Now let's see what % NHC gives 94L at the 2 AM TWO. I go with 30%.

ATL: INVEST 94L - Models

#6 Postby hurricanetrack » Thu Aug 16, 2012 11:59 pm

Kind of hard to imagine that the same pattern would be in place for so many seasons in a row - allowing only Irene to get past the proverbial goalie. No matter, I always think of Frances in 2004 and how so many people wrote it off immediately as "going fishing". Look how that turned out. The pattern could change just enough but it is really tough to see that happening since we've in this re-curve rut for so long. I guess we will just have to watch and wait it out....

This looks like its currently part of the ITCZ and until it can disconnect it will take a little more time strengthening which would possibly make this get picked up a little by the weakness, but the weakness in the ridge that the models have will have closed up and 94l gets left behind and that would be a possibly ugly scenerio, I would like to see the ridge trough position take this far away from anyone.

My forecast is

current 11N 17.2W 25mph
12 hrs 11.5N 20W 35mph
24hrs 11.8N 23W 45mph
36hrs 12.2N 25.5W 60mph
48hrs 12.5N 28W 70mph
72hrs 13.5N 33W 85mph
96hrs 13.8N 37W 90mph
120hrs 14.5N 40W 105mph

NHC starts with 10%.

A TROPICAL WAVE NEAR THE WEST COAST OF AFRICA IS PRODUCING AN AREA
OF DISORGANIZED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IN THE FAR EASTERN
ATLANTIC OCEAN. SOME SLOW DEVELOPMENT OF THIS SYSTEM IS POSSIBLE
DURING THE NEXT FEW DAYS. THIS SYSTEM HAS A LOW CHANCE...10
PERCENT...OF BECOMING A TROPICAL CYCLONE DURING THE NEXT 48 HOURS
AS IT MOVES TOWARD THE WEST AT 15 TO 20 MPH.

On the face of it this one should recurve a decent way away from the US and even the Caribbean...however I don't know why but I've just got a feeling this one will be getting alot closer to both mentioned areas than most models are showing.

Anyway this system is indeed heavily connected to the ITCZ, very convectivly active however at the moment which bodes well down the line.

I think this has a good chance of being a major hurricane, conditions over the W.Atlantic look the best I've seen this season in 7-10 days time.

ATLANTIC

- Models continue to key on a tropical wave and low pressure system now coming off Africa as having a high probability of becoming a tropical cyclone as it traverses the Atlantic. Those projections also continue to show the system not making the journey all the way across to North America.

Shouldn't be a rapid developer, looks like it'll tug along to the west for at least the next 72-96hrs, after that there is now some major divergence in solutions, going to be hard to call.

Either way I think this will be at the very least a Bermuda threat down the line, even if it does curve NW/NNW earlier like the more easterly models.

I think whilst I do favour the recurve solution (around 65W would be my punt right now, much further west than the GFS starts it) I wouldn't rule out a threat to the east coast. I'd have thought its more of a threat to NS/Newfoundland and Bermuda though.
