I have to run right now but scroll back and look at the 15Z surface analysis from HPC that I posted earlier. Look at the 45 knot wind in the Bahamas just to the west of the center....

wxman what do you think of the CMC developing the energy that is left over a week from now further south?

Let me assist you:

11/1745 UTC 26.0N 71.9W T3.0/3.0 16L -- Atlantic

http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/PS/TROP/tdpositions.html


A Dvorak estimate is not direct observations of TS winds. In fact, these estimates can be quite far off from reality. They rely on a satellite appearance to estimate surface winds. We know that many times satellite appearances can be quite deceiving. Systems that may look like strengthening tropical storms (satellite) may have no low-level circulation once recon gets there.

Not much. I don't use the Canadian for tropical cyclones. It beats the NOGAPS, but that's not saying much.

ASCAT showed 25 knot winds. Accounting for the low-bias of the instrument, that gives 30-35 knot winds.

The satellite presentation of the depression has also become better organized over the past few hours. CIMSS-ADT supports tropical storm strength and SAB and TAFB support tropical storm strength. This is a tropical storm, no way around it.

Looks every bit like a TS and has been improving all day. More hot towers going up again. Too bad there's no buoys there. Actually hard to believe there's no buoys there - I really never noticed before.

It's sitting smack between the two buoys that are there...one to the north, and one to the south...couldn't get in a better position to prevent us from gaining much needed information from them! :roll: :x

Yup, bru. And of course the ships will now go around it so they won't help. Very frustrating. :x

Also, just to reiterate from my post earlier, I'm not convinced this is going southwestward at all. A deeper system should go east or northeast, and this is definitely deeper now, despite the shear.

I still argue that this has not been a frontal Low all day at all. It has had a well defined closed & tight LLC
The frontal boundary started washing out as it near the tropical low.

I admit that the LLC is starting to get detached from the MLC after looking at the latest sat loop, may not be much of a system 12-24 hrs from now.

The 18Z GFS has it moving NE for a day or so then moves back WSW passing over Andros and then Northern Cuba . It's shifted a bit north on this run and keeps Patty or the surface low alive a bit longer. One thing seems sure, the environment just doesn't seem favorable for any system to last too long if it moves west with dry stable air and plenty of shear around. Could easily just become a remnant swirl heading WSW by the weekend. Those in South Florida can attest with dry, breezy winds from the NE and a pleasant day today with low humidity.

South Florida is now in the "non-tropical cone of doom"!

From the 11 pm discussion:

A FORTUITOUS 11/2031 UTC DROPSONDE REPORT RECEIVED FROM AN AIR FORCE
RESERVE RECONNAISSANCE AIRCRAFT ENROUTE TO THE NORTHEASTERN
CARIBBEAN REGION INDICATED THE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR FROM 850-300 MB
WAS MUCH LESS THAN THE 28-30 KT 850-200 MB SHEAR ASSESSED BY THE
GFS-BASED SHIPS MODEL. THIS MIGHT EXPLAIN WHY PATTY HAS REMAINED
WELL-ORGANIZED TODAY DESPITE WHAT OTHERWISE APPEARS TO BE RATHER
HOSTILE SHEAR CONDITIONS.


They couldn't do one penetration? :lol: Going down there for 98L. Just continues to show how hard shear forecasts, and even current analysis, is.

:uarrow: Yeah. Shear is so difficult. It often speads out horizontally in such an amorphous pattern that it can shift outward into some nearby areas while it pulls back from other areas not far away at the same time. It does it so quickly sometimes that I wonder if we'll ever get a really good handle on it in cases like these where a TC like Patty is drifting along the border of really heavy and light shear.

I just saw the 00Z GFS and it takes it northeastward (which is what I've been saying) and then it does a large clockwise loop back towards the Bahamas. That makes a lot more sense to me and this is, btw, one of the the first model runs that has a much better initialization of Patty's strength and position. I can see Patty moving northeastward now as I watch it. This may be around a lot longer than anyone thought it would be...
