I get trolling and always enjoy a good one. However, this is pretty tasteless given that as many as 20 people may have been killed yesterday during the flooding on Dominica. That is one of the poorest islands in that area and countless people lost everything they had.

IF it does take that track, Miami would be in the worst of it. A direct hit would, believe it or not, be the best thing for Miami since the center is so weak. The strongest winds and worst rain is to the east of Erika.

I'm seriously thinking she continues westward for quite some time and curves north into the central Gulf. I'm not joking.

Of course, she would probably be extremely weak at that point.

Any models calling for this to dissipate? Given the shear and track over Hispanola it wouldn't surprise me

Yes

You would be correct. However, it looks like she may skirt the southern coast of Hispaniola and possibly hit Jamaica. That would hurt her and the environment in the Caribbean isn't very conducive either.

12Z GFS initializes it as an open wave and never closes it again. 00z ecmwf kind of hinted at that but reclosed it near appalachicola.

I wouldn't be surprised if we don't hear from Erika again after she gets to Hispaniola outside of rain and gusty winds from the remnants over Florida... but the wave has been surprisingly resilient despite all she's gone through so maybe it'll come back together over the Bahamas

Yea, I hear there is a tropical storm in the Indian Ocean that's suppose to go south and curve around Africa, head north through the Atlantic Ocean, make one trip around the world, and magically appear in the bahamas. From there it could go north, northwest, or west. It's not suppose to happen until a few years, but you should be prepared and start worrying now.

But keeps the remnants around all week with them drifting west just south of the Panhandle and starting to "strengthen" again...

Recon seems interested in the area around 17N 70W and now there is convection going up just east of there.

More of your dramatic thread title edits.

"Much more west"

This was like Danny "almost certain to end up in the Gulf as a tropical storm."
