Kyle now a TD, but more of a threat to Florida and moving faster. From the :
Kyle weakens to a depression...again...
Interests in the northwest Bahamas and the Florida peninsula should monitor the progress of Kyle.

What you say is quite true....however, this season I am not willing to bet against a system that has already become #8 all time longest lived tropical system, one that has been written off several times. So, case made or not by Kyle, I stand by my "I'll not be surprised if it is breezy and wet" this weekend in Central Florida....

Latest satellite pictures do show a weak incease of thunderstorms to the southeast of the center. Even though Kyle was downgraded I do expect tommorow to show a developing storm heading for central Florida. Upper leveles wil improve as Kyle moves more southward. The farther south the better chance for development. If kyle makes south of 28 degrees then development will occur. This is no big storm but it could turn out to be a very wet system for Florida this weekend. Best forecast is landfall between WPB and Ft. Pierce. GUESS??

Took a few days off tracking...a little hiatius for me. Good thing I got the rest because it appears Florida is going to be dealing with Kyle by Friday. only keeps the intensity at 30 knots through the period, but that simply means they are extremely uncertain. I expect Kyle to make landfall somewhere between Melbourne and Cocoa Beach with intensity ranging from a moderate TS to a minimal hurricane. Somewhere in between is what I favor most at this point. The convection has become slight more numerous in the past hour, but we will have to see if this trend persists.
Another thing I should add: who says weak systems are slouches? I have a feeling Kyle is going to be a messy ball of deep convection by the time he gets to Florida, not a naked circulation with dying convection like Edouard was. Flooding and tornadoes are a distinct possibility with this type of system, and all people in Florida need to keep a close eye on Kyle.
I will also add that I am leaving for a trip to the Smoky Mountains late Friday afternoon, Kyle's presence could bring some bad communting weather. Our plan was to get to the SC/NC border by Saturday afternoon...we'll have to drive slower with the possible heavy rains that Kyle may bring.
The Bucs are 4-1 and are looking to take control of the NFC South, Saints look out! The panthers have lost two in a row and have begun their slipping-off act. The Falcons would need a miracle to turn things around. Looks like a good, tight two-team race.

Sure. I will be looking for Thunderstorm Kyle to come right over my house this weekend. I will keep my eye on it but it looks really bad in the latest satelite image.

If our friend Kyle doesn't get a burst of convection out of him soon, looks like he could dissipate. At 5 pm he looked to be wrapping some convection in, but now he is waning. There is subsidence to his NW and an ULL to his south. He needs to get into the moisture in the south. It's hard to tell how his LLC is even on loops. They may keep him still as a depression at 11pm, or may dissipate him. Cheers!! Steve H.

Hey Steve,
At the 5p discussion Beven said that Kyle's center looks well defined,but it is hard to tell now on the visibles. It's a very hard call with Kyle because he has made so many come backs. But let's face it, he is either going to slowly fade away into the sunset or he is going to go out with a bang. If he can get thru another day he should be in a little better environment and the ridge should start to build. But if I had to place a survival bet on Kyle, I would bet that he will at least hang on enough to make his name famous!
PS Hey Mary,There is a lot of truth to your thoughts.

Thunder Storm Kyle seems to lost his thunder, and at 11 may lose his storm. Is the streak over? I mean there is nothing, zero, nada, going on with him at the moment. I became a guru just to declare Kyle dead?

OK Joe & Rob, check out the shortwave IR loop, there still may be a little hope. Let me know your thoughts. Have you seen the latest run? If that little scene comes to pass we may never get rid of Kyle and he will give Ginger a run for her money.(LOL don't you just love those sayings that you grew up with, looks even funnier when you write it)
Hey Steve H. what are you putting in the water over there???

Well, there is a spin there.
>>Have you seen the latest run? <<
The is a member of the Axis of Evil, and it's prediction will not be alowed to happen. That is the forth different outcome that it has forecast in the last, hmmmmm, four runs? Toni, I hate that model, but loves it for sure. It hit my back yard this morning!
My Jags go to Tennesse to play the hated Titans, who at 1-4 also have a low-level center but no convection.

I think that Kyle is rotating around that axis of evil. Maybe that has been his problem all along, we may have to perform an exorcism!
WOW finally some excitement! You know I know what the does and it has changed it's mind almost every run today. But I am too curious not to look.
Even if nothing else becomes of Kyle we can at least say that he has made a few of us laugh.

We waited to long to perform the exorcism. 11p discussion says that Kyle is going to poop out right in my back yard in about 72hrs.

kyle is a low cloud swirl this evening. there may be enough subsidence entrained on the nw side to prevent a recovery. it only figures that kyle leaves shear and heads toward the warmest waters yet, only to take a big drink of desert air and spin down. thats how it goes with tropical systems.

Maybe we should start thinking about MARCO. I have to admit that Kyle is just about a done deal.

Kyle is coming an I'm in his way!!! I do NOT think we will have tornado's or any bad weather. Kyle is just a rain system at this point.
Buc's are indeed 4 - 1 and look to be the best in the South.

Kyle was still looking interesting on this afternoon's visibiles. He doesn't look like squat on the nighttime IR. If the model trends continue, and he's able to recover (which he has every time he's petered out) he'll be at least a TD if not a semi-potent TS at landfall in Florida late this week. If he does become a GOM problem thereafter, I'd look east of Ft. Walton for 2nd landfall. A pretty strong coldfront is liable to blast through TX and probably even the LA Gulf Coast, so that means if there is anything in the Gulf. It's headed North then Northeast. Early call - just for fun - landfall around Jupiter with 2nd landfall around Indian Pass.
Having defeated 4 playoff teams from 2001 - including the Bucs - it's clear who the best team in the NFC is. After we dispose of Washington and San Francisco, there will be no doubt who rules the NFC South.

I think thunderstorm Kyle should be weakened to shower Kyle. Looks like it is headed towards Ft. Pierce on Thursday evening. I wonder if the is keeping it as a depression just in case it reintensifies? 5 am discussion still mentions the possibility. Just don't see this thing doing anything.
