Re: Is There Something Brewing East of Bahamas? [Re: Unregistered User]
      #16919 - Thu Jul 29 2004 11:10 AM

Now we're talking tropics. Signs are the doors are about to swing open for the season. 90L and 99L are up, with 99L looking better at the moment.It may have some impact on north FL weather by the weekend, although NWS/Jax is not reflecting that in it's forecast yet. Clouds not showing signs of alot of shear, and begining to gather around possible center. Cool! Let's go Alex, this is you.......

90L is a bit more of a long term project, going to take some time if this baby is to get going. If it does, NO to PEN would be my guess as to who might see it, though I saw a model somewhere take it further west. Still a couple of days away, IMO.

Some models insist on a long tracker kicking in within 7-10 days as well, right in the sweet zone of the E Atlantic. It's time to crank this thing up.

Meanwhile, I'm watching 99L. Come on Alex, I know you're in there somewhere......The NHC is taking forever posting the 11am TWO....

There is something BIg east of the Bahamas! [Re: joepub1]
      #16920 - Thu Jul 29 2004 11:20 AM

It would appear we will have at least 1 named storm before Sunday, August 1st.

Welcome , Alex! (East of the Bahamas)

The 11:30 Update does seem to think it may go to Florida (north that is, but if it does go WEST NW than anywhere north of West Palm Beach can be the destination.

Just one humble opinion. Still too early as it depends on the ridge coming down.

The center is critical and its pretty much where I thought earlier at 24.8N/70.5Wish. My thought that this would go to the Carolinas is in doubt, since it seems to be at the southern most area that others have been saying. Maybe JAX will see something from this Either way, the weather along the eastern seaboard from south to north should get interesting this weekend.....surf's up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No problem James. Keep an eye on them for me while I'm at work this afternoon and evening.....even though I do get the NHC web site on my cell phone now. That was my upgrade for this season, never leave home without your NHC

well this is interesting if not exciting as we watch the attempted birth of a system in the EGOM close up. We on this board were on this early, before even the NHC posted an interest.
Dry air is pushing down into the GOM system and is interfering with outflow, but as I said this will relax in the next day or so.
The forecasting will depend on the mid- west trough for both systems, as I definitely believe the Bahamas will be classified. I still see two TS in this. EDS

real quietly watching both systems... [Re: doug]
      #16928 - Thu Jul 29 2004 11:49 AM

Watching and reading what you have to say closely.
Still very unconvinced how these two might play out and at the same time have an effect upon eachother's future path.

Not sure anyone has a perfect handle on it.
Watching various versions of http://www.cira.colostate.edu/RAMM/Rmsdsol/TROPICAL.html

as well.

Great, first good action of the season and my Internet goes out. Back now though.

In a PM from Ed on Monday night, he gave me a heads up on the Bahama system. Didn't post on it, but the man is GOOD. This was before Mike put up the new thread.

Cheers,

Wow...great foresight! Looks like Ed may get his 1st storm date bang on! (Or perhaps a day early). 99L is looking good - convection is fading just a tad to the north but is being maintained to the south.

It appears the center of circulation is located at 70W 25N.

FINALLY some action to talk about, looks like we may get our first named storm before Aug. Right now 99L seems like it may make it to TD or storm status before 90L, as it appears to be spinning up quicker than the gulf system.

Pretty impressive [Re: James88]
      #16935 - Thu Jul 29 2004 12:23 PM

Looks like things are going to get busy near the U.S. during this weekend and during the upcoming week.

99L doesn't have a circulation at the surface yet, and that is its biggest problem. If you think the system looks good now, wait until the shear subsides even more. All of the models are forecasting a decrease in shear near the SE Coast. I'd say that we are going to probably see development out of this. It just needs some time to develop a surface circ. I think the conditions favor this scenario. I guess track could be interesting too. Gut feeling says NW with an eventual brush with coastal NC, but things get interesting (and tough to figure out) if the system stalls towards the latter part of the weekend.

The GOM system is showing life as well. The thunderstorm activity in the southeastern Gulf is already becoming stronger. I think the first test for this system is nighttime persistence. If it persists overnight, then I can really see things starting to roll tomorrow. The upper-level winds also look favorable.

Alex and Bonnie within a few days? Don't rule it out. Heck, we could even see Charley by Monday if believe in the African development that the GFS is showing.

not much longer...

Re: 99L invest for east of Bahamas [Re: Cycloneye]

99L looks like its starting to wind up. Convection is concentrating on the southern side.

Not to sure about 90L, but give it time

I see 99L as being stationery.
