Looking foreward to WXman57's thoughts on this this morning. Also noted upper low just south of the FL Panhandle drifting slowly west south west. Any thoughts on how this might/might not affect this system??. If any thing it could bring alot of rain to Florida this weekend if it were to move into the Eastern Gulf. But most likley that will not happen.

My personal opinion is I've seen more than one persisting disturbance with this kind of shape and intensity beat NHC's "unfavorable" comments before. Especially in this area.

I'm watching the north coast of Honduras (south of the big blob) for an LLC...I see what could be low level turning there (the high/cold clouds tops are not obscuring this area)...Also, systems tend to "tighten up" in the Gulf of Honduras because they have land on 2 sides (similar to the Bay of Campeche effect)....we'll know more once the visibles start rolling in :)

I think that ULL North of the system would help enhance it but not close enough to disrupt. however, the one to West seems to be aiding the convection but disrupting development but that ULL is slowly moving away. I want to see if it sustains it self in the next day.

Pretty doggone impressive. Ship reporting 33 mph sustained winds and it's not even in the middle of the system but rather just outside the NE section.

The NHC is just not concerned about this disturbance at all. I noticed on some of NWS discussions that a "cool" front is expected by the models to drop down south into the GOM in about a week. The sooner we get these fronts the better off our chances of preventing any tropical mischief along the NW and Central Gulf coast.
The NE GOM is another story. Anyway, I keep on reading how the "real" season is about to get started but here we are August 22nd 2006 and all we have is a tropical depression several thousands mile away and nothing else. As of now, I still expect at least 3-4 hurricanes from now until October 5th. Let's hope they all form in the Atlantic and stay out there.

Looking at first visibles this morning. There does appear to be anti-cyclone spin to the clouds but there is a big outflow boundary coming north from the thunderstorms and cloud tops have warmed significantly.

Our local mets say there watching this system and that's about it. I guess if the NHC see's any formation they will put up an invest right?

According to CIMSS wind analysis there is absolutely no tropical system whatsover there. No even a trace of 850 vorticity. http://cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/tropic/real- ... 8vor4.html

I need to let you people know that the wind associated was with an outflow boundary. The pressure rose when it should have been naturally falling and a abrupt and strong change in wind direction is not a typical characteristic of a developing tropical system. I think that this has a chance in the S GOM if it gets there in tact.

Where are your local mets? Just curious as your location isn't listed in your profile, so we don't know. :)

Something to keep an eye on. The Tropical Wave now near Jamaica (At least the northern extent) should catch up to this area of disturbed weather in the NW Carib. tonight/tomorrow time frame. It will be interesting to see what if anything it does to enhance low level convergence.

Just as I said a couple of days ago...

A CARIBBEAN SEA TROPICAL WAVE IS PASSING PUERTO RICO ALONG

The NAM has finally finished its 12z run. Here's 84 hours out. It shows a swirl approaching the Mobile/Pensacola area, but I don't see any surface low pressure reflection for it. Earlier runs of the NAM had this going near the Florida Big Bend area.
