The Atlantic has two systems with good potential to develop right now. Ending a few weeks of relative inactivity.
There is a wave located near Hispanola that may develop, one east of the Leeward islands 1000 miles or so and one just south of the cape Verde Islands, which is the most likely to form first.
Along with an upper level low in the gulf, things are really starting to heat up. I'd expect one maybe two tropical depressions to form sometime today.

Hey guys,
both of the waves over the eastern Atlantic look good. Personally, i would be surprised if we did not see 92L (just west of the CV Islands) become a classified system today.
93L over the Atlantic about 1000 miles east of the Leewards looks good. This one i would expect to be classified by tomorrow if it persists. Will both bear watching.
Regards

Look of MARYLAND...very interesting little twist. And might the Gulf be about to give us a surprise?

What are the models showing for 92L(TD 10?) & 93L?, appears to me by looking at the SAT loops that they both might be fish spinners.

Was there a bit of a hold up with the 11am Outlook? Is the TPC mulling classification of 1 maybe 2 systems? Both systems in the Atlantic are looking good. I wonder what a recon would find?

The area that has my immediate concern is the wave/low north of the Dominican Republic. Looking at the latest visible loops there is definite turning in the Low level cloud field. says a broad area of low pressure may be forming. Think this one will be a go, if the shear lets up (as it seems to be doing). Could dampen the Labor day weekend here in Central Florida. Two other waves are over a week out, and lots can happen. Will it be wagons west?? Think 93L is heading toward the fish and 92L may get dragged in its wake. However if we get the ridge to pump up in the Atlantic then all bets are off, and we'll have to watch for NEXT weekend. The GOM also has some possibilities as noted in the UKMET and the piece by Joe B. We'll see what evolves. Cheers!!

Joe B, say the Atlantic ridge is going to uild and keep the storms on a NW or W track.

Jara: It was actually released a bit early (I saw it on net-waves.net at a bit before 11, so at least by then), but it looks like computer problems have caused a problem with its dissemination. (Last time I checked, the satellite images on the site hadn't updated in several hours, and all the NWS discussions mention a computer crash.)
Here it is:
1130 AM EDT WED AUG 27 2003
FOR THE NORTH ATLANTIC...CARIBBEAN SEA AND THE GULF OF MEXICO...
AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE ASSOCIATED WITH A WELL-ORGANIZED TROPICAL
WAVE IS LOCATED ABOUT 300 MILES WEST OF THE SOUTHERNMOST CAPE VERDE
ISLANDS. CONDITIONS APPEAR TO BE FAVORABLE FOR THIS SYSTEM TO
BECOME A TROPICAL DEPRESSION LATER TODAY OR ON THURSDAY.
SHOWER ACTIVITY ASSOCIATED WITH A TROPICAL WAVE EXTENDING FROM THE
WESTERN CARIBBEAN TO THE BAHAMAS HAS DIMINISHED SINCE YESTERDAY.
UPPER-LEVEL WINDS ARE NOT FAVORABLE AND DEVELOPMENT...IF ANY WILL
BE SLOW TO OCCUR.
AN AREA OF DISTURBED WEATHER ASSOCIATED WITH A TROPICAL WAVE IS
LOCATED ABOUT 1100 MILES EAST OF THE LEEWARD ISLANDS. THIS SYSTEM
HAS CHANGED LITTLE IN ORGANIZATION OVER THE PAST SEVERAL
HOURS...BUT IT HAS THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME DEVELOPMENT OVER THE NEXT
DAY OR AS IT MOVES NORTHWESTWARD AROUND 15 MPH.
ELSEWHERE...TROPICAL STORM FORMATION IS NOT EXPECTED THROUGH
THURSDAY.

It almost looks like "wave 3" or 92L has split into 2 pieces of energy, or is this just going to be one BIG storm. Any thoughts on this?

Almost fell out of my chair when I just saw those 5 stars by my name -- I literally laughed out loud.
A bit of honest self-evaluation here: I know nothing compared to people posting here with 1,2,3,4 stars, so definitely ignore that rating if you're looking at anything other than my posting of factual information I find elsewhere or see on the satellite images. (And even then you might be wise to question what I've posted!)
I am still laughing....

Lisa, look at the visible loop. What you're seeing is the SW arc of 93L. It still has a center, its just that the convection needs to consoladate in the center.

thanks steve.
When did they move the floaters to 92L and 93L?

They just moved them. I answered my own question. I found out by trying to do a loop.

Not sure. I know they are having some problems today. But i expect them to get 92L on, probably when it gets TD status, which it should have had already IMO.

Uh oh===here come the weasel words--- "CONDITIONS APPEAR TO BE FAVORABLE FOR THIS SYSTEM TO
BECOME A TROPICAL DEPRESSION LATER TODAY OR ON THURSDAY."(as opposed to "later today" at 0530)...."development... IF ANY will be slow to occur", "THIS SYSTEM HAS CHANGED LITTLE IN ORGANIZATION OVER THE PAST SEVERAL HOURS"...
so, we go from unbridled 'optimism' on part of to pulling in the reins at 1130.
I KNEW I was being too gung ho in my earlier post (but did it anyway).  Still looks like one TD today or tomorrow---the rest, we will see.
In regard to movement---the system N of Hispaniola may be a fish and one in the center---not sure about CV system yet....
IHS,
Bill

Looks like the disturbance N of Hispanola got ripped up by the shear, doesn't look like it's much of a factor anymore. Mid-atlantic wave looks like a fish spinner, remains to be seen whether 92L will be a fish also.

Defineatly getting it's act together, position your mouse and click the zoom button a couple of times.
This could be the home brew discussed earlier.

Do not rule out the potential for wave no. 1 as the shearing appears to have diminished and now looks like it has begun to take-off. Watch out Florida!

it does have a spin to it. nothing much has been said about it but with labor day weekend coming up (last big weekend for the beaches) i would think they would be real reluctant to put any thoughts into the tourist minds. they issue advisories and nothing happens all the motel owners scream bloody murder because they lost all their business.
