I wouldn't be surprised if it's an invest by noon tomorrow.This wave at 35W might be the one to watch. I wouldn't be surprised to see the models pick up on it as it looks to be organizing while it pulls away from this weird east Atlantic Gyre/Blocky Pattern. In addition to the strong convection and vigorous mid-level spin, it does look like energy is coalescing around that area. It's breathing. https://www.tropicaltidbits.com/sat/satlooper.php?region=catl&product=ir
It looks like the Atlantic is starting to get interesting. I'm definitely staying up for the 00z suite tonight.

I do not like these north trends0z GFS has the massive Gulf hurricane backView attachment 120953
The euro appears much more interesting.It was one of those nights where I only slept for 4 hours, because I'm super-excited about tracking a storm. Our Tropical Wave in the Central Atlantic has made substantial improvements overnight. Although the system still looks stretched, vorticity has become more stacked and vigorous from 500Mb to 925Mb. Vorticity Map clearly shows the SW area of the system taking control. https://tropic.ssec.wisc.edu/real-time/windmain.php?&basin=atlantic&sat=wg8&prod=vor5&zoom=&time=
This systems has the potential to be a monster once it passes 40W. I'm not surprised the GFS and ECMWF, as well as increasing members of their ensembles, are both developing this system.

Yeah the gfs has been all over the place.The euro appears much more interesting.
They're paying attention that's for sureI have it saved in a folder. LOL. I bet the Puerto Rico NWS Office is already concerned about that scenario. The EURO has a few Irma scenarios, but the GFS thinks it will be more like Maria.
