hard to tell. seems the center is still on the southern side of all the convection. being that center is not that well defined ( probably from the recent outflow boundaries ) a center reformation could be happening. just have to watch.

Re: ATL: FOURTEEN - Models
When you say it's showing good "ridging" , what does this imply?
Also, when a trough is mentioned does that generally act like a border that it can't cross typically?

Tropical systems follow differences in pressure in the atmosphere so a ridge is a high pressure and trough is low pressure. ridging typically means they cant go through it but around it. For troughs they pick up TC and eventually merge with them..

Re: ATL: FOURTEEN - Models
Good ridging usually means that a high pressure area is getting stronger, expanding westward, which means that steering currents for storms will ususally go more westward as well. This is opposed as to a low pressure trough that usually erodes a high pressure ridge making it weaker which usually recedes eastward and thus the steering currents for storms would change to a more northward and then northeast direction.

Re: ATL: FOURTEEN - Tropical Depression - Discussion
For those of you keeping score at home, this puts us just two storms behind 2005 (Ophelia had just formed today), or if you prefer, six days (2005!Maria formed on the 1st of September). Looks like we'll hit the Greeks this year in an endless parade of rather sad tropical storms

So if the current movement is west as the NHC says and according to them its expected to remain moving in that direction for the next two days why is the cone showing a WNW type movement between today and tomorrow? (I think that's WNW)

Re: ATL: MARIA - Models
^^ Thanks everyone. Grasping ridges and troughs has been much harder than I imagined over the years here. I appreciate your descriptive words, as I'm sure other less weather mature individuals do too.

True West is 270 degrees, Maria is moving at 280 degrees which isn't quite WNW but more North of West.
This site has a picture of the degrees
