Discusión del NHC.
Spoiler
"The tropical wave that NHC has been monitoring over the last several
days has gradually become better organized. The satellite structure
in particular is quite impressive for a tropical depression, with
both the 1800 UTC subjective Dvorak estimates from TAFB and SAB
at T2.5/35 kt.
An expansive mid-level ridge is located to the north and west of
the cyclone, which should maintain its heading toward the west,
though with a gradual gain in latitude as the system approaches
the western extent of the ridge by day 5. The track guidance is in
excellent agreement on this track evolution for the first three
days, with just a bit more spread in the guidance thereafter. The
ECMWF and its ensemble mean towards the end of the forecast is on
the left side of the guidance envelope, while the GFS and HWRF
models are currently on the right side.
The environment ahead of the tropical depression appears quite
favorable for intensification. Vertical wind shear is forecast by
both the ECWMF- and GFS-based SHIPS guidance to stay at or under 10
kt for the next 3-5 days as the storm traverses warm 28-29 C sea
surface temperatures. Most of the guidance responds to this
environment by indicating strengthening, and the NHC intensity
guidance follows suit, showing a steady increase in intensity
throughout the forecast period. While it might take a bit of time
for the formative low-level circulation to become vertically aligned
with the mid-level center, once that occurs, it is possible a period
of rapid intensification could occur during the five day forecast.
The forecast intensity by 120 hours (100 kt) is on the higher end of
the guidance envelope, but not as high as the latest HWRF or HAFS-B
forecasts."

GFS ve que recurva al norte antes de afectar las islas del Caribe. Europa hasta la última salida había mantenido un escenario donde no recurvaba y afectaba República Dominicana. Sin embargo, en su última salida ve el escenario de GFS.
Aún así, 945mb es la presión actual.
