Re: Invest 98L Forecast Lounge

I think the models are over emphasizing Kirk's influence. Kirk is a very small storm and any break in the ridge will quickly fill in. Also it looks like dry air is doing its deed as the convection on the east side isn't as robust (the depression). It is also moving due west which will have it miss the next forecast point to the south. The Euro seems to want to take it more west (I've heard that one before this season). A couple of days will provide a little more clarity perhaps.
Side note...this is about to go almost directly over buoy 41041 with now has pressure falling and a sustained wind of 29kts and a gust of 35kts out of the NNW (as of 12:50 EST)
