ATL: Tropical Depression Dolly

[Nimbus]

In the northwest quadrant of 94L it almost looks like a low level cloud circulation can be seen peeking out from underneath the convection. Could just be the apex of a sharp wave though.

WOW... this thing looks good.

Spit all over my screen..LOL

[Squarethecircle]

Looks like I missed this one too. I've got to stop flying virtual Learjets.

As impressive as it's ever looked. It's a very interesting day, to say the least.

That's funny! Where did you find that? And further more, how is everybody posting images like that? All I can do is post a link.

[KWT]

Hehe GeneratorPower that has been given a new lease of life!

wxman57, I agree just like so many systems the exact track seems to be very dependant on the exact strength this system is, the deeper it gets the more of a deeper steering current it will tap into and therefore the fuirther north it will get. I do agree that the southerly track option is the most likely one but we will have to wait and see, esp if it does make it across the Yucatan it may have good conditions in the BoC/GoM.

WOW it is so busy in the Tropics. I can't even keep up with what is going on

Yeah, and it's only July!

[Sanibel]

Continues to show better center organization.


I'd put the center near 14.7N-71W

WNW 280-285* or so.

[KWT]

Indeed Sanibel a nice little convective blob present now, cloud tops are weakening but I somewhat expected that as the day moves on over there. Also I agree looks about 280 right now. Recon will be most interesting!

[Normandy]

Some pretty good wind readings are being found by recon...If they close this off we will have Christobal most likely.

Any of the pro mets may answer this question.If 96L develops into a TD or more,will it have influence on 94L or whatever it may be?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Looking at the WV loop it's evident that there is no shear from the ULL working on the system at present. It's debatable if this will continue. I still think that the land mass to the south is inhibiting inflow and that once the system moves more west and north away from land that thie inflow will begin to establish itself and intensification will be rapid IF the ULL doesn't beigin to impart shear.

You mean Cristobal.

Great question Luis I wonder if it would pull 94L more north by creating a weakness. In that case South Florida needs to pay attention.
