Starting a thread because this is an invest and could have longer term potential.

Originally, the signal for this tropical wave was quick development off the African coast before turning northwest in the open Atlantic. Development didn’t quite happen near the CV Islands, but under a sprawling Atlantic ridge the models now take this robust wave west where it may find a more favorable environment in the western Atlantic or Caribbean. It’s unusual to have this kind of wave in mid October but here we are. 
 

Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
200 PM EDT Sun Oct 13 2024

For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

1. Eastern Tropical Atlantic (AL94):
Shower and thunderstorm activity remains limited with a well-defined 
area of low pressure located several hundred miles west of the Cabo 
Verde Islands. This system is currently embedded in an unfavorable 
environment and development is not anticipated over the next couple 
of days. However, this system is forecast to move generally westward 
to west-southwestward, and environmental conditions could become 
more favorable for additional development by the mid to latter part 
of this week. A tropical depression could form as the system begins 
moving west-northwestward and approaches or moves near the Leeward 
Islands by the end of this week.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...medium...40 percent.

Going to be frost/freeze advisories mid week in North Carolina. It’s getting too late for this nonsense.

It’s very likely fish food this time of year. If one trough misses it, there’s probably multiple chances of one picking it up.

Islands need to watch but yeah, extremely difficult to have a CONUS CV this time of year.

What exactly is a CV? Cape Verde hurricane?

Yeah—Cabo Verde (formerly known as Cape Verde) system. It’s very late for these kind of long track systems, though technically nothing has developed yet.

It looks like a tropical depression to me. It’s been generating organized convection over a tight LLC overnight and into this morning 

I agree with NHC in that convection is not organized.  Looks to be puffing some convection which then fades away and then puffs another.

12Z UKMET: further S than prior runs moving WSW through E Cuba into the NW Caribbean. This is similar to the 12Z Icon and JMA hit on E Cuba moving SW/WSW, a climatological rarity. Cuba is one of the more favored land areas for a landfall this time of year but not in that manner:

Done, thanks. 94L is still plodding along but the model signal has cratered. With my peak season forecast period coming to a close in a few days I’m starting to get into non-tropical mode…

Serious question.  Why is this not named?  I don’t understand the NHCs policy with respect to naming tropical cyclones.  I mean I get that we don’t want to waste man power on useless advisories for a namewaster, but then let’s change the criteria

Just when everyone discards 94L to the compactor. That's an organizing mid-level vortex. A bit up in the mid-levels on the beam from San Juan, but it could be close to closing off at the surface. Shear is in the forecast, so I'm unsure how far a potential TC can intensify, but it does appear to be organizating in the short-term.

Is what it is bruh the NHC is DONE after Helene and Milton if land isn’t on the table lol.  And I get it, but this has been a slop TC for a minute

Although showers and thunderstorms located a couple of hundred miles north of the northern coast of the Dominican Republic
are still showing some signs of organization, recent satellite-derived wind data suggest that the system remains a surface trough without a closed circulation. Some gradual
development of this system is possible this weekend while it moves generally westward at 10 to 15 mph, passing near Hispaniola, the
Turks and Caicos Islands, the southeastern Bahamas, and extreme eastern Cuba. By early next week, further development is not
expected due to strong upper-level winds.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...30 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...30 percent.

In the first view visible frames this morning, there is clearly low-level westerly flow to the cloud field. Highly suggestive of a closed surface vortex near the mid-level vorticity. Could definitely use a recon flight soon.


1. Near the Southeastern Bahamas (AL94):
Showers and thunderstorms are becoming better organized with a small area of low pressure located less than a couple hundred miles north of the northern coast of the Dominican Republic. In addition, recently received passive microwave imagery also suggests that a well-defined surface circulation could be developing. If these
trends continue, a tropical depression or storm could form as soon as later today as the system moves generally westward at 10 to 15 mph. On this track, the system should pass north of Hispaniola today, and move near the Turks and Caicos Islands, the southeastern Bahamas, and extreme eastern Cuba on Sunday. Interests in these
locations should monitor the progress of this system.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...60 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...medium...60 percent.

Yea and this lat/longitude with no imminent recurve is a high probability for a US strike somewhere….

The current global guidance says otherwise but it’s not resolved properly at initialization; developing a Mid latitude cyclone; not a TC. So everything off in that regard based on disturbance’s current characteristics. 

The NHC rightly has this tracking west with the easterlies toward eastern Cuba.
