Looking at the satellite and the models and reading several Forecast Discussions plus the TPC discussions, there looks to be something semi-tropical trying to get together north of the Bahamas to southeast of Cape Hatteras. Even the NWS/TPC thinking does not seem to be aligned completely, but the clouds are there and the water vapor imagery shows a lot of wet air.

The models are all over the place regarding what might happen if something forms. However, as meteotrade has pointed out in yesterday's post, the flow from the south is developing and looks to be on the increase.

I am not saying we will get a tropical storm, but we could get some heavy downpours Thursday night into late Friday. It could be more interesting on Cape Cod.

This is finally something somewhat exciting, weatherwise.
