TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK

NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL

800 AM EDT SUN AUG 19 2012

FOR THE NORTH ATLANTIC...CARIBBEAN SEA AND THE GULF OF MEXICO...

THE NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER IS ISSUING ADVISORIES ON HURRICANE

GORDON...LOCATED OVER THE NORTHEASTERN ATLANTIC OCEAN ABOUT 340

MILES WEST-SOUTHWEST OF SAO MIGUEL ISLAND IN THE AZORES.

1. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ASSOCIATED WITH A TROPICAL WAVE LOCATED

ABOUT 800 MILES WEST OF THE CAPE VERDE ISLANDS HAVE CHANGED LITTLE

IN ORGANIZATION OVER THE PAST FEW HOURS. ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS

APPEAR CONDUCIVE FOR A TROPICAL DEPRESSION TO FORM DURING THE NEXT

DAY OR TWO...AND THIS SYSTEM HAS A HIGH CHANCE...60 PERCENT...OF

BECOMING A TROPICAL CYCLONE DURING THE NEXT 48 HOURS AS IT MOVES

WESTWARD AT 20 TO 25 MPH.

ELSEWHERE...TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION IS NOT EXPECTED DURING THE

NEXT 48 HOURS.

FORECASTER BRENNAN

Well, the odds are certainly in your favor.

Why do you think I make statements like I do? If they weren't in my favor, I wouldn't be saying the things I do. For example, most days around here are sunny or partly cloudy. Calling for that instead of rain is generally a good bet. Most storm lines fall apart before refiring over the sandhills and coastal plains. It's usually a safe call to bet against storms right in the Triangle, outside of abnormal scenarios.

See, Jon? Brilliance!

Widre has a point. A lot has to go just right (wrong) to get a storm into the Gulf or Southeast. Probability is on the side of fading it. Right now we might enjoy predicting the development and initial track. Does it follow that TUTT to the northwest or does the Bermuda High keep it south for now? I think the latter.

Far as the Southeast goes, it is a tough target believe it or not. Earlier this year a strong ridge suppressed into Mexico. Now we have nada ridge now which allows recurve at the western edge of the Bermuda High. Sure Southeast ridge is forecast to return a little next week. Well actually just not a trough - not sure I call that a ridge. Without a "just right ridge" storms tend to either stay south or recurve. Cheers!

RAH gives it a slight mention in this afternoon's AFD

THE PRIMARY

UNCERTAINTY W/REGARD TO THE EXTENDED FORECAST APPEARS TO REVOLVE

AROUND THE EVOLUTION OF A POTENTIAL TROPICAL SYSTEM LATE IN THE

EXTENDED PERIOD (EARLY NEXT WEEK). AT THIS POINT...EXPECT NEAR

NORMAL TEMPERATURES AND PRECIP CHANCES ON THU-FRI...FOLLOWED BY NEAR

NORMAL TEMPERATURES AND BELOW NORMAL PRECIP CHANCES OVER THE

WEEKEND. AS MENTIONED ABOVE...UNCERTAINTY INCREASES CONSIDERABLY BY

EARLY NEXT WEEK...AND AT THIS TIME WILL INDICATE CLIMATOLOGICAL

CONDITIONS ON MONDAY. -VINCENT

Just going to go ahead and say it and get it out of the way. As already said by a few staff members on the general discussion board, since this has the potential to effect the RNC, *no one* is to bring politics into this discussion..either in this thread or the banter thread. We are very strict about political stuff being posted on the weather side, so I'm just giving you a heads up it won't be tolerated.

With that out of the way, it sure would be nice to have a classic east GOM can/panhandle hit and up through the southeast path.
