It seems as if NRL can't decide which one is 97L. Last night the front wave had more convection than the one behind and this morning it's just the opposite. I don't know what happened here...perhaps the second wave robbed the first one of it's convection...many times this happens in the tropics when two waves (or storms for that matter) get too close together. Shows what one has a stronger lower-level turning field, it's the second one (surprise ). NRL homepage has the satellite image focused on both waves...sounds like they're cheating . Anyhow, as slow as these things are moving anything could happen and there is likely to be lots of drama the next few days with these two waves that seem to be vying for position of "97L". It's either Bertha, brew, or bust for these guys.

Which system should be watched closer?
