update 12:30 CDT on TD 3

[kevin]

SATELLITE IMAGES AND SURFACE DATA SUGGEST THAT THE CENTER OF
TROPICAL DEPRESSION THREE MAY BE REFORMING TO THE NORTH OF THE
YUCATAN PENINSULA. AN AIR FORCE RESERVE UNIT HURRICANE HUNTER PLAN
IS SCHEDULED TO INVESTIGATE THE AREA LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND
SHOULD PROVIDE MORE COMPLETE INFORMATION ON THE LOCATION AND
STRENGTH OF THIS SYSTEM.

[Hyperstorm]

No surprise at all, exactly what has been said here at Stom2k all morning...

Thanks, Kevin.

[kevin]

Wonder why they felt the need to update for that?

[Rainband]

Maybe future track implications??

[Stratosphere747]

I think that was their normal update time...

[kevin]

It was 12:30 cdt i cut out some of the info in the header etc

[hurricanefloyd5]

anywhere from l.a. to the fl. panhandle should closely moniter this system but this is just think........ IMO..........

[Hyperstorm]

That's a tropical cyclone update that they issue when something "last-minute" occurs. It isn't necessarily relating to track changes or anything, but YES there will likely be some changes with respect to the track later today due to this northern reformation. Intensity forecasts might be bumped up as well.

[kevin]

bump. this was the update thread. i didn't ask for the other to be locked. bump

I see a Hurricane Gordon 2000 revisted...

[Weatherboy1]

Just a thought, but IF the center is reforming to the N over water (and all indications are that we are seeing exactly that), this thing could get its act together pretty quickly. Warm water. not too much in the way of shear. Much better satellite presentation now than yesterday, etc. I'm thinking we could easily have a pretty strong TS -- and one that ends up making landfall further east, say New Orleans/MS area, now that its center appears to be farther east.

[Hurricaneman]

Because the chaging in the llocation of the low could now have the landfall futher east

[JTD]

Hopefully not New Orleans. They don't need even a minimal cat 1 or 2.
