There's a system that could develop east of the Winwards. I'm not too sure it will last if it does though, the environment ahead of it isn't too great to be sustaining a system.
We'll be watching it though.
Mike's Tropical Development Probability Scale
Code:
forget it) 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 (sure thing)
[-----*----------------]
It hasn't reached invest status yet, but we are watching.

Maybe like 4.7 or 5.4 ..in that range.
Has a definite twist, yet hard to see what's going on under the cloud cover. Would bet there is no west wind yet indeed, but will there be.
Truth is... that my friends is a real good example of a nice, developing Tropical Wave.
Been a while, but I recognize it.
Wish it would slow down just a drop however at this point one shouldn't argue with success I suppose.
Watching..bobbi

take a look at this
and this off of Africa
when it looks that organized on IR, you know its strong
could be a TD in a day or so

Just watched JBs tropical video...man is he jumping all over 97L. He thinks, with modeling to back it up, that the system is going to head north, over Hispaniola and into the Bahamas by the weekend. A ridge is building in near the Islands, allowing it to sneak through the Antilles towards DR/Haiti. A drops down, but it misses 97L, so it continues it's northwest trek all the way to the Bahamas. At that point, models show it stalling and strengthening, eventually taking aim at the EC.
He's very concerned for the areas from Miami all the way up to NE.
A second scenario keeps 97L on a more southerly track, which would eventually take it either across or just south of Fla and into the GOM. He's not as keen on that one, but it is of course a possibility.
In any event, he thinks this one will be the one and needs to be watched.
Hey bugs, I guess you figured out the "URL" thingy? That wave has TD potential too.
And of course, the GOM is still just waiting to explode.
Cheers,
LI Phil

SPECIAL TROPICAL DISTURBANCE STATEMENT
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
215 PM EDT MON JUL 19 2004
SQUALLS ON THE LEADING EDGE OF A TROPICAL WAVE ARE APPROACHING THE
SOUTHERN WINDWARD ISLANDS. AS THESE SQUALLS MOVE THROUGH THE
ISLANDS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING THEY WILL LIKELY BE ACCOMPANIED
BY BRIEFLY HEAVY RAINS AND WIND GUSTS TO NEAR TROPICAL STORM FORCE.
THIS SYSTEM HAS SOME POTENTIAL TO DEVELOP INTO A TROPICAL
DEPRESSION OVER THE NEXT DAY OR SO.
FORECASTER FRANKLIN
take a look at this
what i thought yesterday was a weak wave with an outflow boundary appears now to be a developing tropical depression
what i thought was an outflow boundary is actually a strong rain band trying to block the center from the shear

Well, I must say Rabbit you're getting good at this.
Thanks for the sites, made me smile.. wasn't really in the mood to but you did.
and.. gee.. got a real system here to think upon don't we?
Took a long lunch and wandered around and came back to see a very vigorous wave.. that deserved a statement.
Can't someone get ship reports or far our island data or something... looks almost like its moving in for the kill.

I'm sure most of you have this one, but for those of you that don't:

A note:
There is light wind in Trinidad W@5 pressure dropping 29.94
A bit North in Barbados winds are E@17 with slightly higher pressure 29.97.

Looks like closed circulation to me.....east to the north of the center and west to the s...maybe an upgrade soon.....NHC can read the reports too....pressures fairly low considering distance to center....

If you look at the data between these three areas:
Trinidad:
http://weather.noaa.gov/weather/current/TTCP.html
Grenada:
http://weather.noaa.gov/weather/current/TGPY.html
Barbados:
http://weather.noaa.gov/weather/current/TBPB.html
Check out the wind direction, speed, and pressures.
These three locations are within less than 200 miles of each other.
Somethin's a brew'n
