ATL : INVEST 98L

[wxman57]

Could be a sign that Atlantic conditions will soon support surface development.

Or it could be a sign that fall is on its way earlier than normal...

Interesting theory.

NORTH-NORTHEASTWARD NEAR 20 MPH. CONDITIONS ARE NOT FAVORABLE FOR
TROPICAL CYCLONE DEVELOPMENT...HOWEVER THIS LOW IS EXPECTED TO
BECOME AN EXTRATROPICAL GALE CENTER. REFER TO STATEMENTS AND
WARNINGS FROM THE OCEAN PREDICTION CENTER UNDER AWIPS HEADER

What a waste of a number.

Or it could be a sign that fall is on its way earlier than normal...

Interesting theory.

I was only partially joking.This pattern of trof in the east and generally cool weather across the northern and northeast U.S. so far this summer may translate into a rather cool fall and cold winter east of the Rockies. But that's a topic for another thread.

[HurricaneRobert]

Have there actually been 9 invests this season?

They skipped 95 / 96.

Latest radar from KBOX:



Heaviest rains are still sitting offshore.

Late September weather arrived almost a month early with Westerlies well established across the Northern Gulf by the end of August, and still something managed to sneak under, defying all the odds.


But I'm not too worried this year. El Nino, and a trough setting up near and East of 90 to 95ºW says this is the East Coast's season, if there even really is a season, as the UKMO says we could have as few as three named storms.

Unofficially.

I know!!

What will they do for more numbers??
Oh yeah.... they start over at 90 again....and again....

Darn, are we all bored!!

[cycloneye]

For the record,invest 98L lasted exactly 4 hours,13 minutes. I think this is one of the quickest invests in history that lasted that short in time.

[lester]

For the record,invest 98L lasted exactly 4 hours,13 minutes.

would that be the fastest time a invest has been activated/deactivated on record?

Although the missions associated with 98L were scrubbed, I want to point out that Storm2k is representing recon on Twitter.

Waste of time!

[Brent]

*yawn*

What a waste of time.

[TropicalWXMA]

Eh I wouldn't call it a TOTAL waste. It was a good test run. Plus, it has a nice lookin' spin on it now and the outflow is reaching up into southern Canada and Quebec and the storm itself has continued to have a tropical moisture feed straight from the Bahamas/Caribbean.

[TropicalWXMA]

The ULL looks like it's becoming pretty enlongated now.
