Looks like another named storm in the works in the Caribbean

Yes Sir! I called for one more named storm then I believe the Atlantic basin should be largely over.

Les you called that one and what a end to the Hurricane season. Still not a believer that its a tropical system once it hits the mainland but it does help over the next 10 days or so to build the southeast ridge and this hopefully will keep that area dry for that time period. The next item is once this system is off the map this should allow colder air to move further south and I believe models are trying to see this though we know if the system gets stronger over the next few days the models will tend to back off on the cold but will return once the models figure out the path.

I don't see the tropical system impacting the CONUS yet, but I do see one final one developing in the Caribbean. If I lived in FL, I'd have to keep one eye open on it, but otherwise, it might remain a fish storm hopefully for the country's sake.

The above image is now at a 30% chance in the next 2 or 3 days. A 70% chance in the next 5-7 days for development.

[tron777]

A high chance of development now for the Caribbean wave. We should see a depression soon.

Not looking good for Fl. Hope it goes further into the Yucatán before it turns. If not, a cat one ,two or low end 3 is on the table for Fl

It is does hit FL as a cane, it could break a record for the latest landfalling hurricane to ever hit FL. Hurricane Kate is the latest ever as it hit FL on November 22, 1985.

This system has a better shot of hitting the mainland than the last few which were never close. Why is this different and one reason is a high pressure that may be moving across the northern gom and then moving eastward and also weakening. If this high is stronger and a tad further south then heading to the Yucatan is more likely. Sheer and tropical systems are not a fan and though at first very little so that is why it can become a tropical system in the first place but as we move forward say over the weekend we need to watch for more sheer that may get involved.

So I am still on the low end of this system hitting the mainland USA but tropical moisture involved is most likely to head into parts of Florida. At this point I have about a 10-20 p/c chance of it hitting the mainland USA which is much more than the less than 1p/c I saw on the last couple of storms down there. Sort of like winter storms for us and everything must fall in line for this to happen and though we still have some really warm ocean waters south of Cuba its not quite as warm in the GOM though still some pockets but not like it was say a month ago.
