Will be interesting to watch 91L evolve over the next days.

06Z...perhaps a major Hurricane brewing...

It certainly seems we will have a very interesting storm to track over the next few days

think this one is goin fishin?

Medium/long range guidance does suggest the ridge will remain in control and a strengthening Bermuda ridge as well. We saw with 90L that track/intensity in the early stages of an invest are difficult at best to verify. Once TC genesis occurs, I suspect we'll get a better idea how this feature plays out, if it develops. For now, just something to be aware of unless you are in the Islands.

The 12Z GFS suggests TC genesis near the 48 hour mark and that model does suggest a more Central Islands threat for now...

RECON has been tasked for 91L along with a high altitude G-IV mission...

The Euro is rather unimpressed with 91L and does open the door for a weaker disturbance heading into the Eastern Caribbean tracking W/WNW...we shall see...

1. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE BECOME MORE CONCENTRATED IN
ASSOCIATION WITH A LARGE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM LOCATED ABOUT 1000
MILES EAST OF THE WINDWARD ISLANDS. SURFACE PRESSURES ARE VERY LOW
IN THE AREA...AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS APPEAR FAVORABLE FOR A
TROPICAL DEPRESSION TO FORM OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. THIS
SYSTEM HAS A HIGH CHANCE...70 PERCENT...OF BECOMING A TROPICAL
CYCLONE DURING THE NEXT 48 HOURS AS IT MOVES WEST-NORTHWESTWARD AT
15 TO 20 MPH.

Looking at HI RES visible imagery, the vort near 15N/45W appears to be the dominant feature. It does look like a mid level spin is developing and outflow is becoming a bit better established. The disturbance is moving rather quickly, but should begin to slow as it nears the Central Caribbean Islands. Hopefully future MW data will verify that area and if it does, I could see the NHC begin to ramp up their interest with the Islands being near that 72 hour point were advisories could be needed. We all remember Tomas last year...

I'm such a hurricane junky I'm ready for the next one

A busy RECON schedule is being tacked for 91L...

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ASSOCIATED WITH A LARGE LOW PRESSURE

91L already looks like a TD and is on the way to a TS. The rotation is impressive and this thing is huge! Luckily as of now this storm looks to re-curve before the U.S. but unfortunately the islands ahead look to be in bulls-eye. Should be interesting to see what NHC does at the next update.

A nice discussion this afternoon from NWS Key West. The same can be said for those of us along the NW Gulf Coast as well:

ATTENTION WILL BE TURNING TO A DEVELOPING TROPICAL WAVE AND EMBEDDED
LOW PRESSURE CENTER LOCATED ABOUT 900 MILES TO THE EAST OF THE LESSER
ANTILLES. THIS LOW PRESSURE CENTER IS CURRENTLY LOCATED MORE THAN
2300 MILES TO THE EAST-SOUTHEAST OF THE FLORIDA KEYS. MOST OF THE
RELIABLE GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THAT THIS TROPICAL DISTURBANCE WILL
CONTINUE TO ORGANIZE..AND THE NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER HAS ASSIGNED
AN 80% CHANCE FOR FURTHER DEVELOPMENT DURING THE NEXT 48 HOURS.
MOST OF THE GUIDANCE BRINGS THIS SYSTEM NEAR OR OVER PUERTO RICO BY
MIDWEEK. THERE IS TOO MUCH UNCERTAINTY IN THE UPPER AIR PATTERN OVER
THE WESTERN ATLANTIC TOWARDS THE END OF NEXT WEEK TO DETERMINE IF
THERE IS ANY THREAT TO THE UNITED STATES NEXT WEEKEND. THIS
IMPRESSIVE TROPICAL DISTURBANCE SHOULD SIGNAL THAT NOW IS THE TIME TO
COMPLETE PREPARATIONS FOR THE UPCOMING PEAK MONTHS OF THE 2011
HURRICANE SEASON.

I think 91L is already Tropical Depression 5 or even Emily.
