Re: ATL: INVEST 94L - Discussion
Cloud tops are warming, convection is weakening. I haven't seen any evidence of a well-defined LLC with organized convection. Thus, no TD.

I agree, it looks as though it may be about to go poof here soon. Though, I do believe that a LLC, rather weak I might add, does exist. Doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things.

I'm loving these simultaneous "It's dying" and "It's strengthening" expert takes.

Center is very clear and well defined. Radar showing convection building and curving around center offshore. Convection is waning farther from center while building closer to the llc. Signs of organizing even more.

unapologetic member of squad 57 here. please don't waste a name or number on this. It sure is putting up a fight though...so credit must be given..Hopefully it runs out of time and doesn't cause much trouble for anyone...both of which seem likely outcomes at this point..

First time in a while I see the storm discussion thread have more activity than the models thread.

94L looks better than TD 5 in EPAC. May not have a well defined circulation but at least convection is much closer to its coc.

I think you'll always see those differences in the early development of a system - that's what makes this site so fun for us weather nerds!

Can easily see low level streamlines. If it wasn't for a trough to pick it up soon, the GFS solution from about a week ago where this ends up in the gulf and blows up could have materialized.

Re: ATL: INVEST 94L - Discussion
I see a broad poorly-defined low west of the weakening convection. It looked better 6 hours ago. Saying it looks better than the East Pac TD isn't saying much, and it's incorrect. The East Pac TD at least does have a better-defined LLC. 94L is mostly SE wind with nothing in the west side.

Cloud tops are cooling rapidly on those towers on the NW tip of Andros.
The sudden warming of the cloud tops farther out may be indicative of an impulse UL divergence due to a sudden increase of updraft hitting the top of the troposphere. This is evident as how they dispersed out radially from the CoC as though hit by a shock wave.

Not one ship to the south of the weak LLC to confirm any west winds, very shallow waters to the west of Andros Island, the reason why.

Yeah waning convection on the outer bands has led to convection firing right around the center.

Re: ATL: INVEST 94L - Discussion
Very easy to see on VIS, the LL in-feed tightening up just off the west coast of Andros.
Towers firing right on top of it.

Re: ATL: INVEST 94L - Discussion
Certainly breezier here than it was 6/7 hours ago when it was still, humid, and hot! But this looks like another one of those partially sheared, borderline TD (or eventually, at most, TSs) that seem to always turn NW then N then NE off the east coast. If it were a month from now and this thing was moving slower? Then maybe a more "interesting" scenario ...

Re: ATL: INVEST 94L - Discussion
I'm not convinced NHC will upgrade 94L to a TD with the recent decrease in convection.

Re: ATL: INVEST 94L - Discussion
A couple of small cells firing over and near northern Andros. Broad, poorly-defined LLC is only 90 miles from Miami and you wouldn't know it in the coastal obs. This is no TD, and it has probably already peaked. Chantal will come in August.
