90L (TS at least IMO) 1st unofficial movement post.

[Stormcenter]

Is 90L (TD IMO already) moving NW or WNW or at all? You be the judge.

Looks like 90L is moving more toward the NNW rather than the WNW. That though is probably because of the LLC developing (really clear in the last few satellite frames), and it probably will turn back to the NW or WNW soon.

Not seeing NNW

Good observation wxmann_91.

Let it gets its act together before we begin to determine that. Most likely we are all wrong because the system is just beginning to get rotation so therefore it may give out many illusions.

NW 310.

[Rainband]

looking at the vis sat looks wnw now.

[Sanibel]

You are looking at the "F" storm.


Track looks north. Our locals said it is weakening the High north of it. If it tracks back west in reaction to the High holding I have no idea. Instinct tells me up the coast and out to sea.

A separate topic should be made saying "2005 Going Crazy".

It looks WNW to me. Its definitely looking better than just an hour ago.

Could Franklin be "the one"? He, more than anyone so far this season, has the best chance to get here. Come on Franklin, end the drought!

Looks like it's fluctuating from NNW to even nearly Due west..generally I suppose a bit West of NW. Looks like a surface low and center of circulation are beginning to pop out. we may have a TS on our hands sooner rather than later.

Yes we may.

[jrod]

Looking at the latest visible satellite, I do see a circualtion. Ill wait for the recon before saying it has a LLC. My judgement on this system based on the quikscat passes is this system is strong enough to be a storm. I thinking when the recon gets out there this will be immediatly named Franklin.

[chris_fit]

I agree it's going straight to TS

Man! You must have missed that little gullywasher yesterday! We didn't get power back until about midnight and it about washed our tomatoes away.

Sure looks NNW to me. A buoy south of the apparent center reported a 37 kt SW wind a few hours ago. I place the center near 25N/75W. I see no evidence of much westerly component in its motion.

[Weatherboy1]

It appears clear to me that this is now a potnetial TS consolidating in the vicinity of 25/75 roughly. I don't know if there's really been much movement ... I think some of the perceived movement is just the system consolidating and developing an LLC. As for direction, probably to the N eventually and avoiding the FL coast due to a ridge weakness forecast to develop to the north in a day or two. But it's too early to say. Worth watching here in FL for sure, though.

Looks NW to me right now, but I'd like to see a few more hours of this well-defined circulation before being difinitive.

[jrod]

Yes it is still early and it barely is has its act together at best. But it is an area that is notorious for storm development and stregthening. Even if that swirl dissapates another will pop up. This system is too close to me for me not to be getting all jitery watching
