That is the exact same (word for word) TWO that was issued last night. Even the same Forecaster. I dont think recon will be going out today. JMO. I think maybe they are on cruise control at the NHC.

Ahh, give 'em a break. Working the night shift isn't too fun. Nothing new is really going on, so why write a new TWO when you can retransmit the old one?

In all honesty, I agree. I believe recon will be cancelled. They may be waiting to "officially" do it one visibile satellite images start rolling in.

I'm pretty sure some times they have it on timer.

I agree 100%. That was funny Pepr.

Before anyone jumps on him for saying this, I have suspected this myself. I remember when the disturbance that was to become Allison was in the Gulf in Early June 2001, the 5:30 AM TWO stated "Tropical Storm formation is not expected". Everyone on another board (GOPBI- all we had back then) was having a fit because it had become much better organized, and was clearly on the brink of being a tropical Depression. Then all of a sudden about one hour later the NHC issued a TDS, stating it was on the verge of becoming a TC. I've had several occasions where I've suspected this.

I think they copy and paste also.

For the last few forecast periods nothing seemed to be moving in the tropics. The ULL between the system in the BOC and the area in the carribean further east was nearly stationary.

This morning you can see a cold front starting to drop south into the gulf and that ULL has moved east. I wonder if conditions will be favorable for something to fire up at the tail end of the front once it drops down into the GOM?
