A system with a little bit of convection with a weak LLC is upgraded. But a strong LLC. But is getting its covnection sheared off. In has 40 to 45 knot winds is not on quickscats is not? This is serious quastion...This system has a warm core with a LLC at the surface backed up by quickscats. Why is it less liked then the one above which is weaker?

This doe's not make any sense to me at all.

Up to 30 knots with 1008 pressure. But the quickscats show it stronger.

TWO 5:30 AM:

A VIGOROUS TROPICAL WAVE LOCATED MIDWAY BETWEEN AFRICA AND THE
LESSER ANTILLES IS MOVING WESTWARD AT 10 TO 15 MPH. THUNDERSTORM
ACTIVITY ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM IS CURRENTLY POORLY
ORGANIZED...AND UPPER-LEVEL WINDS ARE AT BEST MARGINALLY FAVORABLE
FOR DEVELOPMENT. THERE IS SOME POTENTIAL FOR THE SYSTEM TO BECOME
A TROPICAL DEPRESSION DURING THE NEXT DAY OR SO...AS IT MOVES
TOWARD WEST-NORTHWEST OVER THE OPEN ATLANTIC.


Some good news for the system, shear is expected to relax.

A ball of convection is forming right over the LLC. It would not take long if it where to keep developing to make this something.

ok this is not necessarily what I think will happen, but does anybody get the feeling that 97L might slip under the weakness??? could this be an east coast threat?

Nothing new. We ask for the shear to relax a little bit for this system to develop into Lee. Yes, into Lee. Because if it has been able to develop into a 35 mph low pressure system with 30 knots of wind shear on top, then if shear relaxes it seems logical for winds to increase, and just a minor increase will take this system to tropical storm status.

sorry but the SHIPS doesnt mean much... I'm pretty sure it strengthens anything as long as it doesnt interact with land... but I suppose it IS something to note that the SHIPS had 97L at 75kts at 120hrs last run and now is up to 85kts at 120hrs

Don't take into the account the SHIPS AT ALL.

If it were for the SHIPS, this system would have been a hurricane a LOOONG time ago. Ever since this became an invest, SHIPS has strengthened the system markedly despite of the hostile environment. The same thing happened with TD 10. I'm starting to lose confidence on this model.

BTW, don't get too excited about conditions becoming favorable in the near future. Check out your favorite Water Vapor Loop and you'll see a trough (similar to the one that killed TD 10), that is dropping southward just to west of the system. I have backed off on any development during the next 24 hours. It will be more like the next few days at the earliest.

Even if the system takes a definite turn northward, it will have to deal with a dropping ULL to its NE...

Forgot to add that as long as the storm has its vigorous LLC exposed like it is now, it will continue moving generally W-WNW. I don't expect it to move northward in the near future. Yes, the convection has moved more northward, but you have to look at the core of the system, which is an explosed LLC a few hundred miles to the west of the convection and under some VERY dry air in the mid-levels.

While it will be traversing through a shear axis over the next few days, once it moves further west, it may encounter a more favorable environment and...who knows? we might have a similar track to Irene if this trend continues.

Steve Lyons said 97L has winds of 40mph. Why hasn't it been upgraded? I'm confused. Is is because its no threat to land at this point?

perhaps because its so far out and not bothering anybody. usually when that is the case, they just tend to take their time and are more relaxed in terms of upgrading.

When they get Katrina out of the way, and 97L gets closer to the islands (big if) they will get around to poor old 97L. :lol:

97L is almost completely ignored, but in storm2k.org everyone cares for all systems no matter how far or weak they are

If they upgrade tonight or tomorrow, it will based only and solely on the fact that this has been a depression over the past day or so. If they want continuity, they should not upgrade it now, since it is a disorganized mess. What are they going to say when they upgrade? The disturbance has become better organized today? Don't think so...

Moisture levels seem to be improving because it has pulled some moisture from the ITCZ northward, but the wind shear remains strong. Additional development (from what it has been over the past 24 hours) will be slow, if any, during the next few days until it gets past the shear axis zone.
