Tropical 2024 Tropical Thread Reboot

A surface low appears to be developing in the NW Gulf. If this were to turn into a TD+, the ICON will have nailed it very well since it has had numerous runs over the last week or so suggesting this. No other model has consistently shown this with most never showing a closed sfc low. Several UKMET runs also have shown this to a lesser extent.

It looks like the storm on the ICON comes from the carib disturbance

It appears to me to be a combination of energy from both as the NW Gulf low moves SSE toward the Bay of Campeche and meets up with the Caribbean disturbance moving WNW to the same area.

Meanwhile, here’s the new UKMET (12Z) regarding the NW Gulf:

Latest UKMET (12Z) now has TCG at hour 6, much sooner than the hour 60 of the 0Z run. It then drifts S through the weekend:

ATL is a mish-mosh of weak lows along the trof from the central ATL to Texas and the 2 weak waves.

GFS is weak and meandering ending up dissipating.

Regarding the NW GOM, the GFS has been far behind the curve. Before this run it had virtually nothing on every run. So, I’d take its weak solution with a huge grain and favor the ICON/UKMET.

GFS sure ends with a bang and says, "JB, I will make your revised forecast come true". Has a developing cane in the gom and a possible major south of Bermuda moving wnw at the end.

Here is 354

384 it is motoring WNW

Euro continues to show the wave now east of the islands beginning to develop east of FLA. Also shows the storm the GFS has SW of Bermuda

Invest up now for this

It is kind of amazing how it's still hanging around
 
For the first time like the GFS/CMC, the Euro (12Z) FINALLY has the current NW Gulf low (1011 mb now). It then drifts S (similarly to ICON/UK/others) while getting stronger. It doesn’t reach peak strength til Saturday, when it gets down to 1003 mb at 27N. Keep in mind that the Euro like the GFS/CMC is playing catch-up.

Rumor has it (i.e., unconfirmed) from an outside source is that this has just been designated Invest 90L. Although the ICON for days has been remarkable with this, I suspect that the 12Z Euro was the deciding factor (assuming this rumor is verified).

Edit: @Brent has confirmed this is in fact now Invest 90L.

I agree about ICON forecast in 7-10 day period.....
EURO AI caught on a day or so ago.
