Captain Hook:

I have been watching that system off the Southern Yucatan for several days. NOAA/NHC keeps adjusting their guidance from little chance of development to marginally favorable for development.

I used to think the Gods were angered at South Florida. I am beginning to think you guys in LA and especially NOLA, did something really really bad. :( :( :( Atone ye for ye sins :!: :!:

I hope this system peters out soon. Enough is enough.

Captain Hook and all still in danger from the effects of Ida, BE SAFE; STAY SAFE
Fair winds,

Roberto

GFS shows the system in the gulf heading into Mexico. They have been pretty accurate so far with the other storms.

The Euro (ECMWF) shows nothing so far, but the GFS shows a Hurricane by 9/13. The GFS seems to be bullish on the tropical systems.

I use https://www.windy.com to check the models.
