Is 90L finally getting it's act together?

#1 Postby Stormcenter » Fri Jul 30, 2004 2:16 pm

Well still has a ways to go but 90L looks
like it's trying to get it's act together. :roll:
You see more convection is trying building around
the broad circulation.

A little more.... You're talking about the circulation more northward with only a few showers, right?

You guys and gals keep giving coordinates for 90L near the center of the Gulf, but I keep seeing a distinct surface swirl futher south just north of the Yucatan Channel. So whats up with that observation, are my eyes playing dirty tricks? The 99L looks so ragged compared to this feature in my opinion and I would think that this one would be of more interest to forum board. I think this might be an East coast Gulf coast bias

:lol:

also this blob over Cuba was moving southeast about this time yesterday afternoon, now to me it looks like its getting sucked out towards the Yucatan Channel?

This morning I really had to look hard to find the rotation but as of now it is quite obvious by looking at the vis. sat. loop. I do believe it is getting its act together...slowly but surely.

Im strickly a novice weather guy, Im not going to argue with the people in your link :lol:

Just thought this would be of more interest and speculation while waiting for the East coast storm to fire up :roll:

i dont know what you are looking at... if you look at a visible satellite shot, you will see NO circulation in the blob you keep referring to... The low pressure area is in the CENTRAL Gulf... what you may be seeing is a small vort max... it is nothing... you need to look at a visible to see the surface circulation... not an ir satellite image... you say you are a novice, then listen to the people on this board when they tell you not to be concerned about that blob... most of the people on here know what they are seeing and talking about... you could learn a lot from this board...

There is no circulation down south. The one near 25N / 86 W is the center. The Tstms over Cuba are diurnal and seabreeze. They will dissipate after sunset.

doesn't look like diurnal Tstorms over cuba, the vis. over the area near there shows a surge of moisture and maybe some much needed energy moving north to possibly get entrained imto the LLC.

Don't sweat it dude. They're all over the web and particularly on weather sites (with no offense to vane of course). Anyway, the blowup down by Cuba is the intersection with yesterday's wedge of dry air to the rising air portion of the LLC which is apparently only ventilated on its southern side at this time. I haven't plotted a visible loop in a while, but I'd assume the circulation center is around 85.5 and 25 based on where it was earlier today. Look for some banding features to develop overnight and perhaps some slow organization tomorrow. I think it's easily still 2 days away from demonstrating whether or not it's going to amount to anything. But that's just my take.
