Tropical Depression Forming?
This afternoon's satellite loops are beginning to show a swirl of clouds, not where NHC is giving a 60% chance for development, but farther back to the NE. The infrared views indicate a burst of colder cloud tops so we may be seeing a T.D. starting to form? This system is 250 miles east of Barbados moving to the NW. Most computer models have flip-flopped on where a future storm may go now turning whatever develops east of Miami and up the east coast. That would mean we would have no issues in the Gulf. As I have preached before, until we have a defined center, an initialization point that the models can follow, we should not read too much into the "spaghetti tracks". The forecast error at 3 days from landfall is nearly 150 miles, over 200 miles at 5 days out. IF this system came straight to us (HIGHLY UNLIKELY), it still is 7 days away. Again, let's monitor and hope the threat up the east coast continues.

Hey Bob...living in terrebonne I am no wishcaster by any means so here is my thought. If the trough lifts and the high builds in wouldn't that be a set up similar to Andrew? I just never have a good feeling when these storms spin up that far south of the islands
