Very good. The number part had me stumped. Now, to dig a little further...
Is there any reason why they only use the numbers 90-99?

As is often true with open waves. Those models initialize it as a weak system. We will have to wait and see as the models initialize it better.

Those tropical models are useless......Stay with the globel models. ,Ukmet,Nogaps and Canadian ( at times). The wave near 37W will develop more in the next couple days as it will move over warmer water. Expect it to reach the leeward islands in 3-4 days.

Sorry off topic.

By the way, couldn't see the shuttle on the West coast of FL either.
I saw it quite easily up here in Crystal River. Being this far away i didn't see the shuttle its self, but clearly saw the trail and flame. It was really cool.

I love it when newscasters/press get so sensational.
It's not a loose piece from the shuttle - it's the same foam that shed last time and NASA expected shedding this time. The most important fact is that it did not hit the Shuttle itself.
Sorry for the off-topic reply, but I really dislike how media grabs a hold of a tiny, insignificant event and then dresses it up like it's the second coming...

It will be interesting to see what effect the Dust and Dry area has on TROPICAL WAVE ALONG 39W/40W. There is about 800 miles of this dust area for the wave to travel thru.

Miami is hyping up a wave already, weird, what do they know that we don't?
DISCUSSION...BY THE WEEKEND THE TROPICAL WAVE THAT IS OUT ABOUT 40W TODAY WILL BE COMING INTO THE PICTURE AND HELPING TO SWITCH THE FLOW TO EASTERLY. STILL SOME UNCERTAINTY ABOUT THE STRENGTH AND LOCATION OF THIS SYSTEM OVER THE WEEKEND BUT REGARDLESS OF ITS POSITION IT WILL AT LEAST SWITCH THE FLOW TO EASTERLY.
MARINE...WINDS WILL REMAIN BELOW 15 KT THROUGH THE PERIOD EXCEPT BY
THE WEEKEND DEPENDING ON THE TROPICAL WAVE WE COULD SEE SOME HIGHER WINDS.

Usually 4-5 days plus in advance they just mention the possibility of a wave nearing the area and that is all. They don't usually mention the uncertainty of the strength of a wave that far in advance or that winds may be higher. I think it is because they are believing in the models possibly developing it more than just a wave.

Hi LL Phil:
As for any Comments just a gut feel here, that it will hidden the wave from developing soon, guess a wait and see as to how long it takes if it does to develop.Time will tell Phil.
