SE Florida/Bahamas Development?

#1 Postby SouthFloridawx » Thu Jul 20, 2006 10:12 pm

The GFS/Nam/CMC/ is hinting at some vorticity off the coast of Florida within the next 72 Hours. In fact the NAM develops a closed low and moves out into the open Atlantic.

00Z NAM
http://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/pmb/nwprod ... loop.shtml

18Z GFS 850mb Vorticity
http://moe.met.fsu.edu/cgi-bin/gfstc2.c ... =Animation

12Z CMC 850mb Vorticity
http://moe.met.fsu.edu/cgi-bin/cmctc2.c ... =Animation

Let's see what happens in the 00Z model runs.

Yep good catch - I was looking out there tonight....looks like it is getting somewhat interesting although now it is just the northern edge of a tropical wave interacting with a ULL off Cape Canaveral...

A strong trough for this time of year will dig down into the EC of the US this weekened and turn whatever is there NE out to sea - at least it looks like that now

OVER CUBA DURING THE AFTERNOON...AND WERE ENHANCED BY OUTFLOW
BOUNDARIES THAT BLEW NORTH FROM OTHER CARIBBEAN CONVECTION. SINCE
SUNSET...A LARGE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY HAS PUSHED NORTH OVER THE STRAITS

According to Melbourne NWS they have the trough moving into the EGOM.

FRI-SUN...
INVERTED H85-H50 TROF AXIS OVER THE FL PENINSULA WILL PUSH INTO THE
ERN GOMEX THRU 00Z SAT...ALLOWING THE LCL STEERING FLOW TO SHIFT
FROM S TO SW. DLM MOISTURE ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE TROF WILL PUSH
ACROSS THE SRN HALF OF THE PENINSULA ON FRI...SETTING THE STAGE FOR
A WET WX SCENARIO THIS THRU THE END OF THE WEEK.

MEANWHILE...AN H85-H50 SHORTWAVE TROF IN THE LEE OF THE CANADIAN
ROCKIES WILL DIG ACROSS THE HIGH PLAINS UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF AN
80-90KT H25 JET MAX. THIS TROF WILL GRADUALLY MERGE WITH A BROADER
H85-H50 TROF OVER THE GREAT LAKES REGION...WITH THE COMBINED TROF
DIGGING ACROSS THE NATION`S MIDSECTION ON FRI. AS IT DOES...IT WILL
PASS OVER A BROAD/WEAK SFC TROF OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS...
EVENTUALLY INDUCING A NEW SFC LOW OVER THE APPALACHIAN REGION AROUND
12Z SAT.

First, this needs a LLC. Second, this needs some organization. And third, this needs TD force winds. So far this is far away from any possible development.

I was talking about the models hinting at development... never said any one of those things and I never said it was going to.

If something going to develop let it develop away from our coastline and be a fish.

I think what Matt was trying to say was Chris, the name of the next storm. I noticed he mispelled it last night.

This is not good. We are leaving out on a cruise to the Bahamas on Sat. We can't have anything going on there now!
