Not looking too shabby right now. Maybe the thing still has a trick up its sleeve?

This is starting to remind me of chris. Convection blows up and then dies off. Then blows up and then dies off. I wouldnt be surprised if they do find tropical force winds when recon goes in there, bt only weak.

they are both very similar due to the conditions that have been in that area.

Yes convection is looking better but, no west winds from that bouy down there reported really... That's not to say there couldn't be a small circulation under that blow up that looks to be pretty consistent ....

This is the first blob to impress me. Looks like the flow it's embedded in has it on the fast track to the West. I don't see much to pull it North of Jamaica if even that far.

Look at my last post. It doesn't appear to have LLC now.

Thanks 44 you must have posted that that while I was typing. I'm in and out a lot forgive me.

I'm not even going to open my mouth and say "it's looking better" anymore, because everytime I say that I have to insert foot. My lips are zipped.......

Should keep watching those peripheral cumulus clouds on the VIS over the next 12-24 to see if anything really starts to shape up. See a few signs of proto-organization afoot, but nothing to get :eek: over...yet. Nice blob ATTM, tho'.

If there are any clues to what the hurricane center is thinking right now...it's this.

They initialized the tracks at 30 knots. They haven't done that yet with this system. Every other run has been started at 25 knots.

We will know more in an hour I guess.

They must have repositioned the Floater, as this loop looks strange.

The LLC seems to be on the south side of the convection. The convection is being sheared north a little. There is no ULL chasing it so the convection may continue to increase in spurts. I finally broke down tyhis season and bought a radio shack 12 260 weather receiver to get updates in case this thing comes north towards Florida.

I don't think there is a closed LLC yet. If you look at the little low clouds ahead of the thunderstorms south of Barbados, you will see that they are still moving from east to west. You will want them to move from west to east to indicate a LLC is forming.

BAM-S might be the right model on that 12z map. I remember the NHC using that model with Chris as well.

That would not be good for Jamaica.
