The GFS has been consistent of forming this disturbed area into Cristobal and re-curving the storm away from the US. The GFS did a wonderful job with Bertha so I would say for right now the US may be safe but there is a lot of time to wait and see. I am going to Orlando this Fri, so I will really be keeping an eye on this one. lol

I've been watching this area over the past couple of days and I like the chances of this one. Plenty of convection embedded into the ITCZ with the SHIPS model forecasting low shear in the impeding environment. The models have been showing development in this are with consistency from run to run, however the location is now further south then what the GFS has been depicting.
TWO 8:00AM:
AN AREA OF DISTURBED WEATHER HAS FORMED OVER THE TROPICAL ATLANTIC
ABOUT 1600 MILES EAST OF THE SOUTHERN WINDWARD ISLANDS. CONDITIONS
APPEAR FAVORABLE FOR ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF THIS SYSTEM DURING
THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS.
Edit: 48 hour potential tropical formation chart now shows a medium chance of development for this area (i.e. 20-50%)

meh, i saw the post about the models predictinng a storm, but at the moment, it looks like a @$@$ sandwich. Plenty of time to watch.

From the 2 PM Discussion.
......SPECIAL FEATURE.....
STRONG TROPICAL WAVE IS ALONG 37W/38W S OF 17N MOVING W 10-15
KT. A 1009 MB LOW IS ANALYZED ALONG THE AXIS NEAR 9N. VISIBLE
SATELLITE IMAGES SHOWS A LARGE WELL DEFINED ENVELOPE OF CYCLONIC
TURNING...FOCUSED NEAR THE LOW CENTER. SHIP TBWUK18 REPORTED 27
KT S WINDS SE OF THE LOW CENTER AT 12Z...UNFORTUNATELY BOTH
ASCAT AND QSCAT MISSED THE REGION. A LARGE AREA OF SCATTERED
MODERATE AND EMBEDDED ISOLATED STRONG CONVECTION IS WITHIN 240
NM W AND 60 NM E SEMICIRCLES. SIMILAR CONVECTION IS LOCATED
WITHIN THE INTERSECTION OF THE ITCZ FROM 4N-8N BETWEEN 36W-44W.
THIS SYSTEM HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BECOMING A TROPICAL DEPRESSION
DURING THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS.

GFDL is showing a cat 2 hurricane just north of the islands. Although I think it will be more to the south heading into the eastern caribbean.:gun1:
