I went with none just to be a jerk.

All three have a chance it appears.

Interesting that no one has gone for 99L. That one appears to have the best chance short term. It has strong convection and a nearly closed LLC.

I think 91L or 99L will probably develop first, followed by 90L sometime over the next 3 days.

You asked which will develop first. There is a very slim chance that all of them will develop at once, and also a low chance that none of them will. I think that 90/91 will develop very closely together. I think 91 may develop first followed by 90 very soon after.

I went with 91L. It's looking good and it's more of a land threat than the others right now. I do expect at least one of these 3 invests to develop.

I voted 91L, only because it gets the airplane first, probably.


I think 90L is closer to being a tropical depression, technically, but it is farther from land.

i'm going with 90L which will become Edouard, then 91L becomes Fay... 99L will not develop at all because of upper level winds... i would be really surprised if none of these develop, a parade of storms like that which would never develop could signal that this season is like 1997 :x

99L is the only one with even close to a LLC. Based on satellite I would say it has started to develop a west wind. I would watch it as it is recurving out of the MDR to form into a tropical cyclones.

I can't believe no one has voted for 99L (I jokingly voted for all three). 99L is probably the only one with a chance of becoming a TD tomorrow.

A west wind is what you find on the southern side of a closed low. West around the southern side, with a eastly wind on the northern side of a system. This is a "wind field" that forms at the lower levels which is what a LLC is. Also the LLC has the lowest pressures inside of the center.

If theres a west wind, because the southern half of a LLC is normally the weakest, then finding a west wind can be a strong sign that we have a depression.

91L

Not only is it the most impressive looking of the three right now, it's also in the best position to be classified a depression in the near future, since it presents an obvious and more immediate danger to land, and thus will be treated with greater urgency by the NHC.

99L isn't looking so hot right now, and seems likely to recurve if it does develop. 90L is something to watch, but its future is anything but certain.

91L because it's close to land.
