Tropical Major Hurricane Laura

An area of low pressure located about 1300 miles east of the
Lesser Antilles is producing a concentrated area of showers and
thunderstorms. Environmental conditions are conducive for
development, and a tropical depression is expected to form within
the next couple of days while the system moves west-northwestward
at 15 to 20 mph across the central and western portions of the
tropical Atlantic. Interests in the Lesser Antilles should monitor
the progres of this system.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...80 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...90 percent.

Thoughts on why Euro isn't developing it?

Well, the model is smarter than us and is the King. So, I'm hoping like Hades it is on the right track. Keep in mind that the GFS is also weak. The HWRF being strong is no surprise as it has that kind of bias.
The Euro isn't weak due to shear, dry air (dewpoints are 76+), or cool SSTs though there's land interaction later.
What I'd give for this to end up a bunch of nothing!

I'm with ya.....reading other commentary, many are going hmmmmm.
 
I'm baffled as to why the globals are so meh

Like I get being hopeful but for me it doesn't make much sense realistically
Agree. But like I said yesterday, so far everything has been kind of a mess this year. You'd think we'd see a more robust system. I think we will, especially, if we're not seeing dry air, shear, or cool water. Wonder how instability looks down that way?
