as most of you know, I do not release these unless there is a better than 60% chance of a system becoming a TC and I think that this is alreeady a 30KT TD

Great discussion. I have a feeling the NHC feels the same way, but are just waiting for recon to confirm it.

TC =tropical cyclone. It's what we use at RSMAS when referring to a cyclone and the abbreviation I use when writing papers.

30KT is 35 m.p.h.

Yeah...I think it is a depression too. I would say there is a 95% chance of having a TD by the 21z advisory.

Yoda...I would almost venture out on a limb and say this will be Alex. I give it the same % chances...95%. If it makes TD this afternoon...then I believe we will be dealing with Alex sometime tomorrow.

well, I didnt say it has the potential to develop beyond a TD (which would likely be TD 2. As I've said before, 01L was used on Brazil's cane), because it has a poor chance. This should be Alex no later than tomorrow, IMO

Pretty high IMO. Nothing's ever certain in weather, but I think it's pretty close to that.

LOL.. ok. Now the real hard choice is...

1.) Where does this go?

and

2.) What will be its strength?


IMO... winds will be somewhere between 60-80 mph if given a good chance to develop.

Dont know yet... keep checking nwhhc for any new info is all I can really say at this time. I'll have more infor after recon and afternoon models.

However, SE East Coast with at least a strong TS is a good bet right now

I think GA/SC border area, sometime Sunday, with winds b/w 65-75 mph. That's a first guess but I haven't looked at anything yet...and data won't be good until it gets a little better organized and the models know its there.

hey thanks guys for all your hard work and effort. I appreciate it immensely. When will we know if it is a TD or a TS? At the 5:30 TWO? Or I heard on TWC after 2 PM?

Assuming it develops this afternoon, the 5:00pm ET advisory. It's possible we might get a Special Tropical Disturbance Statement before then though.

Ah ok. Interesting this is... hard to see the future of this possible storm's direction and wind power it is. Meditate on this, I will. :D
