Saturday - 10PM Update
The easterly shear over Irene has relaxed quite a bit and the Tropical Storm is now drifting to the north - currently near 31N 69.5W. The has reformed over the center, so some intensification is still possible during the next 24 hours. Strong westerlies to the north of the cyclone should take Irene out to sea in a couple of days - with no direct impact on any land mass, i.e., I am now a lot more comfortable with the 'all clear' call.
TD 10 is fighting southerly shear and for the next couple of days it will encounter a hostile upper air environment - intensification, if any, will be slow. The system is moving slowly westward, however if the system survives the next couple of days (and it might), a west northwest to northwest motion seems likely.
An active wave in the central Caribbean along 70W is moving to the west northwest. The wave is disorganized and, at the moment , upper level conditions are not favorable for development - but the system is certainly worth keeping an eye on.

We still have Irene but now TD 10 has formed, and as of now may be something for the Southeast US coast to watch.

What is the chance that TD 10 will survive the trough and hitting the east coast?

Way too far out to guess about that right now. I would give it a 60/40 chance and I am sure some of our Mets will add their thoughts on this but we have a long way to go yet.

If it were to become a tropical storm, it'll get the name Jose. It, like many of the storms that came before it, would be the earliest 10th named storm in recorded history in the Atlantic basin. The previous record for the earliest 9th storm has yet to pass as well, continuing the rapid pace of storms that this season has been on since the beginning of June.
Today also marks the one year anniversary of Hurricane making landfall in Southwest Florida. is the second costliest hurricane on record in the United States (unadjusted figures), having resulted in over $15 billion dollars in damage. Hurricane Andrew of 1992 remains in the topspot at near $30 billion dollars. 's name was retired, and rightfully so considering the damage it caused. Next time around, it'll be Colin in it's place.

TROPICAL DEPRESSION TEN DISCUSSION NUMBER 1
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
5 PM EDT SAT AUG 13 2005 (edited~danielw)
CURRENTLY...THE DEPRESSION HAS A LARGE AREA OF CONVECTION WITH SOME CURVED BANDS AND OUTFLOW EXPANDING WESTWARD.
HOWEVER...THIS FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT MAY NOT LAST FOR LONG. UNANIMOULSY...ALL GLOBAL MODELS ARE DEVELOPING A RATHER STRONG AND UNUSUALLY DEEP UPPER-TROUGH BETWEEN THE LEEWARD ISLANDS AND THE DEPRESSION. THIS TROUGH WILL LIKELY PRODUCE A HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT FOR THE DEPRESSION
TO STRENGTHEN SIGNIFICANTLY. SHIPS MODEL FORECAST A GRADUAL INTENSIFICATION...AND THE THAT FOR THE PAST FEW RUNS MADE THIS DISTURBANCE A STRONG HURRICANE...NO LONGER STRENGTHENS THE CYCLONE.
DUE TO THE UPPER-TROUGH...THE OFFICIAL INTENSITY FORECAST CALLS FOR SLIGHT INCREASE IN THE WINDS ONLY...WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME STRENGTHENING AFTER 3 DAYS...WHEN THE UPPER-TROUGH MOVES OUT OF THE AREA. ALL THIS IS VALID IF THE DEPRESSION SURVIVES THE NEXT DAYS...
Bold emphasis added~danielw

For what it is worth, I watched Joe Bastardi today and he says that TD10 is very likely to head towards the FL east coast....but based o h9is and Irene predictions...that may be a good thing
-------------------- Erin 95 , Opal 95, Ivan 04, Dennis 05, and that's enough!!!!

Why do you listen to Joe Bastardi his track record been bad for the last few years, but guess, people like to hear the wild side and he good at that.

Let me be the first to say"No Way Jose". Central and South Florida will hopefully win the lottery on 0 direct hits from hurricanes this season. We are 0 out of 9 right now. We are having tremendous thunderstorms in the afternoons and they are exciting and wet enough to cool us. I have a question about an area of disturbed weather in the southern Caribbean tonight. If that should form into a storm, would it influence the direction of 10 (whatever by then) ?

Is there something in the Caribbean that could form and move into the Gulf later next week? I am not talking about TD 10 but another system. I heard something about it on the news here. Any information on that?

I watched JB's video too and i was quite disturbed when he pretty much wishcast this thing into the Fla east coast. He was using one of his maps and going from current position to the 288 hour position, which he seems to think will be South Fla.

You must be asking about the same system I am asking about. Anyone know anything about this one?

a picture tells a thousands words but I'll add just a few more...
the convection in the east/central caribbean is associated and interacting with the ULL just south of the tip of Fl digging down deep in the central caribbean...
convection with Irene if firing back up again... movement if any to the north as best as I can tell off this loop...
TD 10 does looks to be moving slowly to the west perhaps as the convection is getting blown off to the north
another little interesting cluster of storms SE of TD10... not sure what to make of it but at the moment it has as much convection as TD10.... things to watch but nothing of any concern... yet (a dial up connection might take some time to download this link.)

IRENE HAS BECOME A LITTLE BETTER ORGANIZED DURING THE PAST 6 HOURS WITH A STRONG BURST OF DEEP CONVECTION HAVING DEVELOPED OVER AND
SOUTH OF THE WELL-DEFINED LOW-LEVEL CENTER. A 13/2232Z SSMI OVERPASS DEPICTED A LARGE BUT CLOSED EYE FEATURE IN THE LOW-LEVELS...BUT THE MID- AND UPPER-LEVEL CIRCULATIONS WERE STILL OPEN TO THE NORTH. THE LAST RECON FLIGHT-LEVEL WIND DATA SUPPORTED 55-60 KT...SO WITH THE INCREASE IN DEEP CONVECTION SINCE THAT TIME...AN INTENSITY OF AT LEAST 60 KT SEEMS... ALTHOUGH IT COULD BE STRONGER.
IF THE CURRENT CONVECTIVE TREND CONTINUES...

Hey guys,
Judging by the western atlantic surface temp's and the high ridge, #10 worries me. Could it be another Isabele? What do you think about the business coming off of the Sahara right now??

Interesting little flare up se of TD10.... i would watch the carribean a little more right now.... the mid-upper feature over the southern tip of florida or keys moving west in GOM. Which i think is about to setup a pattern, and allow for favorable developement closer than we think..... i think the high is about to kick in and look like last year....this year we have had few systems that get into it, and find the weakness and move bak out to see......but i think thats about to change.....seems like everything that goes north of the islands, will miss the east coast....but that not to say one system later on might make it and turn left..... if anything gets going within next week, i would suspect it will be in Carribean and southern GOM....things will get very interesting in western carribiean and GOM in next few days....well see if i am right....

Where are you getting your info? I checked site and the only 11pm update is the strike possibilities. BTW - Old Sailor never said the storm was heading west.
