The 12Z model suite is in and those models keep a broad area of low pressure meandering across the Western/Central Caribbean throughout the medium range.
HPC Final Update:
ACROSS THE WESTERN CARIBBEAN UNDER THE BASE OF THE WARM CORE
RIDGE...A BROAD CONVECTIVE LOW CURRENTLY JUST NORTH OF PANAMA IS
EXPECTED TO DRIFT NORTHWARD THROUGH THE PERIOD. A BULK OF THE
DETERMINISTIC GUIDANCE RETROGRADES AN UPPER LEVEL CYCLONE INTO THE
CENTRAL GULF OF MEXICO /UNLIKE THE 06Z AND 12Z GFS/ WHICH SHOULD
KEEP VERTICAL WIND SHEAR OVER THE LOW CONSTRAINED TO THE SHORT
RANGE PERIOD. THE 17Z COORDINATION CALL WITH NHC MAINTAINED
REASONABLE CONTINUITY WITH THIS FEATURE. AS IT IS EXPECTED TO BE
A LARGE SYSTEM...ANY DEVELOPMENT DURING THE MEDIUM RANGE PERIOD
SHOULD BE SLOW TO OCCUR.

Some interesting developments in the long range via the Euro and the GFS as mischief continues to show up on the la la land charts. The Euro suggests a disturbance nearing the Islands in the day 7-10 time frame while the GFS track a weak vort across the Caribbean that begins to develop around the 19-21, +/- a day or two. There are also suggestions the an MJO pulse will arrive near that time, so there may be something to the models sniffing out some development.

The 12Z GFS suggests a wave moving off Africa will track across the Atlantic and may well be what the Euro is sniffing. We will see what future runs offer...

The GFS and Euro continue to advertise a strong tropical wave traversing the Atlantic and approaching the hostile Caribbean next week. The Euro suggests the energy will cross the Caribbean, which is highly sheared this time of year toward Nicaragua. The long range la la land GFS suggests that an area of vorticity will lift NW and near the Yucatan near June 20th, +/- a couple of days, and enter the Gulf. We will see. One thing of note is the lack of Saharan dust we often see in June crossing the Atlantic. WV/TPW imagery clearly shows higher moisture content and suggests that we may see a bit sooner start to Cape Verde season, if that does not change in the days and weeks ahead and may well be a harbinger of things to come.
Edit to add there is a hint of upward motion suggested (albeit weak) on the 15 day MJO charts near the 16th...

A fairly strong tropical wave located in the Central Atlantic has gained some separation from the ITCZ. Upper winds look hostile for the next few days, but may relax a bit as the axis approaches the Windward Islands. MIMIC is showing this feature and the increased moisture spreading W bound. The lack of Saharan dust is still evident on WV/TPW imagery and the 06Z GFS is sniffing a bit of spin as well...

The models are beginning to converge on a solution that brings a rather robust tropical wave near the Windward Islands later this week. As this wave axis traverses the Caribbean, the Euro suggests a slow NW turn develops later in the period that nears the Yucatan and eventually in the Gulf. And of course the Canadian blows up a storm in the longer range...

A robust Kelvin wave will move into the Atlantic next week. While models are lack luster concerning any organized systems, there are some hints of tropical waves moving across the Caribbean. Just perhaps enough to trigger TC genesis in the Western Basin? We will see. Edit to add a fairly stout tropical wave will be approaching the Windward Islands later this week...

And nothing would be expected to develop within the Eastern/Central Caribbean this time of year. What would need to be watched is the Western Caribbean (Western Basin) as this area would be favored, climo wise.Ed Mahmoud wrote:I don't see anthing on that low resolution Euro display (highest grid resoltion of any global, lamest free display resolution) but the usual strong low level Easterlies that make the Central Caribbean hostile for development this early in the season.

I'm starting to think we may need to wait another month or more for any development. Maybe even late July. Wave train off of Africa is quite weak. I've heard talk of a Kelvin wave arriving after the 20th, and that it might help to enhance the wave train over Africa late this month. We'll see.
