Crazy how Jerry intensified with so much shear and dry air around it. Imagine what it could’ve been without these limiters. Yikes…. It still has a lot of shear ahead of it, so I’m assuming that’s why they don’t predict J becoming a major down the line. It’s still expected to take that curve this weekend out to sea. Another bullet dodged??
Our two yellow blobs are not impressing the models, so their five day development chances remain low. However, we should watch closely if they drift into the Caribbean, IMO.
And finally we have our red landing pad for the wave I’ve been mentioning coming off the African coast next week. Models love this wave and develop it quickly. The silver lining currently is that Jerry should help pull it north. “Should”.
Lots to watch.
