Interesting scenario there with that loop but it would be more credible if other global models join the GFS in that same scenario.

the models [Re: Cycloneye]
      #16665 - Sat Jul 24 2004 04:09 PM

AVN 6-day

the aviation model was the only forecast model to forecast Debby's turn southward in 2000, and overall seems to be the most reliable. Look closely off the coast of Africa
nothing has been forecast like that outside of the Pacific

Ed's 7-31 forecast may be correct if this forecast holds true

>>> Has JB said anything about the blob in the NW Carib.?

Nah, Drooper, he didn't post today. He's somewhere in the midwest (or at least that's where he was yesterday).

Things are seeming to wind down as evening draws near...lets keep an eye on the wave near the Caymans...slowed down to 10MPH...see where it is by morning light.

As I said this morning, I don't know why 98L was still even an invest, glad they finally took it off the board.

Haven't looked at any of the models yet, as a couple of you guys have mentioned above. From what you're saying though, sounds like we might actually have a read, honest to goodness TD this month

Das it fo' now.

on hold [Re: LI Phil]
      #16668 - Sat Jul 24 2004 07:10 PM

here's the rundown:
two trouble areas in the basin have problems of their own. former 97L found a patch of ridging, convection came back today.. and predictably low level easterlies are surging in to sweep the surface 'hurricane stew' out from under the support. there, i just coined a phrase. anyhow all this stuff seems to be going the way of old mexico. no, it isn't hungry for tacos, so don't make that extremely funny joke again.
98L (which is one of two vortexes NW of the SW/NE oriented convection from w cuba to north of bermuda) has a convectionless swirl sitting 200 mi SSE of hatteras and a slightly more formidable (ha) one moving NNW which is SE of hatteras.. noted in the TWO. that's a lot of bearings to read and understand, probably easier to eyeball them in the visibles. off to the southeast a bunch of convection assoicated with a wave, enhanced by overhead diffluence, is coming up NW. should enter the mix tomorrow, maybe fire off more swirls. this is a festering problem area that has so far not caused any trouble.
brief but pertinent off-topic. maybe it's that i just dated an english-teacher student or maybe i just feel like poking fun at people's spelling. no names, just some corrections for mistakes i keep seeing:
1) condusive. that's phonetically correct, but you spell it conducive.
2) comming. nope, just one m (coming).
keep in mind you've just been informed how to spell correctly by a drawling carolinian (think slower boomhauer) who is not many generations removed from banjo-picking and moonshine. that should get y'all spellin' right. raaaight. enunciation is another issue.

Hungry For Tacos? [Re: HanKFranK]
      #16669 - Sat Jul 24 2004 07:38 PM

>>> no, it isn't hungry for tacos, so don't make that extremely funny joke again. (doing best Homer Simpson), "mmmmm tacos". HF you crack me up.

Think you're right 'bout 97L, headed for the Yucatan. Granted, it's evening now, but everything seems to be falling apart. Hopefully everything will flare up with morning heat.

Wave that exited Africa yesterday has actually held together reasonably well. And it's far south enough to avoid all the dust and dry air to it's north. Probably meet the fate of every other wave to come off the continent, but it looks pretty good so far. Wondering if this is what the models are seeing down the road (click on Kevin's link -- top of this page).

Me think thu comming dayz wil be moar condusive four develipmint.

Cheers,

LI Phil

not a lot to look at huh? [Re: LI Phil]
      #16670 - Sat Jul 24 2004 09:49 PM

i see the wave is still there.. laying low, waiting for the right time maybe..

as for the contests around here..
i always thought july 25/26 would bring the first system, as what i dont know. depression or storm..

not sure if it will pan out, will see ..
maybe ed's is more realistic

here is a thought..
what if we ONLY have a real Atlantic Hurricane season this year ?

No early gulf
No fake blobs in bahamas
No Carib teasers

Just a real Atlantic Hurricane season.. complete with CV storms?

