It looks to be a pretty persistent SE to NW motion riding around a Florida ridge. Now in 7-8 days, that ridge will weaken quite a bit but there really isn't a big front coming to sweep it up. All about timing and exactly where the center forms.

You can tell storm fatigue is real. The lack of posts on this right now.

When would possible landfall be if this heads to SELA?

Looks like low end 1? I’m not the model guy so may be wrong.

Just tired, and its small modeled shape makes it *feel* more trivial -- not that it actually is.

Is it too early to consider strength?

Euro ensembles all pretty weak, but Euro has been underperforming strength, right?

GFS ensembles *mostly* in the TS/cat 1 range, to my tired eyes.

I have decided to not even look at the EURO much more this season.

So far nothing shows anything stronger than a Cat 1. North to Northeast Gulf Coast more than likely the path. But will there be a strong enough pull to swing her to the east? Or does she just move north and where does that happen?

GFS has been spot on with intensity as of late.

Those all mostly look to go east of Louisiana with many heading back to same area that definitely doesn’t need it

Only one thing to do if something else develops and threatens.... let it develop and threaten

It almost looks like the EURO ensembles are seeing two separate things here. GFS sort of the same thing.

The Bay of Campeche area is early on, then it sees the Caribbean to Gulf runner. There was also a noticeable uptick at 6Z for the EURO ensembles.

Tho 06z GFS shows two separate storms. First one is short lived in the BOC and the second one is small and fast and pretty strong into SELA-Mobile.

Im not sure what the Euro and Icon is showing. Kind of weird. Like maybe something tries to develop then get ripped apart maybe? They all take a pretty hard turn east.

Canadian is florida storm that gets stripped right at or before landfall with all its moisture getting ripped away sending a naked swirl sounth down the pennensila.

100 percent Zack. Storm fatigue. I usually go for a six mile walk every day. I have not been consistent with my daily routine over the last several weeks. Having all those hurricane snacks around are not kind.
