[QUOTE="KPRC2, post: 68810, member: 148"] For a week now, we’ve been watching the potential of a Caribbean cloud or two to develop into a monster Gulf hurricane--one that by the American model threatened anywhere from Destin, Florida to New Orleans to Houston to Corpus and, as of Friday and the weekend, Mexico. Here is the Friday forecast with that big storm moving in just south of Brownsville over Labor Day weekend: [IMG alt="courtesy tropicaltidbits.com"]https://www.click2houston.com/resizer/-iiUg54rbzdr3QxrFkAO7UB8tT8=/cloudfront-us-east-1.images.arcpublishing.com/gmg/5HMISERPGVCDRAVFLUKOMTNF5I.JPG[/IMG] However, nothing ever really formed in the Caribbean and the longer we watched it the more nothing got going. I’ve talked about modelcanes before [URL='https://www.click2houston.com/weather/2022/05/16/introducing-the-modelcane/']right here[/URL] and that seems to be what we had here--although modelcanes are a LOT more concerning in the height of hurricane season than in early June! The likelihood of one of these storms actually forming in August or September is much greater due to lower wind shear and higher water temperatures! Today’s American model has the Gulf of Mexico modelcane completely gone, although you’ll notice a strong Pacific storm and one in the middle of the Atlantic: [IMG alt="No Gulf hurricane.
