Possible “Medicane” to Hit Greece Later This Week
Thank you for your work.
Have never heard the term Medicane before!
Thanks. Stay high and dry. Avoid large trees with ground saturation.
I so stole that!
Where are you?

in Illinois :(
That medicane may be more truly tropical then usual
Oh--thought you were lounging on a sun bleached beach in the Greek Isles. I was fixing to be way jealous!
Thanks! Wow—Medicane develops a well defined eye an everything. Live and learn.

GFS has a part the new gulf disturbance near New Orleans
however, I think that is a “convective feed back” low and the true low will be more SSW..so likely disregard
Also It is more west and slower with Teddy but still turns it well east..but I am not liking that blocking high setting up to the north..if it misses the trough then it will miss the ride NE
Plus the African wave train, or Cape Verde season, continues even to OCT 1st..it should be on it’s way down starting now (peaks in late August/ early seot..but it is 2020
and we still have the Oct Caribbean sea development part of the season too
Red now (70% or greater for Gulf low)
