think back to the summer of 2000, when that tropical depression with one thunderstorm was off canaveral. think further back to arthur in june 1996... exposed center as it moved along the outer banks. sort of blew our collective minds as to what could be classified a tropical cyclone.
here is my take: this is a tropical storm. only not at the surface. so basically all we need is a thunderstorm on one of the inner coils to bring some winds down to the sfc, and voila. hmm.. remember allison last year, as its subtropical remnant was camping on the nc coast.. same thing.. just needs a little spirit. watch it crash into a sea breeze front tomorrow and get going... or maybe the pressure falls as the ridge to its northeast pulls out will do it. either way there is a little coming to maybe give 91L a kickstart.
anyhow byett is the only person who has been mentioning long forgotten 90L down in the caribbean. looks as frisky as ever, meaning a broad sfc turning and a bunch of thunderstorms a couple hundred miles away. it hasnt gone away, therefore i continue watching. the pattern has resulted in both of these things persisting.. they WANT to happen. so until they fade away the chance is as good as ever.
by the way, rad.. is that any kind of example to set for us youthful hurricane watchers? all the stuff they dont include in the brochures that belongs in any hurricane survival kit.. heheh.
