HELP!!!!Where the is 90L located?

#1 Postby Stormcenter » Fri Jul 30, 2004 3:22 pm

I'm totally lost as where 90L is actually located.
I've read several NWS discussions from various
cities along the coast and they all say something different.
I now think it's actually off the tip of Cuba under the
expanding cluster of convection. But I'm NOT sure.
Someone please help me locate 90L!!! :x

After looking at the visible more and more it sure
looks like there MAY be a swirl forming under the convection
off the tip of Cuba. I just not 100% sure of that though.

i just answered this question in another post here it is...

"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..."

that great big turning in the middle of the gulf.... thats it.... period.. end of story... you do not have to have convection around the center for it to be "THE CIRCULATION CENTER" sorry... i kknow it looks bad right now, but thats it.. thats is 90

The exact center per satellite is within 30 miles of 25/86.

Go to GHCC and do an extended vis loop on medium.

IT will then jump out at you.
