Let the looooong nights begin and the nail biting model watching commence....

Haha you hit the nail on the head right there!!

The NHC has issued a 20% chance of tropical development in the Bay of Campeche for day 5.

[Scott747]

Things are moving along fairly quickly. NHC has highlighted the area in the BoC where the remnants of Amanda may slowly redevelop during the beginning of the week.

Operational models are weak bit the
ensembles have some strong signals.

[srainhoutx]

The NHC has raised the chances for tropical development to 40% the next 2 days and 50% over the next 5 days in the Bay of Campeche. The Western Gulf is beginning to look rather unsettled.

So it looks to curl back toward Mexico and stay way down south.

The morning Weather Prediction Center surface chart for day 7 suggests a weak surface low may be entering the NW Gulf. There is a lot of uncertainty regarding the potential track or strength of the area of disturbed weather associated with the Central America Monsoonal Gyre. Right now we monitor, but I suspect the real immediate issue will be the possibility of heavy rainfall somewhere along the Texas and Louisiana Coast.

12z GFS has a landfall near San Luis Pass as a 993 mb storm. Probably a strong tropical storm. From there it moves straight north pretty slowly.

[tireman4]

As I stated before, things are everchanging. Stay weather aware

[Rip76]

The last few years what I’ve noticed is that a lot of the BOC storms, turn West and get buried into Mexico. I’m sure due to The climatology in early June.

Yes and it looks like the same is going to happen to tropical storm Amanda. What we need to watch for the gulf coast is not necessarily Amanda itself, but a separate low that forms from the overall gyre associated with Amanda, that's what the EURO and GFS are showing developing. So we could end up with 2 systems in the gulf next week, one being Amanda which looks to redevelop in the BOC and move inland into Mexico,and a separate system that develops from the gyre circulation. 12z Euro ensembles have shifted more towards the west fwiw,let the flip flopping begin...lol.

[Rip76]

Euro?

[Pas_Bon]

So let me get this straight. 3rd storm would set a record for formation this early.... We have TD Amanda, whom will likely spend a brief stint in Mexico, transition gender to become TS/H Cristobal, then potentially make landfall on the US. Very fitting for 2020.

Where is the CTRL-ALT-DEL for 2020 again?

[djmike]

What level are we on for jumanji? Im getting tired of this game. 2 systems in the gulf? Sounds about right for 2020.

[don]

Rainfall rates are pretty high with these storms today its raining cats and dogs outside right now.

[Cpv17]

Euro?

Today’s 12z operational Euro run had it hitting around Matagorda as a tropical storm.

18z GFS has a landfall somewhere near Rockport it looks like. Then it meanders around slowly.

[srainhoutx]

Tropical Forecaster Bevin ups chances for a new Tropical Depression to possibly form in the Bay of Campeche to 50% within 2 days and 60% chance within 5 days. Looks like chances for Cristobal are increasing.
