You could tell pretty early that the 12z Euro would be OTS. All just noise at this point. No model is going to nail the strength of ridges/troughs and the placement of weaknesses at this range. 

Edouard redux

Past few runs of the GFS seems hellbent on getting this close to the east coast as a powerful cane. Definitely worth watching but we are still very far out for this to be a legitimate threat yet. What really gets my interest is the fact the GFS keeps showing it in a similar spot at a similar strength the past few runs. If that keeps happening then it's definitely something to keep a close eye on.

Do you think she will score a goal for North Carolina

If this (unlikely) track verified it would be the strongest hurricane for New England since Hurricane Carol in 1954 (71 years ago)

I’m a snowstorm fanatic by nature but if I can’t have one a cat 3 hurricane that threatens us would be a consolation prize.

ERINNNN, 97L

BAM BAM BAM

1. Eastern Tropical Atlantic (AL97):
A broad area of low pressure, associated with a tropical wave, is 
producing a large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms 
just off the west coast of Africa.  Environmental conditions appear 
conducive for gradual development of this system, and a tropical 
depression could form by the middle to latter portion of next week 
while moving west-northwestward at 15 to 20 mph across the eastern 
and central tropical Atlantic.  Locally heavy rainfall is possible 
Sunday and Monday across portions of the Cabo Verde Islands.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...medium...60 percent.

NC/SC target wouldn't be good for anyone. Especially after those in Western NC last year around this same time. Hope it just shoots up North.

True. Everything has to align perfectly for this to verify. I live in RI and Hurricane Bob was the last storm I remember. During Sandy I was living in SC so missed that. Other than an occasional snow storm weather here is pretty mundane

Also, shows a north Atlantic block that is noteworthy.

According to history this is the sweet spot for a NE hurricane with big blocking.

The 0Z UKMET for some reason doesn’t classify this as a TC. I’d like to see the WxBell or weather.us maps once they’re released to see why. From what I can tell on Pivotal, there still is a sfc low.

 The 0Z Euro goes near Bermuda.

I can’t even remember the last time a tropical wave looked this good so close to Africa
