Special TWO

Updated: Data from an Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft
indicate that the circulation associated with an area of low
pressure located a couple of hundred miles east of the Leeward
Islands has become better defined today, and the plane reported that
surface pressures have fallen a bit. If the showers and
thunderstorms associated with the low persist through the evening,
the system could become a tropical depression as early as tonight.

The disturbance is expected to move slowly west-northwestward,
toward the adjacent waters of the northern Leeward Islands.
Regardless of development, locally heavy rains may occur over
portions of the Leeward Islands during the next couple of days, and
interests in that area should monitor the progress of the system.
Additional information on this system can be found in High Seas
Forecasts issued by the National Weather Service.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...70 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...70 percent.
 
out to sea on the 18z run
But it's shifting toward more of a Euro look. Although a weaker system than past runs, it's picking it up a full 2 days sooner then the Euro. I think still much to worked out as a center gets identified in the next 2 days.
 
All the models are showing the impact of the Tutt now with some stuttering or stopping of forward movement at about the same position as this screenshot of the Euro......Sept 8......6 days to go......A long way to go before nailing this down.

You can see the real divergence in solutions around 96 hours a stronger system by that point is likely to get drawn N to NE while a weak system would continue the general west motion or stall. Based on the way its organizing this evening you'd have to leave toward the right biased forecasts unless the wheels fall off
 
Earl is getting its act together fast. Closer to being a hurricane and forecast to become a major as it pulls north and east. Looks like Bermuda is going to get spared the worst at this time, but if that turn is slower watch out.
 
Interesting that a few gefs ensembles that lag earl behind the others later turn him west. Guess that's the last thing to watch in real time as he pulls out to the NE
