Not sure what to do with 91L. I'm giving my ideas a B+ so far. My early end game from last Monday or Tuesday called for a potential eastern Gulf threat. It's really hard to tell what might happen. The biggest player is the front expected to get to the Northern Gulf on Wed. or Thurs. How fast will it get here? How far south into the Gulf will it move? How are the models going to change if we end up with a Gulf system? If you missed it last night, I threw up an interesting scenario proposed for this season on the 91L contest thread. I wonder how I did on the 2nd half of the prediction scheme? Models I've looked at seem to indicate a hard right in the middle of the Gulf and toward the FL panhandle. That's plausible as is a west moving wave axis . There's just no way to determine yet what's going to happen. If you missed it, a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert has been issued for 91L. As of the Hi-res IR tonight, it looks like the system is developing most on its southerly side. (Something we saw 8-10 days ago in the WPAC). Speaking of the WPAC, there are two invests up as well as Tropical Storm Rananim. This storm is anticipated to become a typhoon on its slow move north and then curve West toward Shanghai. & will be changing the tracks from time to time. But as of now, we're talking about a 6-10 day teleconnection of a ridge in eastern North America (and probably a strong one). What effect this has on 93L (which for my money, is looking better by the minute) into early-mid next week, if any, remains to be seen..
SOI has been averaging slightly negative for the last 6 days. A -6.4 value doesn't really scream, "El Nino is coming" but more likely signifies the 3 systems north of there.
-------------------------------------------------
Anyway, 91L could be a developing situation, or it may turn out to be nothing (what the models have been saying).

Ran the probable center location against a beam characteristic calculator.
Distance from Cancun radar to the center of storm determined by radar. At 0530Z, this was 070degrees at 71.5nm. Here are the results.
0.5deg Elev Angle
Beam Top Ht ARL- 10,700ft
Beam Ctr Ht ARL-7,200ft
Beam Bottom ht ARL-3700ft
Beamwidth-----------7100ft wide
This is for a WSR-88D radar and may not be accurate for Cancun radar.

i think we have at least at TD2 again..... watching radar from cancun... center of cir.... in 4 pics (40 min worth) show a tight center of cir..... if its mid levl.... well looooks good.... cancun radar..... now she must survive the GOM for a few hrs today..... need less shear from the ne on monday...
is it me or have i noticed this system likes the night time....
*L* man Friday the 13th is coming....

FROM THE EQUATOR TO 32N. THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION IS BASED
ON SATELLITE IMAGERY...WEATHER OBSERVATIONS...RADAR...AND
METEOROLOGICAL ANALYSIS.
BASED ON 0000 UTC SURFACE ANALYSIS AND SATELLITE IMAGERY THROUGH

A 1013 MB LOW HAS DEVELOPED ALONG THE SURFACE TROF THAT EXTENDS
FROM 20N86W THROUGH THE YUCATAN CHANNEL TO 25N84W. THIS SYSTEM
IS THE REMNANT OF T.D. AND HAS THE POTENTIAL FOR
REDEVELOPMENT. RADAR IMAGES FROM CANCUN MEXICO CONFIRM THE

Not at A 1013 MB preesure to high for a TS, maybe a TD.

T-numbers for the system are now up to 2.0/2.0, so we may well have a TD at the next advisory.

I wouldn't watch the pressure too closely. I know that's what we normally do. Alex formed up a pretty mean storm at near to sea level pressures. All the pressures in the GMX that I've seen are around 30.00in hg, or about 1015.9mb.
Lowest pressure observation, within 350nm of storm center, was from a ship at 22.6N 87.5W- 1014.0mb E winds at 18.1kts at 0600Z.

0615Z IR channel2 shows a large area with lightning covering the Northern semi-circle of the storm cluster.

Both systems now have the support of the model. It takes the former TD into western Florida as a hurricane and then has it moving up towards Long Island.
Hurricane Bonnie?
It also takes 93L through the Caribbean as a hurricane.
Hurricane ?
This is shaping up to be a very interesting week!

Goodness, look at the loop of the GOM on !!! The last two hours and all of a sudden we have what looks serious on our hands. I mean it's really gotten it's act together in the last say three hours. Anyone else up at this hour and agree. Maybe I just need some sleep!

OK, I know this is getting repetitive, but I am talking to myself. If that's not at least a TD again I better find a new profession, because I'd bet my bottom dollar that we have Bonnie.

I have to agree with you, the system is looking quite good this morning. It would be surprising if we didn't get a classified system by this evening.

Hey I am not talking to myself at this god awful hour. Couldn't agree more James. Very impressive looking, I might be jumping the gun, but just from my eye it's already Bonnie. Of course I'd love to have some pressure and wind readings from that area to verify, but taking into account simply the presentation, I'd say we have something.

You're not dreaming. I think we will have a Bonnie by tonight. Very impressive system on radar.

This system looks like a TS to the nude eye! Who has the statistics on this one?(Yucatan) There appears to be banding and the tail is as well formed as ole Alex had.Uh oh here I am talking about animals again. I know this one will make it to the other forum. But really. IF this is Bonnie, we do not have much time to ooh and aww over it until it gets some one.
