Tropical 2019 Atlantic Hurricane Season & Model Discussion

Rule of thumb..if it’s not developed by the islands it will not in the graveyard of the eastern Caribbean. Will likely tone it down soon...
It wasn’t supposed to develop this early anyway. In any case since the wave is lifting northward across the Greater Antilles this week, that means the low level trade wind flow is weaker and so is the trade wind divergence.

If it does develop, is there really any concern of land impacts. Pattern seems to suggest a pretty easy recurve

It’ll probably recurve given the current pattern but we should still monitor it anyway just in case a different part of the wave axis (say the southern portion) develops over the eastern gulf or Cuba instead of the Bahamas for ex.

1. A persistent area of cloudiness and thunderstorms located over the
eastern Caribbean Sea is associated with a tropical wave. This
disturbance is expected to move west-northwestward to northwestward
across the north-central Caribbean Sea during the next few days,
producing locally heavy rainfall and possibly some flooding across
Puerto Rico and Hispaniola. Little development of the disturbance is
expected due to interaction with land. However, the system is
forecast to emerge over the Straits of Florida by the end of the
week where environmental conditions could be a little more conducive
for development to occur.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...low...20 percent.
 
Here we go again...

2. A tropical wave accompanied by a broad low pressure system is
producing a large area of cloudiness and disorganized shower
activity over the far eastern tropical Atlantic a few hundred miles
southeast of Cabo Verde. Upper-level winds are expected to be
unfavorable for any significant development of this disturbance
during the next few days. However, environmental conditions are
forecast to become a little more conducive for development over the
weekend.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...low...20 percent.

:mad:
It's below the most hostile environment at present ... :mad::confused::(:mad::mad::mad::mad:

Damn tropics is waking up, CCKW definitely helping to get things going, it’s that time of year again, and idk if y’all notice this, but during a tropical storm/cane, even when the wind is calmer, the rain looks and feels different, smaller drops but a lot of them and constant, maybe from strong winds aloft and very high freezing levels ?

Looks like this may be one to keep an eye on. Last few runs of the EURO have had this system developing toward the end of the run which should be taken with a grain of salt until we get closer since we all know how fast things can change but it is intriguing nonetheless. EURO looks to be curving it OTS at the end at least though.D82FCB78-084A-4B27-B1EE-1BA98AA9540D.gif
 
Likely to make it much further west if it’s that far out in the extended showing a recurve there. Going to be a big wave maker with rip currents.

Probably be some shark bite deaths, but none from rip currents, with that track

This becomes a recurving weak Bahama Mama day 10 on the 12Z GFS fwiw. Way too close for comfort for the SE US at this still far point in the forecast, especially considering general E US troughing bias.

Completely agree and IF this develops will need to be watched closely... how many times over the last several years have we seen re-curves in the long range con't to shift west, west, west, heck some even ended up in the GOM. It's as real as the winter NW trend

NHC doesn't seem too impressed with anything developing, though. Well, at this moment at least.
 
Well bad news/good news with the Euro.... bad news it still develops that wave but the good news is it's also further east this run and ots

Long ways to go though, let's see if it even develops first.... Euro has some changes at D10 including a cutoff in the SE, those details will no doubt change and will effect the track if there is anything to track

Yeah, seeing if anything even develops is the part we need to worry about first. We know how much the track can change from day to day.

Large-scale pattern is very solidly in favor of OTS if this goes north of the Greater Antilles, westerlies are deeper & further south, and w/ a big trough over the E US, the only way this would be a threat is a) the pattern has to change b) said system has to become tangled up w/ Hispaniola & Cuba (potentially weakening &/or pin-balling the wave axis further w) or c) it's so close to land when it begins to recurve that significant sensible impacts occur regardless. The basin-scale steering pattern to watch out for is one w/ a big ridge over New England, the Great Lakes, &/or SE Canada, we essentially have the exact opposite being forecast in week 2.
