Tropical Major Hurricane Laura

It's gonna be a long week and a half
Might be longer than that. We will be extremely lucky to get through the next 2 weeks without a US hit. I guess we can hope that any systems remain on the weak side. Things have been a mess out there so far this season...maybe that trend will continue. But I'm going with a 75% chance of a major making US landfall over the next 3 weeks...maybe multiple. Favoring the Gulf right now.
 
Need a lot of cold fronts, to help kick everything East, it’s that time of year we are getting them now to help save us. I worry about the gulf tho, anything in western Caribbean will explode and have no way out
 
Laura?

Satellite images indicate that a broad area of low pressure located
about 700 miles west-southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands has become
better organized since yesterday, with increasing banding features
near the center. Environmental conditions are conducive for further
development, and a tropical depression is likely to form within a
couple days while the system moves westward to west-northwestward
at 15 to 20 mph across the central and western portions of the
tropical Atlantic.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...60 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...90 percent.

Nice video by Levi about 98L




Thinking this is going to get better understood in the next 48 hours, once an area of known defined circulation forms and especially when a storm is formed.

Right now, models have no clue.
