TD 5 becoming better organized

#1 Postby Vortex » Mon Jul 11, 2005 1:06 pm

Over the last few hours TD has continued to become better organized. Banding features are noted and the LLC is underneath the deep convection. Outflow continues to improve...IMO we have Emily--probablly a 45mph storm....

also seems to my untrained eye that IT, (not she), is trying to gain some to latitude

The more organized it gets the further north it will go...

I forecast this last night, hopefully it won't get too strong.

If it gets stronger today quickly then I wouldnt rule out a Frances scenario.

As she organizes the trend of a more northerly component is very evident this afternoon...At this point my model of choice is the GFDL. I think it has a good handle on Emily at this point.

Looks like the TD still has some vertical alignment issues.

I agree. Looking good now. 50 mph wouldnt surprise me by the end of the day.

Sure looks to me like it has gained a little bit af latitude too. Part of that may be an illusion caused by the burst of convection in the NW quadrant, though.

I'm impatiently awaiting that 5pm advisory. :-)

Looks to me it is continuing on a Westward Course but you are seeing it wrapping around. Thats what gives the illusion of a more Northerly Motion.

I think the core has certainly taken a jog a little north. I suppose the overall blob is still going toward the west. I do think things are looking better for this system, warmer SSTs, light shear ahead...

Latest Dvorak numbers:

11/1745 UTC 10.7N 45.3W T2.5/2.5 05

She's a TS with 40mph winds, according to this.

11AM position 10.3N 44.7W
Dvorak 12:45 10.7N 45.3W

That shows .4N and .6W or a 305 heading (approx)
