93L is getting closer 70/90%.

Showers and thunderstorms associated with a low pressure area near

the Cabo Verde Islands have become better organized since yesterday.

Environmental conditions are conducive for development, and a

tropical depression is expected to form in 2 or 3 days over the

eastern Atlantic. The low is forecast to move generally

west-northwest at 15 to 20 mph over the tropical Atlantic during the

next several days. Heavy rain is possible over portions of the Cabo

Verde Islands through Wednesday.

* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...70 percent.

* Formation chance through 5 days...high...90 percent.

If that's in place by the time 93L gets there, no way it misses it. Still so so so far out though.

93L is close to being upgraded 80/90%.

A low pressure area located just west of the Cabo Verde Islands has

become better defined since yesterday. Any significant increase in

the associated thunderstorm activity would result in the formation

of a tropical depression within the next day or two. The low is

forecast to move generally west-northwestward at 15 to 20 mph over

the tropical Atlantic during the next several days. Heavy rain is

possible over portions of the northwestern Cabo Verde Islands

through tonight.

* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...80 percent.

* Formation chance through 5 days...high...90 percent.

Canadian also picking up on it nicely and in agreement with the EURO. Both, however, show a deep trough dipping into the lower 48 which should pick it up along the east coast. BUT...we're a ways away so if that trough isn't there in future runs, it's game time.

That's not me, that's the GFS

The Euro has been trending more west with each run, but has also been showing a very deep trough that would pick it up. However if there's no trough, game is on. Then again, if there is a trough and it gets to the gulf, the north gulf coast is open for business.

Earlier GFS runs quickly organized and strengthened 93L in the short term which made it feel a weakness in the Bermuda ridge. This run keeps it weak until it's north of the Antilles and then it begins organizing.
