Well actually it gets caught up..I doubt this solution though but it does raise an eyebrow that the ridge could be in a weakening phase

Gets caught up in the trough and strung out....now that is an interesting solution. If it slows enough in the BOC, the incoming trough could pick it up....this is eerily similar to Alex last year :lol:

wxman57 wrote:Similar setup to Alex of last year (steering current-wise) as far as the model projections for next week, but a good bit less moisture and no circulation evident on MIMIC TPW loops. I don't tend to get very excited about models predicting development 7-10 days or more out, as was the case early last week for today's "hurricane in the Gulf". But it does bother me that the models haven't shown any signs of dropping the development just 4 days before the predicted development on Monday. If the 12Z runs don't show any signs of backing off, then I will be a bit more concerned that they may be on to something. At this point, I'm thinking 20-30% chance of development early next week. Still well below 50-50, but chances are increasing.


Could it be that the models are so stuck on a "ghost" that it might drop off in two or three days? Is it unusual for the majority of the models to stuck on just one feature?

Conditions seem pretty good for development right now. The radar out of brownsville appears to show a circulation but still over land. What will be telling is when this system seperates from the front that it is attached to now. Would not be surprised if it is mentioned in the 2pm advisory.

Going to be interesting next week for sure!!


Meantime, need to just keep an eye at the tail end of this trough off the coast of south TX. Would not take much to get something organized there if convection persists IMO!

12z Canadian is strong but has a stout ridge in place. Looking over the models, conditions looks very favorable in the BOC.

I noticed the convection building off Tex/Mex but initially thought it was just shear lift from the upper level trough. The circulation over Texas isn't at the surface is it? The ends of troughs can work there way down to the surface and develop provided there is not too much shear but it usually takes a while.

No, nothing indicating a low at the surface. But like you pointed out, tail end of a trough and if it moves over the GOM and convection increases and persists then things could get interesting. Many if's, but still something to watch the next couple days.

If this develops,will it take the same track as last year's Alex? As it has been said here,the ridge or lack of will be the key on having a track more south or not.

From this afternoon's HPC discussion:

AT LOWER
LATITUDES...THE 12Z CANADIAN SHIFTED SOUTH TOWARDS THE REMAINDER
OF THE DETERMINISTIC GUIDANCE WITH LOW PRESSURE FCST TO TRACK
ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST GULF OF MEXICO NEXT WEEK. THE 17Z NHC/HPC
COORDINATION CALL LED TO EXCELLENT CONTINUITY WITH THIS SYSTEMS
TRACK CONSIDERING THE UNCERTAINTY...WHICH BRINGS THE SYSTEM
TOWARDS THE NORTHEAST MEXICAN COAST NEXT THURSDAY.

A track more southward than what hurricane Alex did is very posible. Maybe like the 2000 hurricane Keith one.

all depends on the ridge I guess where this future wave/system ends up.

Can someone show me a sat pic of the system right now? I don't even know where it is?

Mods--Can we split this topic into another thread because this is going to get confusing if something gets going off of Brownsville like it appears may be happening. Just a thought.
