Tropical Hurricane Jose

Interesting! What a year if we could get a 3rd Cat 4 to make US landfall!
 
This planetary wave configuration with a large upper level ridge centered over south-central Canada, bridging with the western flank of the Azores-Bermuda high usually doesn't end well when there's a powerful TC lurking in the vicinity of the Bahamas...

Seems we've heard this before, to be honest I'm not going to be shocked it this is eventually a GOM threat, not suggesting it but nothing will surprise me as you mentioned GFS horrible with Atlantic ridge

Yeah that's definitely possible. If the ridge is any stronger than currently modeled, Jose is likely going to hit something even if it's just the Bahamas and not the US
 
Speaking of GFS, it continues to hit the NE when the setup on its runs are in the right position. I feel that if this happens, it's like we are visiting all the bad disaster scenarios in one year. We just had a Texas storm (Harvey) and we are about to get a Florida storm (Irma), so the East cost seems next?

IMG_0204.PNG 12z UKMET is essentially a Jeanne repeat with Jose heading west/west-northwest towards the Florida coast by day 6-7. (Sorry for the image being cut off on my phone rn)

The GFS kept hitting New England with Irma and we know how that worked out...
 
UKMET, one of the two best major models for the tropics, at least appears to be a big SE US threat from Jose. Its 144 hour position is in the southern Bahamas moving WNW and at 922 mb OMG!!!

That's very worrisome esp wrt the intensity of Jose. I remember the UKMET bringing Irma to about 940mb and I thought that was impressive. The intensity ceiling could be very high with Jose given its small size, it could take full advantage of its environment in a hurry if given an opportunity
