looks like it decided to get its act together just in time for it to landfall on hispaniola and get shredded

Is there any chance this thing stays south of Cuba then swings up into the gulf?

Not really.

My models have it going to Miami, then fizzling in the Atlantic.

I'm not a meteorologist or anything, but I've been reading these threads for years and stayed at a holiday inn last night. I was banging your wife there.

I don't make predictions just a bit of mental gymnastics with the morning coffee.



The BAM models are all in at 18z

It's, whatever it is, still moving W. I bet they are throwing computers out the window at NHC by now!

The good thing about this storm as of now is that it will stay low grade tropical storm that will bring plenty needed rain to FLA...Even if it still goes more to the west...it seems there is a front moving in that will eventually move it more north.......... Not to be selfish but I wish it move even further west and give LA some needed rain, BUT at the same time that could mean a stronger storm that we don't want..............

Well, according to that map, it looks like an Atlantic resolution to this system (I doubt that is even the correct terminology but it sounds pretty cool) is all but out the door - unless things change again of course.

These storms still seem to have the capacity to baffle even the top experts. That's nature I suppose.

It seems to be picking up speed. The last advisory had it at 18 mph and this one says 21 mph.

Fwiw the Atlantic/ Bermuda high ridge is clearly building back toward the west. The water vapor sat loop shows that the front pushed as far east as central Florida. The ridge pushed it back today to the Fla/Ala line. If it keeps pushing west, it will block off. The east solution and open the door to a GOM central coast solution.

Big IF, if it makes it to the gulf as a TD or TS, are conditions favorable to strengthen next week. Could it jog and head north?

No, as of now, it looks like Erika could find no purchase in the Gulf. The Euro EPS has a pretty wide spread at D5, from south of New Orleans to the Outer Banks but all are weak.

Looks like a squall line tonight

Thankfully they still have this thing staying weak and/or dissipating. Cause they keep moving it this way.