Doubt anyone around here will be all that let down

I mean.. better to have the real thing that just a bunch of imposters

talk tomorrow if something comes up
coming, one M.. thank you..will remember that

Seems like the convective blob located on the southern end of a wave that rolled off Africa a couple days ago has been producing consistent convection. It's located a little far south, but it seems to be gaining a little latitude in the last frame. Right now it's located near 8N 37W, and IMO seems to have the best chance at development during the next few days if it can stay away from the dry air to the north of it.

TG: ROFLMAO!

Actually, I think there's some new law REQUIRING candidates to put that little codacil at the beginning of every message. BTW, I work for a State Senator, so I'm a tad in tune to this stuff.

Yeah, the African wave is lookin' pretty good (thanks for the link). For this time of night, to put up a convective burst like that seen in the last frame is pretty impressive. I think this impulse is the same one (or close to it) that the models are developing for late next week. Someone with more knowledge of this sort of thing than moi, please confirm or deny that statement.

OK, I'm LI Phil, and I approve of this message.

Ok Guys like I said 2 days ago 97L is dead, I know your tried your best today to get it to rise from the dead but it didn't. Woulldn't count 98L out yet it's looking for trouble.

Not to bad Phil:

Think you off by two words,
Old Marine. There where have you isolating, my friend. Who didn't indicate that is 97L living? Even if he is, he will cross the Mexico and will emerge in the pacific ocean is. Hope goes you well.

I know you guys want to see something come alive it will soon.

I'll keep it en Anglais for the folks.

Sorry about the "old marine" versus "old sailor". My 8th grade french teacher didn't make those particular distinctions.

Yeah, we're all hoping for something, anything to track. I know it will come soon enough. Just was hoping it would come sooner than later. But, "the waiting is the hardest part" so it will be that much more enjoyable when our first TS or even TD does arrive.

Have a great night...hope Droop caught his dinner.

Cheers,

LI Phil

For whatever reason my link to NRL still has 98L up at this hour. Watch 97L... I think this one will hold on to be something... and whatever it becomes travel across to mid TX.

      #16683 - Sat Jul 24 2004 11:48 PM

a lot of weather forecasters complain about the AVN, especially on TV as its no longer the "in" model but I think its good at showing trends often that later verify as opposed to some that are either very good or very off..

just my opinion

and wanted to mention it

Still not much going on, but the TWO has something to say:-

A WELL-DEFINED LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM LOCATED ABOUT 175 MILES
EAST-SOUTHEAST OF CAPE HATTERAS NORTH CAROLINA IS MOVING
NORTH-NORTHWESTWARD AT ABOUT 15 MPH. ONLY LIMITED THUNDERSTORM
ACTIVITY IS CURRENTLY ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM. HOWEVER...SOME
ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT IS POSSIBLE LATER TODAY AS THE SYSTEM
GRADUALLY TURNS NORTHWARD AND MOVES INTO A REGION OF SLIGHTLY MORE
FAVORABLE UPPER-LEVEL WINDS. HOWEVER...BY MONDAY THIS SYSTEM IS
EXPECTED TO MOVE NORTHEASTWARD OVER MUCH COLDER WATER AND BECOME
LESS ORGANIZED.

So there is some potential, but I'm not completely convinced. There looks to be a decent flare up north of Puerto Rico this morning, but it doesn't have a mention in the Outlook. Also, the wave in the central Atlantic is looking quite good this morning. It will have to gain some latitiude though, otherwise all it will do is provide some rain for Venezuela in a few days.

So, still quiet, but if the GFS run materialises we could be in for some very interesting days ahead.

Bets Anyone? [Re: James88]
      #16687 - Sun Jul 25 2004 09:19 AM

I bet that we DO NOT see a TD or TS by the end of July.
I also think this is just like "snow days" we will be making it up in "June" or in our case "December"

Hey guys,
just been looking at the latest visible imagery and loops from GHCC on the low to the ESE of Cape Hatarras. The low is very well defined with a tight circulation, and ample banding of the low level clouds. Although it earlier had very little convection, this is now starting to change. There is increasing convection on the western side of the centre which is now wrapping in towards the core of the low. If this continues we may see a classification later today, possible as a TD or something subtropical. It doesnt appear to be moving much, but there is a general slow motion towards the NNW i would say.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this small feature?

Regards
