Is 98L our next depression?

[Josephine96]

I heard 1 of our local mets say that 98L has a pretty good shot of being our next tropical depression?

Personally.. I hope it does because I like when it's busy. Also, any idea on if they'll send recon out tomorrow?

hmmmm, is there not already a topic for this?

It may be.. But I was asking a simple question Not necessarily starting an incessant thread ya know..

John is entitled to ask a question even if it's a new thread.

okay well I give it about a 20% chance

LOL.. Thank God for no need for divine interjection lol..

I'd say about maybe 30-40 percent and probably a TD or weak TS for South Texas. {Just a hypothetical guess not a forecast} lol

This thing has got to pull away from the coast in order for anything to form. It hasn't done that yet. I think if a low doesn't form further East under the convection its gosse is cooked as far as tropical development. AS stated elsewhere I think that much of TX will get mucho rain from this.

agreed....If a LLC can from underneith some convection to its east we could have player. Weak / sheared systems like this are always hard to pinpoint a center. Some have mulitple centers or they reform under new convection. I thought I saw a LLC being spit out earlier today into Mex.

Tonight will be the key. Personally, I am getting tired of draining my pool and cat sized mosquitos here in Pearland. I could do without rain for awhile.

That darn wave is buried in the BOC lol.. It needs to get a little further north away from land..

[Wpwxguy]

Its not at all uncommon to see the circulation center of weak systems relocate itself to areas of better convection. I don't think it'll amount to much if this does not happen. Its got to get away from the land mass.

Just wait and see as always Just remember what happened in August 2004, It aint gonna be quiet soon

60/40 shot at a depression; maybe 35-45% shot at being Chris. That could go up or down. If it was gonna happen, late morning tomorrow might be a reasonable guess.

I give it a 35% chance as of now, if it holds together overnight I'll up those chances.

[Extremeweatherguy]

I think it has a 40% of becoming a "real" depression and a 75% chance of it becoming strong enough for the NHC to call it a depression (even though it may lack a surface low).

[HouTXmetro]

Hmm..like most BOC potential systems this year, a big tease

[Dean4Storms]

I don't see it happening, too much shear and too close to land.

Kind of like a fat lady with a wig in a gale trying to perform a ballet!

I agree...I almost tend to hate BOC systems. They never really seem to get going until there smashing into Mexico.

I will wait for the diurnal maximum to give you the answer!!!

Last year, this would've been a Hurricane by now

Last year, this would've been a Hurricane by now

And, how do you figure that? What hurricane formed in the BOC last year?
