Even though 96L has become more disorganized since last night,
I would not write it off just yet. Its circulation still appears to be intact,
and if it can get more storms to wrap around it, we may have a tropical
depression sometime tonight or tomorrow. Since the center of 96L
has shifted quite a bit north from its 06z position, the model tracks
are now taking it in to Texas. My only real concern for its development
is the dry air it has taken in because it still appears that shear is not
much of an issue.
