The Orange Box "Monster"??

The convection is nearly as big as Bill was.  Which may mean slow but steady development.

I think we will have Erika, however, will she suffer from that which Bill and Danny will suffer from?  Trough-idis?

The conditions are ripe for another major hurricane out of Erika, and while no models are really picking this up yet, Danny is going to leave a wake behind him, and the advancing trough now situated just past the midwest will have moved off before the new one moves further west, and will leave behind what the models do show to be a fairly strong Bermuda high.

Will the orange box slip between the two highs and fish it out?

I think this one stays too low in the latitudes to get dragged or meander north.  This may be the one.  At 10.5N latitude, it comes at the lowest latitude of any viable CV wave so far this season.  Not as low as Ivan in 2004, but as low as Georges in 1998.

We are a good 7 days from any land interaction, and it still has no name, but this Orange box is as strong as they come convection and rotation-wise, and I think we will ALL be tracking this one for days to come, with baited breath.
