Goes M Is Up
08:15 AM EDT - 23 July 2001

Yesterday the new GOES M satellite was launched, which is the last of that "generation" satellite, which will help track storms across the globe. Find out more on the GOES Web Site.

This weekend we had a little rain. Which is chipping away at our drought conditions, and actually start to get our lakes back up. This stalled front, though caused a low to develop west of us. But the conditions were (and still are not) favorible for development.

It didn't stop it from trying, however, and the west coast had a windy day and plenty of rain.

Spinout
I don't see it becoming anything.

Development Potential for Gulf Low
(forget it) 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 (sure thing)
           [--*-------------------]

Otherwise, not much happening, and I'm still going for the no named storms in July goal.

i don't see any kind of a circulation anywhere out in the gulf.i did notice storms building around your area but i was thinking it was just moisture that was being streamed up and sucked into the low moving inland in the panhandle of florida.please let me know if i'm wrong.also,does it look like that the wave around cuba has a circulation because i thought the part in the caribbean also had a seperate circulation.i just got up though,so i could be seeing things.

Yep, that does look a little interesting. I'm Gonna look around more before I do an update this morning. It's a big mess around there now. The Gulf system is looking horrible this morning, though.

Bandwidth saturation on the network the flhurricnae server is on is back to normal. (Ie should be very fast today). Hopefully it won't degrade again. Still trying to work with them on a fix, but at the moment I'm typing this. It's very fast.

it looks like storms are building again in the gulf.if this trend continues,is there enough time for anything to organize before it makes it into land?

It seems the system North of Cuba is still looking strong. The other interesting aspect is that it gained a lot of it's convection in the overnight hours. The central Atlantic also looks like it's starting to show signs of life.

You think the system north of Cuba is still looking strong? What about the central Atlantic?

forget cuba!! (#106)

Posted On 01:17PM 24-Jul-2001 with id (RPWNRQXNRSVNQQX*)

if any of you think that the stuff around cuba will do anything i think you might be wrong.it looks to me that the moisture from the system around cuba will be drawn northward by the low that pushed inland in the florida panhandle.the gulf looks to be a mess right now.storms are firing up left and right but there doesn't seem to be any organization to them at all.the nhc says this is all going to weaken throughout the day any way.looks like we are in a dead time again for a while.

I'm thinking the stuff above Cuba won't do anything, and neither the Gulf stuff. It's almost time to start looking elsewhere.

Gonna hold off on the update today until something happens.
GULF! (#108)

Posted On 03:20PM 24-Jul-2001 with id (RPWNRQXNRRRNR*)

IS IT ME OR DOES THERE SEEM TO BE A HUGE CIRCULATION TRYING TO FORM IN THE GULF?NEED SOME RESPONSE TO THIS BECAUSE MAYBE I'M JUST WISHING THERE WAS SOMETHING THERE.
NO CIRCULATION (#109)

Posted On 04:10PM 24-Jul-2001 with id (RPWNRQXNRRRNR*)

it was just me;no circulation in the gulf.i am watching the caribbean though.there is circulation there and it looks as though it is coming back to life around the center of it.i feel like i've been talking to myself today on this site.maybe things will pick up later on.
Shawn, look south of Cuba (#110)

Posted On 04:15PM 24-Jul-2001 with id (VSNQPPNQUYNRTV*)

Shawn, look south of Cuba, there is definitely something there. Something to watch anyway! Looks like La. may be in for some rain soon!
shearing? (#111)
Posted by: Shawn Location: houston,tx
Posted On 04:55PM 24-Jul-2001 with id (RPWNRQXNRRRNR*)

the system south of cuba looks good except for the southern part of it which looks to be having troubles with shearing.the center certainly looks like it's coming back to life and the northern part has storms building as well.does anyone know when the shearing will let up so this system can further develop and we'll all have something to talk about again?

it's interesting to look at the bouy information coming out of the gulf. the winds show that there is some sort of circulation off the coast of la. any thoughts

what about caribbean? (#114)
Posted by: Shawn Location: houston,tx
Posted On 05:21PM 24-Jul-2001 with id (RPWNRQXNRQXNQQS*)

can anyone explain to me why the nhc didn't even mention the system in the caribbean in their 5:30 update?since they didn't i guess we shouldn't be concern with it,right
You have to take the NHC with a grain of salt sometimes... (#115)

They obviously have their own agendas. It's one thing to be a weather geek, but it's another altogether to be a weather bureaucrat. YUK.

But I don't see a whole lot happening south of LA. All of the cloud tops are cooling significantly. It's my opinion that if the storms get cooking tomorrow, they'll be forming right over us here in SE LA and we'll see some nasty weather. They peaked out today between 10 and 2. I'd suppose that would logically hold for tomorrow.

caribbean system becoming stronger (#116)
Posted by: Shawn Location: houston,tx
Posted On 07:02PM 24-Jul-2001 with id (RPWNRQXNRQXNQQS*)

the caribbean system looks like it is getting a bit stronger each minute.it went through a stage today where it was losing its storms but now it is regaining it back from the inside,or center, out.is this a good sign for further intensification?the main question will be if it can continue this building through the night.the only problem i see is that it seems to be taking dead aim for the yucatan which would kill anything.any chance of this taking the smooth route through the open strait and into the central gulf?
caribbean falling apart,too (#117)

doesn't look like it will make it through the night.
