Hey there fellow weather watchers! Sorry I haven't been here in so long, but I was just "busy" with kids, work, etc.
Anyway...I was looking at the area mentioned near the Bahamas, and from what I am seeing it doesn't look organized right now, although it has a lot of convection with it. Is this the same area the NRL had as 90L Invest the other day? It's in the same general area as that one was, but since I have not looked at any visibles since then I didn't know if it had completely dissipated and this was a new wave or what. I also checked out the OSU Met Site for the wx statements, winds in that area varying from light to moderate and I am not seeing a lot of cloud blowoff that you would see when there is a lot of shear. I did go back into the Models and I noted that on the 13th the NHC ran a test on Tropical Depression AT90L (I think it was AT, not sure but it was the one near DR/Bahamas). The coordinates had it in the same basic area this one is in, with the 72 hour SHIPS forecast giving it winds of 54 knts which we know would be a TS at the least.

I don't know about any other Florida residents here on the West Coast, but here in Polk County last night we got SLAMMED. It was very scary for a while.

Anyway.....just wanted to pop my head in, say hi and get some feedback.
