Re: Tropical Depression 3 Forms in Atlantic No Threat To Land.

OK, my take

Chantal: Set to become extratropic by around 1200z, 1st August, probably just before the centre passes over the Avalon Peninsula, bringing heavy rains and gusty winds. CHC is forecasting totals over 100mm for parts of the Avalon and southeastern Newfoundland, so could be a problem. Uncertainty in forecast track means winds to tropical storm / gale force may occur over coastal sections, especially in gusts. This time tomorrow, Chantal will be racing into the far North Atlantic.

99L: Not as well organised as earlier, granted. But even so, there is still well defined banding especially to the south, with an area of deep convection south of the centre. The LLCC is difficult to locate given higher level cloud, but looking at imagery it would appear it may be less well defined than earlier. The environment is ok though, and tonights diurnal max could give it the kick start it needs.

Cheers
