Re: ATL: INVEST 97L - Models
Wondering if we could see a significant shift north if it develops quicker than expected. Models keep it really strung out until the Western Caribbean.

Re: ATL: INVEST 97L - Models
Some interesting intensity guidances... The majority shows it at least gaining TS strength. A few even show it becoming a Cat 3 major

not likely. Maybe even a farther south track if it develops quickly. HWRF is developing this quickly and it is one of the most southern models.
Given the deep layered ridging, I don't see a stronger system moving more north in the north term

Have the models handled ridges that far out well this year?

so shear going less and forecast from other day chart i not good reading this?
Correct. If the shear forecast from two days ago verified, 97L would currently be under 20+ knots of shear.
Current observed shear:
GFS and Euro for days have been showing that shear was not going to be a problem.

Re: ATL: INVEST 97L - Models
Based on the 0zGFS it seems to based on the 999mb into Northern Mexico it most likely is a hurricane with better resolution which also based on the GFS people of south Texas need to watch this and hopefully they don't get hurricane conditions

The 00z GFS ensemble mean is actually stronger than the operational:

Re: ATL: INVEST 97L - Models
By day 7 the 0zGFS Operational is a bit SW of the 0zGFS Ensemble Mean with regards to 97L....it also looks like a quite a few members are a bit robust with 97L! CMC still not developing this disturbance.

Re: ATL: INVEST 97L - Discussion
TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
200 AM EDT SUN JUL 31 2016
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
1. A fast-moving tropical wave is nearing the Lesser Antilles. Although
showers and thunderstorms are fairly well-organized, there are
currently no signs a closed surface circulation. However, this
system has the potential for some slow development during the next
couple of days, but the best chance for tropical cyclone formation
is likely to be by the early to middle part of next week when the
wave reaches the western Caribbean Sea. This system is expected to
bring locally heavy rains and gusty winds to portions of the Lesser
Antilles, Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico today. Shower and
thunderstorm activity should spread westward across the eastern
Caribbean Sea and Hispaniola by tonight and on Monday. Interests in
these areas should monitor the progress of this disturbance.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...40 percent
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...70 percent

Re: ATL: INVEST 97L - Models
ECMWF looks to initialize the storm too far north. At least I think so.

Re: ATL: INVEST 97L - Discussion
I think that if this can make it in the Yucatan pass between the YP and Cuba as either a strong TS or Cat. 1 I think the possibility is there for it to explode to some catastrophic if the weakness in the Ridge over Texas actually does pan out and opens up it could be a problem from anywhere from Galveston and New Orleans. If the weakness doesn't form it still might be a descent storm for Brownsville South. I think in between Brownsville and Galveston will not see the landfall. If it starts slowing down and does stay over open water and go towards the North there is I say a 70% chance of being at least a Cat 4 for a little bit if not more. If it stays south it shouldn't be any higher than Cat. 2.

Re: ATL: INVEST 97L - Discussion
Euro is not bringing this into the GoM, and I think Harvey in 2011 could be a good analog system.

GFS pushed development back a full day over the course of a single run, and is much further south (closer to the Euro) so this is looking less likely to make it into the Gulf. Euro is likely on to something here, and the main low-level 'spin' seems to be outrunning the convection to the south and west due to the forward speed.

Re: ATL: INVEST 97L - Models
Euro much more realistic as the far south BOC is a favored place lately though i think it wont get that far north.

Re: ATL: INVEST 97L - Models
It was the UKMET that started this southward trend in the track yesterday. The 00Z UKMET still shows this never making it into the BOC with redevelopment in the EPAC:
