Low over Southern Georgia

#1 Postby lrak » Wed Jul 26, 2017 9:00 am

It looks like it has a good spin and is firing some convection in the Atlantic. Would this low be able to go into the GOM or the Atlantic and form a depression? Vorticity map has a big red spot in that location? Shear doesn't look too bad either.

I checked the pressure around that area and it's really high :oops: At least it's spinning and something to watch :cheesy:

Current location

31.8/82.6

It's certainly the most cyclonic action close to home we've seen in a while. While it probably won't do anything, it also wouldn't surprise me if this is one that surprises the models as well.

Surprises for everyone! :lol:

Is there anyplace where I can see archived radar of the recent past? Like the last six hours instead of just an hour?

I think Intellicast has something like that, but it only goes back the previous 2 hours. I'm sure you can find something.

Actually, this has become an interesting feature these past couple of days. This has been a small, yet persistent area of convection just off the Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia coastal area since Monday. It appears that this is on the tail end of weak trough situated just off the Southeast U.S. Atlantic. seaboard.

Now, there is no model support for this area, and surface pressures currently are quite high at this time. I am not anticipating any development from this feature, but it is something to just keep a wary eye on just in case, only because of this feature's close proximity to my area.

I will say that if this area continues to persist, sometimes we see trough splits occur, and every once in a while, this type of set up can spawn homegrown cyclones, especially off the SE U.S.coast. Keep an eye on it.

NEVER, EVER SAY NEVER in the tropics and weather in general, and most importantly, with life itself!!

This is the same frontal boundary that went stationary and is now being reinforced.
Tail end of the front is actually off the west coast of Florida but there are frequently more than on impulses along stalled fronts this time of year.
