This look in the Bahamas is interesting... almost as if the model can’t decide where to form a low. The two low pressure centers next to each other seems strange.

Hasn't really consolidated the energy.. there's a small leading wave in the STJ that brings the LP out there.

You can see what's causing the problem...there is this stout little vort over the Bahama's that comes out of the gulf and develops a surface low, that's the 2nd low east of the low we are hoping for.  You can see on the first two images below this occurring.

 At hour 96 we finally see our low pop nice and tucked in close to FL, that's the 3rd image.  I have no idea why that rouge vort is there.  Would think at 96 with the SLP tucked in nicely with the h5 low it's showing it should have been more west.

Smart catch. If that is not there, low forms further NE where their is more baroclinicity.

No problem. I wish I had better news for you.

Your good.  Locally they were discussing the small threat of FR or sleet so I was trying to see how the cold and the precip was materializing compared to the models.

NWS Tallahassee seems to think there could be a chance for GA/FL/AL areas if this occurs far enough west or gets stronger than expected.

The main shortwave to watch for any precipitation is
Tuesday night into Wednesday morning. Right now with a very dry
airmass expected to be ahead of it and little moisture advection,
it looks like a dry system for the local area. However, the
atmosphere will likely be cold enough to support wintry precip
should the shortwave dig a little farther west or come in stronger
than expected, so it bears watching.

Good catch pack...Like you, looking at H5, I thought this was going to be a good run.  If it isn't one thing, it's another...LOL!
