Just a reminder for this season on the guidelines set in place for the forum.
Your weather thoughts, perceptions, and forecasts are encouraged; you do not have to be a meteorologist to post your observations and predictions. However, remember that many folks come to GCWX for the latest weather information, especially when severe weather strikes. For this reason please base your thought and forecasts on data and provide this data whenever possible. Avoid presenting thoughts based on a “gut feeling” or what you wish would happen. This is especially crucial during hurricane season, when many visitors come to GCWX in an attempt to find information that is as accurate as possible so that they may use this information to make decisions for the well-being of themselves and their families.
So NO WISHCASTING
Now that we are in hurricane season, moderation will be higher due to the increased activity in the forum. Off-topic posts are prohibited and will be removed without warning.
Live reporting of weather observations is encouraged, but please be as accurate as possible without exaggeration.
Verify all road, school, business closings, etc. before posting.
When in disagreement, target the issue, not the person. Avoid statements that personalize the issue. I.e. no trolling, flaming, or personal attacks.
If you have an issue with a specific member, avoid verbal attacks against them even if in response to a perceived attack. Send a PM to a moderator or administrator and provide the name of the offending poster along with a sentence or two describing the issue. Allow us, please, the time to address the issue.
Use your best judgement when making a post, and remember that we will delete any post containing profanity, threats, or comments for which the poster was previously warned.
Excessive posts which are against these guidelines or otherwise deemed a nuisance by admins/moderators will result in a ban.
Thanks for joining us this season and for making this the premiere weather community for the Gulf Coast!

With the latest Euro run it has support from at least the GFS, Euro, and UKMET especially beyond day 4 as it heads westward. 00z GFS keeps it generally weak (maybe a depression), Euro has a moderate tropical storm entering the Eastern Caribbean at Day 10, UKMET has a moderate tropical storm east of the Caribbean at day 6.
