NWS is getting increasingly bullish on the rainy mess in the southwest Gulf of **Mexico**. Which may well become Isaias here in a couple days. This weather professional and blogger has an interesting analysis. It’s a long article, but no fluff or sensation anywhere. > **[Odds Increase for Gulf Development this Week](https://michaelrlowry.substack.com/p/odds-increase-for-gulf-development)** > > Forecast models turn more bullish on development over the southwestern Gulf but disagree on just how organized it’ll get What’s eyepopping to me is the map of GoM surface warmth partway down the article. Substantially the entre GoM & Florida Strait is at record warm temps. Net of a small hole of normal temps near the center of the Gulf. Probably more of a prodigious rainmaker than wind threat, but never say never. Minor aside: If it does become a named TS or better, I am anticipating all sorts of fun as various American newscasters try to pronounce that name per the NWS’s long-published guidance. Semi-related aside: I remembered that we had another storm Isiaias and corresponding thread awhile ago. Yep, 6 years ago. Since there are six annual hurricane name lists, it makes sense they’d repeat every 6 years. 🙃.
