Tropical Invest 98L

We're actually very close to a surface low cutting off very soon. Very strong southerly surge feeding into the Eastern side of 98L, into the very prominent mid level spin. The western Edge of 98L is where the surface is strongly trying to cut off
 
1. 12Z UKMET (goes to 168) maps once again have the low stay in the S Car and go west into Nicaragua; low is a bit stronger with it down to 1003 at strongest, which should easily be strong enough to be a TD although the textual output doesn’t show that:

Will UK for 98L be a miserable fail, the big winner, or in between? Stay tuned!

2. 12Z JMA (goes to 192): has a cat 1 hurricane headed due west to just offshore the Nicaragua/Honduras border:

0Z runs: all major ops are out

-Icon cat 2 H W. Haiti

-CMC first moves W and then WNW/NW to Jamaica as a TS followed by SW and then abrupt turn to N and then NNE/NE over C Cuba/NC Bahamas as a cat 3 H followed by a turn back to the N with it ending on a heading toward Cape Cod as it gets caught on the E side of a strong trough/upper low

-GFS very consistently hits Hispaniola again (cat 2 H)

-Euro just W of Jamaica, EC Cuba to C Bahamas (MH)

-UKMET remains quite consistent with the track and this time the text has it as a TC through hour 156, after which it weakens on approach to the NE Nicaraguan coast. The direction of movement starts off mainly WNW (with the furthest N being only at 15.3N) followed by W and then WSW; strongest it gets is a minimal TS and lowest SLP 1004. At hour 156, the 0Z UKMET is a whopping 1,500 miles WSW of the 0Z GFS!
