Very interesting since it's been so consistent in development. I sure hope I can get to the bottom of Josh's Kestrel problem before another chase comes up.

What is becoming rather clear is that we will see the genesis of a large storm in the NW Caribbean in the next 6-10 days. Where this cyclone ends up is pure speculation at this point. The worrisome point is that area of the NW Caribbean has a history of spawning some Hurricane names that will not soon be forgotten. We will see what the other guidance offers today.

I've been thinking about that as well, Cory. Contruction of some sort of 'shield' without affecting the readings and performance of the Kestrel is certainly a challenge.

My model is doing similar to what the CMC was doing before changing its mind today. This is 12Z Sep 25th and it's paralleling Cuba at the time.

Is there anything preventing this storm from heading our way on the upper TX coast?

What would that mean for the track in the GOM?

I only ran it out to 144 hours, but at the time it was on a track straight for the Gulf. I'm rerunning it out to 180 now just out of curiosity.

Ok. I'm curious if Texas is possibly at target.

Bring on cooler weather. Hopefully our weather pattern will follow history rather than current model forecasts and we will get our first cold front in time to drive tropical activity away from our area.

Looks like it's doing the same as GFS; in this last frame at 180 hours (27/00Z) it just starts headed WNW as if it's going to make a northwest/north turn afterward. Central pressure 969 mb, by the way--a bit hard to read on that graphic.

Here are the resolutions of the Euro from Allan Huffman's site at 850mb and 500mb...

Interesting that the KWRF is also suggesting a powerful system. Worth watching and thanks Met Tech for those graphics. Looks like an interesting week as the NHC has now mentioned PGI46L or the general location in the latest Tropical Weather Discussion as a surface trough...

A SURFACE TROUGH IS OFF THE COAST OF SOUTH AMERICA ALONG 13N48W
4N52W. WIDELY SCATTERED MODERATE CONVECTION IS FROM 10N-14N
BETWEEN 48W-54W.

I think we aren't out of the woods on the upper TX coast. But I could be wrong.

Still very early and we know things change quickly. To use a phrase that has been tossed around before, Tampico to Bermuda would be in the 'cone' today IMO.
