Re: ATL: INVEST 99L - Models

I really don't understand why global models don't do much with 99L, according to the SHIPS model shear & mid level moisture content will not be that problematic down the road, probably just that the low level jet across the Caribbean is not dying out just yet.

8.5°N, 42°W. Yup


Certainly you mean more like 48W

Certainly looks ominous enough, but nonexistent model support from operational/ensemble members. Not likely to be anything more than a tropical wave.

If the upper divergence ican increase (win out ))over the convergence ,this weak invest may organise further. :ggreen:

I disagree with this. This is exactly the type of system that sneaks up and catches people off guard. Models, as we all know, are not infallible. I posted a pic earlier this afternoon showing what appeared to be lessening shear in the Caribbean. I know not all of the ingredients are quite there, but this one could be something to watch in the next few days. I certainly hope you're right though.

Models are yet to do well in the deep Tropics, so don't write it off based on that alone. Now if we put more Recon runs into such low latitude systems we would get more data of deep tropics cyclogenesis to plug into the models but alas they wait until they are well pass 50W to do this. Now if this was up at 20N Recon would be in there in a flash.

Models have been actually doing very poorly this season in regards to picking up on every Atlantic system we’ve had to date.

I'll grant you that. Harvey was also a sleeper with little-to-no model support to begin with before it reached the Caribbean.

The LLJ that causes windshear in that part of the Caribbean should be gone as this is peak time for the eastern and central Caribbean. Think of how many historic hurricanes have went through there in Sept...not many aside from a certain "I" storm in 2004.

There also appears to be a favorable MJO phase rolling through the Atlantic... also baffled as to why the global models show zero development. There's nothing immediately obvious as being unfavorable for development, IMO. And it's a fairly impressive system. There's got to be something we're missing.

May not be us missing anything, could be like last year where the models blew chunks and missed a few systems including Harvey that’s why we need to keep a very close eye on this system

Harvey was almost a year ago, and the models stunk it up for genesis. That's what has me concerned right now.

I think the reason the models do not develop 99L is because its vorticity is very weak.

Euro has a bit of weak development (possibly to a TD) in the next 48 hours, and notable that 48 hours ago it showed essentially nothing there now, not even the weak low that's formed.

In my opinion, some of those early season storms can sometimes give you a pretty good idea of what areas are going to be favorable going into the rest of the season, so the fact that we already had Beryl at a decently low latitude indicates to me that 99L might have a fighting chance to become something, model support or not. These low latitude runners can surprise you quickly.

With the Bermuda High anchored in the forecast, if this does develop, very likely to run thru the Carib and into GOM.

Forecast of upper-air conditions (shear, 355K PV) doesn't look too bad at least to mid Carib.
Downside is that it will be pushing dry air ahead of it.
