Well looks like NHC will start advisories at 4pm.
A vigorous tropical wave located over the central Caribbean Sea continues to produce organized cloudiness and thunderstorms, and a tropical depression appears to be forming. If this recent development trend continues, then advisories will likely be initiated on this disturbance this afternoon or evening while the system moves generally westward at about 15 mph toward the western Caribbean Sea. Interests in Jamaica, Honduras, and Nicaragua should monitor the progress of this system. Regardless of development, this disturbance is expected to produce heavy rainfall across portions of Jamaica and southern Hispaniola through the weekend.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...near 100 percent. * Formation chance through 5 days...high...near 100 percent.

If anyone wants to know if Louisiana is safe, just go back and read the first page on the Zeta thread..
I was thinking that I had remembered some doubters as well. I went back and read the first page of the Zeta topic. It’s kind of eerie in the light of the destruction and loss of lifea caused in LA, MS, and AL (areas that initially may have blew off Zeta in its early stages).
As far as this storm is concerned, I may say that chances are not high it’s coming this way based on forecast models, but I won’t dare say flat-out that “we don’t have to worry about it”. It definitely bears watching.

In this, the GFS 06z Episode, of Dateline 2020, we have the suspect named ETA, that is accused of stalking the gulf coast, ignoring cold fronts that attempt to whisk it away.
