Followup to above:
0Z UKMET has a similarly placed TD following Erin vs the 12Z run with a TD forming 200 miles E of Guadalupe:

NEW TROPICAL CYCLONE FORECAST TO DEVELOP AFTER 156 HOURS

Invest 98L up to 40% from 20%: recon in there now

Southwestern Gulf (AL98):
Shower and thunderstorm activity has increased in association with
an area of low pressure located over the Bay of Campeche. The low is
forecast to move west-northwestward across the southwestern Gulf
during the next day or so, where environmental conditions are
marginally conducive for further development. A tropical depression
could form before this system moves inland over northeastern Mexico
or southern Texas by late Friday ending its chances for tropical
development. Regardless of development, locally heavy rainfall is
possible along portions of northeastern Mexico and southern Texas
over the next few days. An Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter is en
route to investigate this system.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...40 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...medium...40 percent.
 
And it is a potent storm at that sitting over the Bahamas! If this happens, this will have plenty of people along the Southeast coast paying attention. This would also be the F storm on the name list. I'm not going to hold my breath waiting for this to happen for two reasons: 1. It is the GFS forecast model showing this. 2. This is more than ten days away.
