"My latest changes in the website were more "under the hood" - I revamped the tracking algorithm to better capture tropical waves before they become tropical cyclones which is applied to both AIFS and ICON ensembles"

"While it's too far out to narrow down where 98L is likely to slow down or stall in the Caribbean should it occur near land major flooding would be a concern to monitor. Steering currents look to be quite weak in the Caribbean in the day 5-10 time frame & possibly beyond"
