But front/trophs do protect the SEConUS and eastern seaboard with regularity, which I see happening here. Storms recurve out to sea way more often than not, except of course the old 'home brews' that form in the gulf and western Caribbean. When those form they have a better chance of hitting land. The CV long trackers are re-directed out to sea routinely by fronts. So in my opinion its a good thing the pattern has changed just in time for the season to ramp up.

Shouldn't all the early cool fronts keep 90L from coming North?

Whats the timeline on it getting to our side of the globe if it makes it that far?


Probably a week give or take to reach the islands. Euro is weaker and faster while the GFS is stronger and slower. At this point, not too worried about 99L.

The opposite, the same mechanism that drives these fronts southward also creates a weakness that could allow a system to move northward. However, timing is key and we know little beyond that there is potential for a system to be in the SW Gulf in 5 or so days.

Check out the Monster Thunderstorm flare up over Niger/Nigeria in Africa. Its huge. Its width would stretch from Houston to Pensacola and cover all of Louisiana and Mississippi at least.

See that peak?



Some dumbass at my company decided it would be a great idea to host a national sales meeting (600+ people attending) in Fort Lauderdale starting Sept. 10th - 15th.

The same dumbass scheduled a meeting for 350+ to attend a meeting in New York back in March the week it was hit with a blizzard of 12+ inches of snow. Of course, it was cancelled.

Can't wait for the inevitable notice of cancellation.

GFS and Canadian really like 99L. Euro never really develops it but has 90L as a strong TS/Weak Cat 1 in W Gulf.

NHC has bumped 90L up to 40% and the 18z GEFS has more tracks than previous runs

Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
800 AM EDT Fri Aug 4 2017

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

1. A broad low pressure system, associated with a tropical wave, is
producing a large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms
several hundred miles south and southwest of the Cabo Verde
Islands. Environmental conditions are conducive for this system to
consolidate and develop during the next few days, and a tropical
depression is likely to form by early next week while moving
west-northwestward at about 15 mph across the tropical Atlantic
Ocean.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...50 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...80 percent.

2. A large area of cloudiness and thunderstorms located over the
central and eastern Caribbean Sea is associated with a tropical
wave. This disturbance is expected to move west-northwestward at
about 15 mph across the western Caribbean Sea and Bay of Campeche
through the middle of next week, where environmental conditions
appear conducive for development.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...20 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...medium...60 percent.

Cool, now they'll call up the National Guard a whole week in advance instead of a couple days over nothing.
