Invest 94L should finally become a subtropical or tropical depression today and tomorrow and then subtropical or tropical storm Epsilon tomorrow or Wednesday. It should come close to Bermuda later this week, probably as a hurricane.
The potential system in the western Caribbean still has only a 20% chance of tropical development within the next 5 days, according to the National Hurricane Center. The GFS ensembles remain more bullish on development than the Euro ensembles, but overall, the potential threat has lessened significantly.
A note on the new Euro run, as it's no longer showing the strong storm for the 28th, but it still bears watching. There will probably still be some wind and rain for the northeast around the 27th/28th from a storm system moving through New England.
