No change from last night. Still trucking along, models still show it hitting the Yucatan.

It is up to a 70% chance of formation though.

TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
200 AM EDT SUN JUL 31 2016

For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

A fast-moving tropical wave is nearing the Lesser Antilles. Although
showers and thunderstorms are fairly well-organized, there are
currently no signs a closed surface circulation. However, this
system has the potential for some slow development during the next
couple of days, but the best chance for tropical cyclone formation
is likely to be by the early to middle part of next week when the
wave reaches the western Caribbean Sea. This system is expected to
bring locally heavy rains and gusty winds to portions of the Lesser
Antilles, Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico today. Shower and
thunderstorm activity should spread westward across the eastern
Caribbean Sea and Hispaniola by tonight and on Monday. Interests in
these areas should monitor the progress of this disturbance.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...40 percent
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...70 percent

For Punta Cana references or the hurricane free streak in the Gulf of Mexico? The Gulf streak is up to 1,049 days without a hurricane with the old record being 1,047 days set back b/w 1929 - 1932.

Yea, not expecting much to happen until it slows down in a day or so but it does look good on sat this morning:



There weren't really any signs of a surface circulation as it moved through the Islands and the low levels are still a bit out ahead of the mid-levels but not as exaggerated as we've seen with some of the sheared out systems of the past few seasons:

Lower level spin (850mb Vort)


Mid-level spin (500mb Vort)

If/when 97L slows down it should organize quickly.

I've been trying to find the original one. I was a lurker at the time I think but I remember watching it unfold. His genuine concern for punta cana.
