Here's Bertha...
      #1703 - Tue Aug 06 2002 06:56 AM

FINALLY a heavy feeder band moving in. I just woke up with some loud thunder and heavy rainfall. Looks like we'll get a couple of inches with this squall. Better late then never.

Again, I caution everyone Not to depend on these models so much. My hunch was right on the remains of Bertha just stalling and eventually raining itself out. It never did take that west to southwest move or the continual northwest track that the models said it would. Now if a dummy like me can sit here and out perform these models sometime, then we need to start paying closer attention to other possibilities that the models are not picking up on. That brings me to TD#3. The models are still bullish on this trough picking it up and sending it out, but we all see what is going on here and it is leaning towards the models being wrong again. I'm not saying that I'm 100% sure that the models will be incorrect on this one because I know that the logical thing is to think that TD#3 will be picked up. However, models never what to go out on a limb on things, which means they would NEVER predict a trough MISSING a system. The models could be right still, but right now I'm leaning towards this thing making it into the gulf. I can't believe I'm actually ageeing with Joe B. HAHAHA!!!!

I don't think there is a circulation left anymore. It would take too much for it to get going again. Not only that, I think the storms will fade off once they get back into the water.

Hey Steve,

Have looked at the bouy 120 NM East of Cape Canaveral?

The water is certainly warm enough to sustain Tropical growth.

Shawn there is definitely a circulation, look at the NRL visible. It looks better than when it hit land.

TD # 3
      #1712 - Tue Aug 06 2002 09:15 AM

Appears to be heading east right now on vis loop. Is this temporary?? Will a new LCC form under the deep convection?? Doubt it. Looks like it's making it's move. If it doesn't stall, it will spin fish. Cheers!! Steve H.

TD-3 is here for our entertainment pleasure. I dont think it's gonna do a thing. I've seen more impressive 'Nor Easters' on the Jersey shore. We in the Florida Keys are still watching for one of those bad boys coming off the African coast that tend to bee-line straight towards us.

does appear to have moved SE. The center is clearly visable on sat. at 30.3 76.44. May just be a slight jog east on the continued south movement but only time will tell

At Closer Inspection...
      #1716 - Tue Aug 06 2002 10:31 AM

TD #3 appears to have the LCC wobbling in a loop. We'll see if this thing goes NE or sits. Got a feeling if it doesn't make it's move today, someone may have trouble on the east coast. Evn though it's getting sheared right now and has it's northern half exposed, the overall circulation is more symetrical. If if stays put for 24 hours, and has the ridge build over it...look out. Cheers! Steve H.

I'm Losing IT!
      #1717 - Tue Aug 06 2002 12:40 PM

During the past hour, it appears that TD#3 has lost the LLC, as it has gottten sucked into the MLC underneath the center. Could a new center be emerging to the SW??? Check the NRL vis loop out. Cheers!! Steve H.

I've looked at the visible, Radar, and IL and I can't detect any E motion to this except for a jog right around 11AM. It also makes you wonder how there are no probabilities for Florida even though it's right on it's doorstep. Maybe that's why I don't work at the NHC.

I have been tracking the center all morning on visibles. I have it at 30.4 76.42. It is completely open on the northern side. It has been basically sitting still for the past few hours. If anything, it has nudged a tiny bit west in the past hour. It's so close to the magical 30 degree mark that I can't beleive they aren't discusing the possibility of the trough passing it by. Also, it apears to be to the west of the main trough axis. Am I wrong on this????

stalled
      #1720 - Tue Aug 06 2002 01:11 PM

i agree. It doesn't look like it's moved that much at all. Has the LLC moved under the convection? In the next few hours we will find out more. Is it me or has the NHC been sleeping lately? On Sunday they acted like nothing notable was going to come out of the Gulf system and all of a sudden we have TD #2 and then hours later we have Bertha. Even on the weather channel at around 3:00 they said lots of rain but no tropical formation when you could see clearly from the radar that something was spinning tightly. I wonder how many people in Louisiana got caught off guard with Bertha? Don't get me wrong I fully respect the NHC as one should but I do have questions about their methods of doing things. Just my 2 cents.

I have lost the center as it is backing SW under the convection. should be upgraded soon. Probably an intermediate advisory coming out soon.
