Good morning! Still a very small signal for a potential system at the end of November/early December in the western Caribbean. GFS has been consistent but it may be consistently wrong as usual.

It's been a while but here are the 12z ensembles for potential late season activity in the western Caribbean. Low probability but Google showing the chance gives a little more credibility.

FYI if you have Jamaica vacation plans the next 3 months - a number of Hyatt properties have cancelled reservations through January 2026 due to storm damage from Melissa.

The NHC has just issued its last advisory on Hurricane Melissa as it is now a post-tropical cyclone. Safe to say we won't see the name return in 2031.

Unsurprising to see Google Deep Mind (GDMI) leading the way this season on track. It’s been on fire. AVNI is the GFS and doing the worst after 72 hours.
