The above analyses are produced from observations at weather stations around the world, as well as ship and buoy reports at sea, reports from aircraft, radiosonde balloons, and even satellite data. These data are merged after quality control procedures have been applied. Even with all of the data sources, there are still tremendous gaps in coverage over remote areas.
Further details will certainly become clearer in the next 24-36 hours. I do not prefer to look to far ahead as we all know that weather has a mind of it's own. Sometimes many events never materialize. I prefer short term forecasts and above all real time weather observation as they are far more accurate than 120 hour forecasts.
So let's keep an eye on the system. Updates to follow.
