I've already put out the word to John, Mike, Ed & HF about a new thread. I could do it, but I could also screw it up.
Here's a headsup for possible TD3:
THE STRONG TROPICAL WAVE IN THE VICINITY OF TOBAGO IS MOVING WESTWARD AT 20 TO 25 MPH. ALTHOUGH SURFACE OBSERVATIONS DO NOT INDICATE A CLOSED CIRCULATION AT THIS TIME...THIS SYSTEM IS WELL
ORGANIZED AND HAS THE POTENTIAL TO DEVELOP INTO A TROPICAL CYCLONE LATER TODAY. EVEN IF TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION DOES NOT OCCUR...SQUALLS WITH SOME WIND GUSTS TO TROPICAL STORM FORCE ARE
LIKELY OVER THE WINDWARD ISLANDS TODAY... ESPECIALLY OVER HIGHER TERRAIN. AN AIR FORCE RESERVE UNIT HURRICANE HUNTER PLANE IS SCHEDULED TO INVESTIGATE THE WAVE ON TUESDAY. ALL INTERESTS IN THE EASTERN AND CENTRAL CARIBBEAN SEA SHOULD CLOSELY MONITOR THE PROGRESS OF THIS SYSTEM OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS.

Looks like XTD2 continues to have problems holding onto its convection, and that is necessary for the pressures to fall and get going...As I see it, the actual estimated LLC has moved more north, and in the latest visible a new very circular convective cloud mass is appearing, and this is born out by the banding that is visible...this means that it is still transitioning and is pretty weak.
93L looks a lot like 91L at this same time. Not sure it is closed off...it is possible neither will actually be upgraded when the fliers get in.

Yes Phil I was going to post that about changing to a new thread as these 2 systems are on the brink to develop.

<this means that it is still transitioning and is pretty weak.>
I think were looking for this to renamed TD2, not Hurricane Bonnie this afternoon. Most TD's are pretty weak, and are in a transforming stage of their development. The circ is becoming enclosed with convection and moving NW away from land into very warm waters. It's doing OK by my standards...... 
93L, if it continues to get it's act together, will move north to some degree as well; again away from land and into warm waters. The models are cranking this boy up as well, but it's got to fight it's way through the graveyard first. While overall a stronger system at the moment next to 91L-XTD2, does it have what it takes to survive the nasty trip it's about to make??

That is about the spot I see it also.The shear is subsiding and the new wrap of clouds to the N and NE is becoming evident.I wonder how that low over LA is playing a factor as a steering mechanism.How much longer before a plane gets in there?93L looks prone to pounce little shear right now in the boneyard do not really see any till you look at the W Carib.

I'll expect that if they send planes out, and if either of these systems are classified, it will likely be after 5pm

Didn't they originally say they would have a plane in exTD2remants this afternoon?
Have I missed something?
Are they or aren't they sending in the plane?
Also..can someone please repost that site with wxr obs for Carib/Lesser Antilles. Thanks

Well, not just one, but a double wammy. I think the system in the Gulf may prevent that wave out there, when it DOES enter the Gulf in 5 days or so...from becoming the mother of all storms...if it wipes enough of the enegy and temperature out of the bath tub...
I have watched systems for over 12 years now, and the wave entering the caribbean is already a depression, and possibly a tropical storm within 12-24 hours. It would NOT suprise me if this blossomed quickly into a major hurricane. Just has that look to it. Suprised it is not already classified.
Since these have cycles, we will see if the whole thing plays out to be someone's worst nightmare, or just another fun thing to watch.
It sure looks impressive, is south enough to enter the gulf, and big enough to ward off the graveyard ahead of it.
hmmmm
The system in the bay of Campeche will possibly make a miserable weekend of being on my trawler, and the one behind it...will finish me off....HA!

For me, 93L conjures up thoughts of Iris in 2001 and of Isidore in 2002, as both were very well-defined waves when entering the Eastern Caribbean, and both developed (although because it moved south of Trinidad, Isidore dissipated at first as TD10)
It is of note, though, that neither system was in August--Iris was in October and Isidore was in September, although we musn't forget Allen in 1980. Although I doubt this system will ever be a Cat V, Allen rapidly intensified while moving west at 25 mph, AND in the eastern Carib. Allen, like this system, (although Allen was already classified) had a very well-defined upper level anticyclone.
