Well, the 5:30 says a mouthful. Now, the question is: will we have TD 1 at 11:30? Probably not, but more likely tomorrow. They're sending in a plane to 90L tomorrow. As these two systems begin to separate from each other, I like the chances of each developing more and more.

Yeah, I agree with you Phil. 90L looks quite a bit better than it did earlier today, so although 99L is developing faster, its counterpart may well be the more significant system. Notice that in the latest they have raised the possibilty of a tropical storm forming tonight, rather than just a tropical depression.

I think the reasoning here is that if and when something connects it could happen fast and as the water is that hot..it can intensify fast. It's close to the shore and therefore.. they need to be more cautious and watch it carefully.
Better safe than sorry.
Have a great weekend, ill check in Saturday nite. Maybe will have something exciting then..will see.
Take care of yourselves, don't get blurry eyes from all those loops.

A brief check around some of the southern Gulf buoys yields the following:
Station 42003 - 260nm South of Panama City Beach: Winds are due east @ 15.5knts gusting to 23.3. Wave Heights are 2.3'. Water Temperature is 88.5 degrees. Pressure is 29.79 (which represents a 4 basis point drop from yesterday's 29.83 @ 4pm).
Gulf Buoy 42001 which is the Mid Gulf Buoy about 180nm South of SW Pass, LA shows a similar .04 drop in pressure from yesterday. The winds here are due north @ 11.7knts gusting to 15.5knts. Water temps are 86.4.
Gulf Buoy 42041 which is 110nm S of Grand Isle shows a .03 pressure drop and also winds out of the NNE @ 3.9kts.
BURL1 which is located in SW Pass, LA has a .03 drop from yesterday and has ENE (True) winds at 8knts.
----------------------------------------------
Most of the buoys off of the FL coast show rising pressure compared to yesterday and show E, SE or ESE winds. The buoys to the north and west of the circulation are N and NE. Buoys farther toward Texas show no evidence (obviously) at this time of any deepenings in the Gulf.
Developing situation? I report, you decide.

Hey guys,
i noticed the apparent westward motion of the system to in recent satellite imagery. Could this be a possible attempt and the centre trying to relocate or consolidate? Think we should see this become a TD / STD in the next 12 hours, but wouldnt be surprised if held off til tomorrows first light visibles to check for sure.
90L certainly appears to be holding steady and still poses a threat of development, possibly not as immediate as 99L, but certainly soon.
Regards

Not that it matters, but the board had a record 50 users online at one time today at 4:32 pm. And there have been more than 100 new registered users (though only a few have actually posted) in the recent months. 50 users online is not a lot, but it IS a lot when you consider we haven't even gotten a named storm yet. Imagine how hopping this place will be once we get a CAT III CV hurricane barreling across the Atlantic with eyes on the east coast!
Sticking with my earlier call that we don't get a TD tonight.

and is about ready to spool up. It will be interesting to see what happens tonight. Looking at the NASA site zoomed in, it looks like the LLC has shifted slightly south nearer the developing convection. Pressures are also lower across the mid GOM as compared to yesterday.
Also, does it look like 99L is moving more west than north to anyone else?

I noticed the same movement of 99L. says the Bermuda high is what will cause it to steer northwest.

I just don't see the NW movement...more like just slightly north of due west. Maybe it will shift more north tonight...but if it doesn't, it looks like it would move onshore between the Cape and Jacksonville.

Depends on the position of the bermuda high if it is more east then the flow will be to the NW like now around the perifery of it and if the high is closer to the US then like Andrew did westward to westnorthwest will be the track.

Dvorak numbers are 1.5 on 99L, but looks like the circulation is falling apart in the last couple of hours
90L looks like it is getting better organized, and appears to be developing like Gabrielle in 2001 (looks like pre-Gabrielle low did about 48 hours before becoming a TD)

I don't think even the is sure where 90L is right now, even their Key West people are not sure if it's due west or southwest of Key West. To many thunderstorms clouds in the area, may be able to local it ,if the storms die down again tonight.

>>> second, what is the site where you are all getting the numbers from?
Earlier today you didn't even have the site for the #'s and didn't know what an "analog" year meant. That's cool, you asked and both James88 & I obliged. Well, you're welcome. Generally when you ask for information and other posters provide it, it's customary to provide an acknowledgement. Now you're an expert on ?
Smugs, you're welcome to post here anytime, so long as you don't engage in personal attacks, just lighten up on the attitude. You may know the weather pretty well (and you do), but there are others here with 50+ years of experience as actual mets and I've been PMed by them (and others) regarding your tone.
And put some pants on

i posted the numbers with the expectation someone would comment on it and say whether they are up or down, and explain if i am right that the system is becomming disorganized
it is difficult to post very much at the moment--i am on a very old computer with the very flawed windows ME
i was at the college library earlier
if i post too many messages as long as this one, the computer will freeze up

30/2345 UTC 28.0N 76.1W T1.5/1.5 99 -- Atlantic Ocean
Phil those are the latest T numbers for tonight with respect of 99L so no changes there.

so I see it has moved northwest. or at least WNW
the visible image appears to be getting less organized, but the IR appears to show a low level center under a building ridge
are either of these correct or am i just getting tired and beginning to see things that aren't there?

Really a complex system, just seems to me that the LLC of 99L is westbound towards the Fla Cape, or possibly slightly north of west. Another spin probably a ULL or Mid level circulation seems to be spinning around just east of the bahamas and doesn't appear to be going anywhere fast. 90L may actually develop sooner as some good convection is firing up, and may create a problem for the upper Mexico or Texas coast in a few days.
