This discussion will be very brief. Currently, 01L is a very weak depression with a broad low-level circulation, and is moving north slowly. I expect that the high will build in further into the E GOM and that will steer 01L on a N-NNW-NW-NNW-N type path. Environmental conditions also appear as though they will be favorable for further intensification through to the coastline. There is an outside chance that 01L could briefly reach hurricane status, but that is not expected, and is quite far out into the future to have any certainty. I expect landfall near Mobile, AL in approximately 80 hours as a strong tropical storm. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask!
01L. Position and Intensity Forecast Graphic, 08.06.2005:
Note: The actual position of the storm can vary at 72 hours by as much as 125 miles in either direction, and the strength can vary by as much as 20 KT. The information on the graphic is provided as a best estimate.
I apologize for the image difficulties!
