hey floridian's Lets go find perdue!
Just kidding...
I'm just in that mode since i feel so bad for the people of the gulf coast right now, and earlier this morning when Cycloneye posted the intial forecast models for 'E' it bothered me seeing it move near Puerto Rico.
One glimmer of hope though, is that most of the long term models, Nogaps, GFS, EURO, are all showing the bermuda high off to the east, allowing this 'E' Storm to move out to sea. We can only hope!

WOW, if this model came to fruitition... (low chance)

It would be the TWIN BROTHER of Andrew. It appears that the storm is strong enough that its outflow is supplementing the ridge to the north, and building it west infront of it. As a trough from the east coast is pulling out.
yikes...
I wouldn't throw many of my marbles in this forecast, but its an interesting addition to the ensemble. But i wonder this, WHY does the candian keep taking these storms into miami! What did we do to them???

Eric - I don't like that model for this storm - it'd be right over my house

Re: 00z GEM
Just a quick note on this possible system. The probability of U.S. landfall could be higher than normal for such systems given correlations with the MJO's phases. Currently, the MJO is in Phase 2 but could evolve to Phase 4 within 6-8 days.
Phase 3:
Notice in Phase 3 troughing over the central Atlantic is neutral. Odds of recurvature are thus falling.
Phase 4:
Notice now the pronounced ridging that stretches across the Atlantic.
The GFS ensembles provide some support for such correlations. Right now, it's a little soon to have a great deal of confidence in such an idea but it certainly is within the realm of possibility that should a storm develop, it could at least threaten the United States.

lots of time to watch and see what happens
As a few other posters mentioned briefly, the globals are tracking potential TD5 or some kind of wave toward the Leewards or just north of them, depending on which you look at. NOGAPS through 144 hours brings 5 in at a low latitude for most of the way and then starts turning her more WNW/NW around 60-65W. ECMWF shows a weak low/wave skirting the northern islands and ending up in the vicinity of the N coast of Hispanola at 168 hours. The GFS shows a weak low/wave tracking toward the islands, then moving more WNW north of PR/Hispanola a week out or so, etc.
While it's too early to say what will form (if anything), where exactly it will go, etc., one thing that looks a bit more troubling today than yesterday is that the Bermuda high/Atlantic ridge appears to be re-building to the W over the top of this thing (earlier, it looked like that ridge might be beaten back to the E a bit). That COULD steer anything that is out there toward FL or south of FL into the gulf, rather than allow it to recurve.
As an aside, the models seem to be jumping on the low/wave BEHIND 5 too. But with that one, it looks like a more "fishy" scenario could play out (it would come more WNW across the Atlantic and end up at such a high latitude, that it would head off into the open sea).
The usual caveats: Just an amateur's opinion here, not an official forecast. And this far out, there's really no way to know if this thing will develop and where it will go.

If you come on down we need to have a S2K get together..
i am just over the intrcoastel at commercial avenue so a walk to lauderdale by the sea is about 10 minutes, 15 minutes in winds out of the east 50 knots or higher

Sounds like fun... I just hope this would be a cat2 at max... if its coming this way, or it looses the fun aspect pretty quickly.
