from the NHC TWO:

Northwestern Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico:
Disorganized showers and thunderstorms located over the western
Caribbean Sea and portions of Central America are associated with a
very broad area of low pressure. Environmental conditions appear
favorable for gradual development of this system during the next
several days. A tropical depression is likely to form while the
system moves slowly northward across the northwestern Caribbean Sea
and Gulf of Mexico through the end of the week. Regardless of
development, this system is expected to produce heavy rains over
portions of Central America during the next several days.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...high...70 percent.

From my own analysis of the latest ensembles it seems the chances are more likely than not Florida will get impacted by a TC in ~ the next 5 days (tracking from near the Yucatan northwards towards Florida). The majority of ensemble tracks show Florida impacted by such a disturbance if it forms (57/106 members), which is still 70% per NHC. Spaghetti plot of the ensembles from overnight:

From an equal weighting of GEPS, GEFS, EPS ensembles for tracks that impact Florida, there seems to be a non-negligible chance of a storm reaching Cat. 1 strength (at some point) before impacting Florida (perhaps 10-15% ?). These global models do tend to underestimate the strength as well as the chances for rapid intensification. There is also a strip of very high heat potential along which it might strengthen:

Edit: with 12Z models it looks like ~ 20% now. (GEFS is much more aggressive of the ensembles with almost 50% of its members having it reach a cat. 1). There is also increased agreement about the track (73/106 ~= 70% of members in a super-ensemble tracking a TC across Florida)

Edit: 18Z: 81/106 ~= 75% of members tracking through Florida.

@strutheo rate cuts can resolve YES if you get a chance. Thanks!

a second Trump assassination attempt
sold Ṁ45 a second Trump assas... YES

@ijk1 this is very confusingly worded. second overall or second in september?

@polymathematic second overall, of course.

@ijk1 i think @mods could na bc people seem confused on it

@strutheo Done.

Large tech company announces layoffs by my judgement

The "countdown to AGI" is getting uncomfortably close. I will hang on for now, but I should know based on the monthly AGI polls to never bet on the NO side on that topic again.

Harris debates Trump and wins the first debate, as judged by chris (@strutheo)

@strutheo who do you think won the debate?

Harris debates Trump

@strutheo This should resolve YES

@SteveSokolowski Note that there prior claimed results about 70b seem at odds with reality and third parties have found that its substantially worse. See here.

@strutheo Does "rumble crash boooom" count as an explosion?
https://xkcd.com/2980/

@ChristopherRandles i wont count it, could be a lot of things that go boom

Can a lava lake open up on a golf course without an explosive release of pressure? Perhaps so, but if there is also a boom sound ...

I think it's strongly suggested that there's an explosion, but it's not actually visible, so it shouldn't count for this.

bought Ṁ5 >= 26% of respondent... YES

This image can serve as a reference for the past polls.
