TD1 is quite large. Reminds me of Tropical Storm Frances in 1998. That was a large storm right there! Also, it looked like a monsoonal low.

NHC track is in the middle of the road between the most likely track (NE Mexico) and a slight chance (northern Gulf coast). So it's guaranteed to be wrong. We went well west of NHC track and a lot faster, taking it inland about 100 miles south of Brownsville Wednesday afternoon (at 120hrs). May have to shift that farther south with time, maybe closer to Tampico. Building ridge along the Gulf Coast should turn it westward. Trof well to the north looks too weak to pick it up.

Except for the EURO the GFS has been talking monster FROPA all the way to mid- FL....but it is June so I will stick to the EURO for now unless I see a change tonight....

that main plume is weakening now. the best convection is clearly concentrated to the northeast with a few smaller towers springing up around the old "core's" fringes.

Perhaps this is what wxman57 was referring to when he said to pay attention to what was following this system?

It is possible that the center is reforming more to the North-East.

It does not look like Tropical Depression 1 is moving northwest or even west-northwest at all.

I'm not even going to attempt to decipher the 0z GFS, except it gives us a lot of rain next week after Alex dives into a Mexico and some kind of vorticity is left over in the Gulf that heads towards the Upper Texas Coast.
