ROCK wrote:I agree....though 99L looks to be consolidating more North ATTM. Maybe WX57 was on to something with a change in structure. Looks to be doing just that. The other one has lost some of its punch. Will be interesting to see if it maintains or continues to fizzle over night.


It would appear that the disturbance has undergone a significant change overnight. The rotation around 9N has dissipated. Remember that I had commented that it looked like an inverted tropical wave for the past few days? Looks more like a moderate to strong tropical wave now, but it's no longer inverted. I think the place to keep an eye on is near 13N/51W, up closer to the crest of the wave rather than down by 10.5N/50W (point where the 6Z models were initialized. But I see no rotation up there. That boundary that raced northward last evening is still racing northward. Convection is very minimal, as convergence is low. Certainly no development today. Looks very much like the wave ahead of it in the eastern Caribbean but with less convection.

The wave is heading into some weak SAL as it approaches the islands.

Queston is if it does develop and moves in the general direction that the GFDL sends it, does the trough grab it and push it out to sea or send it up the east coast, or miss it completely?

While I agree the place to look for possible development is farther north, there does not appear to be any LLC, just an open wave. I don't think it qualifies as an "Invest" any longer, unless the wave ahead of it and the wave near Africa are also declared "Invests", as both are stronger.

By the way, where is that thread with our hurricane predictions for 2006?

I was just taking a look at the latest visibles. I agree with you and wxman57 analysis this morning. The focus of this system's potential development will be further north.

Keep in mind that models increase a northeast shear across the Lesser Antilles and eastern Caribbean Monday and Tuesday which could be counterproductive to the future of this wave early next week. So even if slow development does occur, it would be at best a weak TD.

I was about to make that point. If this system tracks much farther northwest then it'll run right into the TUTT, and some very strong shear. I think it'll track westward just like the wave ahead of it. As it crosses the eastern Caribbean, thunderstorms will flare up to the north, southeast of the TUTT. But the storms will die out as the wave continues westward.

Remember that northward-moving boundary I noted last evening? It's reached that buoy. There is some low-level boundary tracking northward through the system. Not good for development.
