tropical depression four

#1 Postby willjnewton » Tue Aug 22, 2006 10:24 am

I know that tropical depression as of right now is currently weak and disorganized, but I heard that based on the national hurricane centers 11:00am forecast track, it is becoming more and more likely to affect the east coast in the next couple of weeks than being more FISH??is that true, please explain

No one has said that it is becoming more of an east coast threat at this time. Still expected to go fishing.

its one of those cases where if it remain really weak, like Chris did, it might trend more West. If it gets stronger then Id say it would definitely go fishing.

No Will...you hear wrong. The NHC did not mention anything in their discussion or track that points to the East Coast.

You can see the updated models on the main thread. They all go out to sea.

Will there is little chance of this system making it to the US. Nothing is impossible but IMO the chances are close to zero at this time. Of course we will keep checking the models and our own storm2k mets are monitoring this system as well :wink:

Will This iis a good one for you to follow and learn as you go. As far as it coming to the east coast I would give it a 50/50 chance. For it is weak and It has alot of dry air to deal with on the corse it is on. IMO it will not turn like they are calling for But you have to remmber all the cool fronts coming down might just keep it out to sea. Just keep watching and ask when you need some help

Will there is still the possibility it could be a west-runner if it remains weak. The NHC guidance is split between some models that bring a weaker system westward and other models that turn it more NW and then N due to southerly shear.

It still may not be a fish.

There is always the possibility of it threatening U.S. interests if it remains on its westwardly track, but I would expect a northern recurve as history has shown us with these types of storms.

I still think there is a possibility it may not be a fish. Its definitely not set in stone that it is a fish but the chances are that it will eventually be a fish given the lattitude that it is at and from what climatology says.

Yep, I'd venture to say its probably about 60-70 percent chance it will be a fish and/or deteriorate from SAL/shear.
