ATL: DON - Remnant - Discussion
Moderator: S2k Moderators
Very interesting runs, I'd be amazed if that comes off however given its current presentation!
Still shows what may pccur down the line if conditions are better in the S.Gulf as expected.

I meant the models appear to be trending more towards Texas than yesterday.
Thanks that clears it up for me.

The 12Z GFDL and HWRF runs, and the FOX WRF run http://weather.myfoxtampabay.com/maps/W ... shear.html seem to bear this out. It has to stay south of Hispaniola and Cuba to have a chance.
I think it will stay south of Haiti and Cuba. Just looking at latest loops from NHC, looks like llc is becoming more apparent at the southern end of that expanding mass of convection. Perhaps just my imagination. Maybe a closer look would tell.

90L should keep moving should keep moving WNW at a fairly brisk pace thru at least the next 72hrs. After that it should begin to slow down as it reaches the NW Caribbean or SE GOM by Tuesday Evening.
Steering forecast thru 48hrs

Thru 72hrs

Just looked at the 12zGFDL and HWRF and they have a full blown hurricane by 84hrs. Its likely to bullish with the intensity but it looks like both models are trying to hint of what 90l could become.

Re: ATL: INVEST 90L - Discussion
But you know RGV, I'm not too surprised at that bullish model forecast for hurricane in 84 hours. LLC which we saw hints of yesterday is I think becoming quite a bit more pronounced at the southerly end of that convection in the Carribean. And I think the convection is beginning to get over the top of what looks like a burgeoning LLC too. I think the yellow marker may need to be upgraded pretty soon.

Re: ATL: INVEST 90L - Discussion
I think that development chances next 48 hours are minimal, perhaps 5%. But wait until it reaches the NW Caribbean in 3 days when convergence increases. That's when development chances go up considerably (Monday night/Tue). Recon may well be needed by Monday afternoon.

Re: ATL: INVEST 90L - Models
Wow, real close agreement on the model tracks. I don't recall them being like that for a system that hasn't developed yet.

Nice development of some fairly deep convection over and South East of PR the past few frames, still has a long way to go though.

Still skeptical of the model tracks due to the Tropical waves overall presentation right now.

I agree MGC, this thing is dead until it hits the GOM, then MAYBE it has a chance.

Wow, talk about agreement, I'd be very concerned if I were anywhere near the texas mexico border region....off you extrapolate the models looks to head towards the area just south of brownsville...but of course things can change.

wxman57 any thoughts you can share on 90L's future track.

I agree Chris. By my eye its around 16N66W. At any rate it does look like its making considerable progress today both in developing a circulation and in getting the convection over the top of that circulation. True, it may not develop until it reaches the W Carib, ( my earlier thoughts today said central Cuba area)but it looks like its definitely laying the groundwork today for tropical development.

Not even close...look below the convection as its being sheared out to the NE....low level to mid level vorticty...around 15N 65W...speed it up....

Yep, I see the shear too. Still looks like a circulation down there, and convection is increasing. Anyone know what the nearest pressure readings are now? Is there a weather station near by, or a buoy perhaps?

Re: ATL: INVEST 90L - Discussion
Wxman looks spot on. Convection is not a problem, the issue is the strong easterly flow over the eastern Caribbean right now not allowing a surface circulation to form. Once this slows in the Western Caribbean, the convection will be allowed to pop a surface low.

As usual, clear and concise. Thanks Wxman....
