gfdl 2004080218-invest91l
Model now 6hrs old. Takes 91L from present position over Virgin Islands, then to just NE of the Turks/ Caicos Islands in 126 hrs from 18Z today. That would be 00Z Aug 08, if I did my math right. This is an old model. New model should be out in a couple of hours.
http://met.psu.edu/tropical/tcgengifs/
use model and press submit button.
*AVN and UKMET are showing 91L further to the NE than the model. Again these are old models.

there are two tropical systems out there tonight. i'm going to go ahead and classify t.d. 2 now, actually several hours ago when it rated 2.0. will just have to fix that in the post-analysis.
alex first. three days ago i was holding out that it would nudge west into georgia or something, but instead it made an attempted cycloidal loop last 36 hours (think it came out with a figure eight) and now has finally had the ridge removed. latest shots tell me that it's accelerating.. and still trying to form an eye. upper sw-erlies are going to start infringing overnight but that should result more in a baroclinic jolt than anything else, and alex should be a hurricane when it runs the outer banks. i'm going to set my sights on a gustav '02-style graze from cape lookout along the barrier islands. eyewall onshore, eye center at or just offshore. think intensity will be 70kt give or take, and peak around 80kt east of virginia early wednesday.
91L, or tropical depression 2 as i prefer, will be officially classified at 11, unless the feels like delaying this information will do the central islands any good. it's at 12N/49W or so, current trajectory around 280, motion maybe 16kt. slowing a tad, and i'm thinking it will begin to move wnw tomorrow. a is developing and it will be bonnie by midday tomorrow. should reach the islands around guadeloupe wednesday afternoon. i'm really iffy on the upper air setup. it will have to deal with some shear around the greater antilles.. and probably a good chunk of island (d.r.?). my long-run take is that if it gets to be a hurricane before reaching 60w, it will recurve ahead of the upper trough late in the week and clip bermuda or something. if it stays below it should get hung near the bahamas around the weekend.. too little information to make an educated guess from there.
add into the mix the cutoff energy near 24/62.. not very impressive at the moment and unlikely to develop.. but if it starts up it throws future bonnie's fate into the air.
92L is far east and unlikely to develop much over the next 2 days.. it will probably maintain or wane a tad, and stay on a mostly westward course. expect it's run to come later in the week. if it's development comes early, it will move wnw into very dry conditions and marginally warm waters.. and struggle anyway. has it going way out into the north atlantic.. don't buy that just now.
gfs likes a follow on wave to 92L (watcher for late week) and there is a low potential for alex's 'tail' to fester in the gulf. not a concern right now.
the sharp trough forecast to dig into the east this weekend i expect to split.. if future bonnie is strong it will run up ahead of it.. if it intensifies slowly and hangs near the caribbean it will be a problem for the u.s. later, because once that trough splits the east coast is wide open again. has a few runs (these are not terribly believeable) where the trough sets up camp a'la 2000 and keeps the everybody west of 70w out of trouble. could be true, but i think it's just a dumb idea has stuck in it's noggin.

T-numbers now being issued on 92L first classification is "too weak". We can probably expect it to stay disorganized until it passes over the cooler water ahead of it.

that's typically a cat-1 central pressure. flight level winds a tad lackluster. but then winds usually lag behind pressure falls.
pressure at landfall/closest approach tomorrow i'm guessing will be around 980mb.

Great posting around here. Enjoying reading along. Went out for dinner and to rest my eyes 
Looked at the models. I think its way too early to tell anything w/o a complete fix on a system and further than five days. Main point of the models is that it continues west til the islands.
Very skeptical of erosion of the ridge to buy into AVN scenario or others.
Alex is kicking.. got to give him credit.
Didn't realize Jim Cantore was so good at covering Spring Break festivities. NOW I know why my brother was thinking of going up to the Outter Banks ...think it was to look at some of Cantore's fan club playing in the sand.. no words, hard job he's got out there huh?

Yeah, it's a classic "Wait & See" a la Steverino.
BTW, though, it's "outer" banks not "outter banks". Sounds too much like "otter" or some other dam building varmint.
Nice post. You all know this, so I won't reiterate...met Cantore in 99. Great guy, a tad short, but so what.
Just waiting for the 11:00 then going to turn in. Tomorrow should be a good day for tracking.
Actually, planning a week vay-cay on the outer banks the week after Labor Day (sorry, off topic, sort of). Bobbi, you tell your lil bro to go for it. Outer Banks might not be there in a few years, if the Floyds and Isabel's of the world have their way.
TD#2 at 11? I gotta go check , and I'll let you know.
EDIT: Just checked . Still 91L...Guess not until tomorrow, at the earliest

TWO backs that up, as it says 91L could become a Tropical Depression on Tuesday, so no classification tonight then.

If that's spinning the fishes, that's great!
If it's your home facing that...maybe that doesn't deserve an exclamation point.

IF...big IF..low possibility
IF...this happened..."and there is a low potential for alex's 'tail' to fester in the gulf. not a concern right now"
well...wouldn't that tend to keep "bonnie" on a more westerly tract ??
I can see where 'bonnie' could lift more wnw but then see potential for her to bend back towards the west after being lifted.. maybe, possibly...
lot of possibilities

Why do I feel that 91L, which has had spurts of life during the night time hours, is about to have another burst of thunderstorms now that it knows it's still just sn invest? If I were in the islands, I would go ahead and plan on TS warnings by tomorrow night, and a wet Friday. They sure seem to want to upset the future Bonnie quickly. 
Not sure what to make of 92L tonight. Friday may be the day we see some development from it. The models still seem to love it more, for whatever reason. Do lots of funny things with it too, none which seem to relate to each other. IMO, the models don't seem to eject Alex out of the picture fast enough, or make him out to be the all-time wrecker of the Ber. high. Bonnie(91L) has a LONG way to go before she gets affected by anything Alex does or will do.
Oh well. Alex will be a hurricane in a hurry to go somewhere tomorrow, Bonnie will just be opening her eyes and seeing islands, and the wave machine will keep them coming for quite a few weeks.....
