Here's a recent (very large) picture of 91L. Just one or two weakening thunderstorms. It appears to have opened up into a wave. Going downhill fast:

Man, only a few hours ago it looked like it might have become a depressoin later tonight or in the morning, now it looks like what's left of it is falling apart.

Maybe we are jinxing it. Perhaps we should all just ignore it, lol....
If it could talk it would say, "ha ha, fooled ya again!"

NEXT!!!

A TROPICAL WAVE LOCATED ABOUT 550 MILES EAST OF THE WINDWARD
ISLANDS IS MOVING WESTWARD AT ABOUT 20 MPH. THERE ARE NO LONGER ANY
INDICATIONS OF A SURFACE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM....AND THUNDERSTORM
ACTIVITY HAS DECREASED. ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO
GRADUALLY BECOME LESS CONDUCIVE FOR A TROPICAL DEPRESSION TO FORM
DURING THE NEXT DAY OR TWO. HOWEVER...THE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO
SPREAD SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WITH STRONG GUSTY WINDS IN SQUALLS
OVER PORTIONS OF THE LESSER ANTILLES BY LATE WEDNESDAY OR EARLY
THURSDAY.

I think more than anything the models refusal to develop this system has a large part in the sudden tune change from 5:30 TWO, hope they are right. I don't see how with the absence of visibles they suddenly came to the conclusion myself, it would help if they explained how they came to an abrubt turnaround other than the decrease in convection. A low does not evaporate that quickly.

Why did they issue a TCFA if it was going downhill like that? Weird.

I'm going to say this again...

US Navy products are NOT meant for public use. Their product just cause a bunch of you folks to go crazy like a cat near cat nip. Unfortunately, their product was meant as only a "heads up" for the "warfighter" and their "decision makers."

I hate to say this, but the average forecaster producing those products has very limited tropical forecasting experience. Many of the amatures on this site have more experience. I don't mean that as a knock on their abilities nor do I mean it to discredit their work, but unforunately it's the truth. Many of these forecasters have little "passion" for tropical weather and were put into this position.

...of course, that is not always the case. Remember that fine forecasters like Stacy Stewart have USN backgrounds...

I would leave the 91L in the title as most people would recognize that...

I think it was taken off the main page for a reason.

Looks like it hit an intruding airmass edge.


See if it bursts again before chalking up another Chris.
