BECOME A LITTLE MORE ORGANIZED TODAY...STRONG UPPER-LEVEL WINDS ARE
EXPECTED TO LIMIT ANY ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT AS THIS DISTURBANCE

The early tracks and intensity guidance are not too keen on development...

The overnight GFS suggests an area of low pressure develops from 92L in about 8-10 days in the Western Caribbean. The longer range GFS is also suggesting a weak tropical disturbance heading WNW across the Western Gulf and approaching the NE Coast of Mexico/South Texas Coastline in about 12-13 days. The Euro suggests no real development as it crosses the wind sheared Caribbean.

If 92l goes into NMX or STX, I will be so upset. They have gotten several disturbances over the past few years and left us in northern Tx high and dry. We need that rain whether its a tropical storm or not.

I don't think the GFS is developing 92L in the west Caribbean. It takes the main vorticity north of the Caribbean and toward the SE U.S. Coast by Tuesday then northward.
