Quick question Rob,
Just because the Navy says its a TD, does that mean will automatically comply at 5:30?

Yes. The doesn't make it's own decisions...it just carries over what has already been decided by the . Also, the 19Z SHIPS run labels it as AL012004, rather than AL992004. So we can count on the first advisory at 5PM.

We are getting some nice rain here in Jax. I dont know if you can classify them as feeder bands yet. Still lots of rain though.

this started looking organized when I checked the radar a few hours ago (on the local forecast)
It would have been a surprise to go until tomorrow without a depression forming.
has potential before moving inland to become Alex tomorrow if the 35 knot wind mentioned in an earlier post turns out to be true.
(small note: windows ME is gone and replaced with 2000)
an interesting note is that despite what it had seemed judging by earlier systems, the years first system is of tropical origin, having exited Africa around July 18 and was the system near Puerto Rico about a week ago

Here's the first discussion:-
** WTNT41 KNHC 312031 ***
TCDAT1
TROPICAL DEPRESSION ONE DISCUSSION NUMBER 1
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
5 PM EDT SAT JUL 31 2004
THE LOW PRESSURE AREA OFF THE NORTHEAST FLORIDA COAST HAS SHOWN
INCREASING CONVECTIVE ORGANIZATION THIS AFTERNOON...WITH SATELLITE
INTENSITY ESTIMATES OF 30 KT FROM AND 25 KT FROM SAB. THUS...
ADVISORIES ARE BEING INITIATED ON THE SYSTEM AS TROPICAL DEPRESSION
ONE WITH 25 KT WINDS. WHILE THE DEPRESSION HAS A LARGE CYCLONIC
ENVELOPE...THE CENTER WAS VERY POORLY DEFINED ON THE RECONNAISSANCE
FLIGHT THIS MORNING...AND IT WOULD NOT BE A SURPRISE IF THE FLIGHT
SCHEDULED FOR 0000Z FINDS THE SAME.
THE INITIAL MOTION IS A SOMEWHAT UNCERTAIN 315/8. THE DEPRESSION IS
CURRENTLY BEING STEERED BY THE WESTERN END OF THE SUBTROPICAL
RIDGE...WHILE WATER VAPOR IMAGERY AND LARGE-SCALE MODELS SHOW
DEEP-LAYER TROUGHING OVER THE CENTRAL UNITED STATES MOVING EASTWARD.
ALL GUIDANCE SHOWS THE CYCLONE RECURVING NORTHEASTWARD AHEAD OF THE
TROUGH...WITH THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCES IN THE GUIDANCE BEING HOW
FAST IT MOVES AFTER RECURVATURE. THE OFFICIAL FORECAST TRACK WILL
CALL FOR THE SYSTEM TO TURN NORTHWARD AT ABOUT 24 HR AND
NORTHEASTWARD AFTER 36 HR...BRUSHING THE SOUTHEASTERN U.S. COAST.
WHILE THE OFFICIAL TRACK CALLS FOR LANDFALL IN NORTH CAROLINA...
SEVERAL MODELS RECURVE THE CYCLONE SHARPLY ENOUGH TO KEEP THE
CENTER OFFSHORE.
THIS LARGE AND POORLY DEFINED SYSTEM WILL LIKELY TAKE TIME TO
CONSOLIDATE EVEN THOUGH CONDITIONS GENERALLY APPEAR FAVORABLE FOR
INTENSIFICATION. THE INTENSITY FORECAST THUS CALLS FOR SLOW
STRENGTHENING UNTIL THE SYSTEM REACHES THE COAST. WHAT
INTENSIFICATION MAY OCCUR AFTER THE CYCLONE CLEARS THE U.S. EAST
COAST IS QUESTIONABLE...AS THE LARGE SCALE MODELS DISAGREE ON
WHETHER IT WILL DISSIPATE OR STRENGTHEN DURING INTERACTION WITH THE
WESTERLIES. FOR NOW...THE INTENSITY FORECAST WILL COMPROMISE
BETWEEN THE EXTREMES AND KEEP A STEADY 40 KT UNTIL
EXTRATROPICAL TRANSITION.
THE PROXIMITY TO THE COAST REQUIRES A TROPICAL STORM WATCH TO BE
ISSUED FOR PORTIONS OF THE COASTS OF NORTH AND SOUTH CAROLINA AT
THIS TIME. A TROPICAL STORM WARNING MAY BE REQUIRED IN A LATER
ADVISORY.
FORECASTER BEVEN
FORECAST POSITIONS AND MAX WINDS
INITIAL 31/2100Z 30.6N 78.6W 25 KT

Sounds like Alex is on his way.

Here is the biggest thing I was thinking. I have always heard and been told that you cant really predict where a depression will go because of it being too weak. What changes this way of thinking for this storm? I mean the %'s say it will go to the carolina's. Am I wrong in thinking that?

Alex might be a possibility depending on how long the system stays over the water and not move inland.

It will probably reach tropical storm strength, since it has some time before it reaches land, and even then it is forecast to recurve out to sea, so it will have a chance. It's just nice to finally have something to track!
How's the champagne Phil?

Yes, Cycloneye - it's looking pretty interesting out there. How much longer until we meet Bonnie? (Whenever she arrives, I think I'll focus on Alex for now.
