Re: Remnants of TD5 - Are the Models Wrong?

Quote:
When the LLC gets into the GOM which will it be labeled prior to being a tropical depression again?
1.As the old wave it was before (94L)
2.A new wave (95L)
3.The Remnants of TD 5, so 05L
Just curious.
My gut feeling, based upon satellite presentation, is that it will immediately be re-classifed as TD Five - possibly even before the LLC gets over the GOM. It's hard to pinpoint, but I think the LLC is just southwest of the AL/GA/FL tri-border, and moving south. Convection near that locaton is almost non-existent, but it's very impressive southwest of there in the Gulf. I've seen systems - including this one - with less convection call a tropical depression before.
There is no sound reasoning to call it 95L, since it is the exact same system that became TD 5.
