Every model predicted a weak storm in the short term.

Things to pay attention to:

Does it make it to the gulf? Conditions are prime for intensification.
How strong is the ridge and does it stay in place? I don't see anything breaking down the ridge quickly.

The key to survival is this thing staying weak until it makes it to the gulf.

Looking for something a little more technical than that.

Haha, I know. The GFS has not been as good over the last few years, and has lagged behind other models like the Euro and UKMET in terms of reliability. But heck, it may be right this time after all.

By no means is this system done with yet. There is still potential for changes.

GFS has been predicting a weak storm for a while now. Maybe it was right all along.


This would end up being a huge bust for the Euro. Now, the GFS has never been one to handle success and it will probably throw up a Cat 5 next run just to make sure no one actually starts taking it serous

Can you explain how conditions are ripe? Or, more specifically, what models shows conditions being ripe when this would get into the Gulf which would be in a 2-3 days I guess. Almost none of the models are seeing good conditions in the gulf.

The models have been flopping around a bit but the trend has been to a less favorable upper level pattern across the Gulf. There is a massive ULL drifting in from the east that is altering the upper level flow. If it hangs back some or takes a more SW track, then it might actually improve upper level flow across the Gulf. Still a good bit of uncertainty but the trends have certainly been to a weaker less organized system.

This thing likely will just fizzle out. Too many want it to be something dramatic.

I don't think anyone wants here (other than trolls) want it to be something dramatic. Those of us who are weather nerds don't hope it's some destructive, cat 5 storm, we just take interest in watching it.

This gif that you posted shows the best closed circulation of 99L yet due north of Hispaniola.

It's just outrunning the convection.
