ATL: Tropical Depression Dolly

[wxman57]

I'm not saying that this system will develop (not that it matters, but I think it eventually will) but it is interesting to note that several Texas hurricanes with "C" names have come out from the same basic Caribbean region before going ashore on the central Tx coastline.

'Canes Carla, Celia, and Claudette come to mind.

Odds are it'll be named "Dolly".

[Matt-hurricanewatcher]

If in that is a BIG IF it gets named it will likely be Dolly. I believe that the last Dolly sucked, So no fear.

[KWT]

Yeah I agree wxman57, I can imagine this taking a little longer because it has to still work its way down to the surface bu I'd imagine its only a matter of time before that does occur IMO.

So did Charley 6 years earlier...then look what happend in 04'

[Smurfwicked]

Oh dear god, I hadn't even thought about that until now

At least I can walk to work if necessary. I can't imagine being a commuter if a system entered the gulf with gas already at $4.09 a gallon.

I know, and I'm sure everyone was happy to hear the price of oil was starting to fall the other day I'd hate to something this drive it back up. Regardless of when it happens its almost a sure thing to happen sometime this summer anyways.

How does the last Dolly impact this "Possibly-Dolly"?

Yeah, I was just thinking that... if it ever gets named(with the history of this system who knows)

As did Katrina for that matter!

I do agree this will be Dolly if it can ever get going, still no certainties that even that will occur IMO but we will ahve towatch, wonder what Dmax will bring?!

Actually it has fallen substantially for 4 days in a row. Lets hope this system does not[b][/b] make it into the Gulf.
Lets keep those prices headed

I could swear that upper level low above 94L is being dissipated by convection from 94L. Pro-met thoughts?

[Ivanhater]

Looks sooo much better than the mess it was the past couple days!

[HouTXmetro]

Maybe I'm looking at the wrong thing but this is looking less impressive compared to earlier.

I agree - less impressive now.

[Ivanhater]

Well I'd have to disagree...today is the first time is has sustained convection this long and continues to do so..looks like a go for this weekend IMO

Agreed. My attention is mostly shifting to 96L/likely TD 3 now. I've had enough of waiting for this mess to do something.

[Frank P]

I would also respectfully disagree that it's looking worse, it's at least holding its own, and latest AVN IR loop shows the convection building more towards the center of rotation in the NE quad.. still not there yet though

This system is suffering from ED. It's been on the verge for about 5 straight days but can't finish.

[GeneratorPower]

What is UP with the SSD floater on 94L. I think the guy who repositions the floater is asleep at the wheel. Sheesh.

I didn't do it.

What on earth is this little curved cluster here? Banding? Something else?
