Dr.Masters thoughts on 98L:

98L midway between Africa and Lesser Antilles

A tropical wave midway between Africa and the Lesser Antilles Islands (Invest 98L) has a moderate amount of disorganized heavy thunderstorms, and is headed west to west-northwest at 15 - 20 mph. Wind shear is a moderate 10 - 20 knots over 98L, the atmosphere is moist, and ocean temperatures are a very warm 29°C. With wind shear expected to remain in the moderate range through Tuesday night, some slow development is likely until 98L encounters much higher wind shear of 20 - 40 knots Wednesday though Saturday. Moisture from 98L could arrive in the Lesser Antilles Islands as early as Thursday, though Friday is more likely. On Monday, the GFS model predicts that wind shear will fall low enough for 98L to develop into a tropical depression a few hundred miles northeast of Puerto Rico. The NOGAPS model shows some weak support for this idea, but the ECMWF model does not. In their 8 am Tropical Weather Outlook, NHC gave 98L a 10% chance of becoming a tropical cyclone by Wednesday morning.

This reminds me of the point of origin of what was eventually Hurricane Thomas.But of course I am not saying this will be like that in intensity,only pointing out the low latitud it was when it was a strong wave.

2 PM TWO remains at 10%.

A BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE AND A TROPICAL WAVE LOCATED ABOUT
1500 MILES EAST-SOUTHEAST OF THE LESSER ANTILLES ARE PRODUCING AN
ELONGATED AREA OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE TROPICAL
ATLANTIC. DEVELOPMENT...IF ANY...OF THIS DISTURBANCE IS EXPECTED
TO BE SLOW TO OCCUR AS IT MOVES WESTWARD OR WEST-NORTHWESTWARD AT
15 TO 20 MPH DURING THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. THIS SYSTEM HAS A LOW
CHANCE...10 PERCENT...OF BECOMING A TROPICAL CYCLONE DURING THE
NEXT 48 HOURS.

Though the Euro, GFS and Canadian all develop at least a weak low that moves across the NE Caribbean sometime Friday/Saturday, I think they may be going a bit overboard as far as the strength of the low, given the continued unfavorable conditions in the MDR this season, particularly anywhere near the eastern Caribbean. Could be a few thunderstorms across the NE Caribbean late this week before it tracks off to the north and out to sea.

Yeah I think the GFS may be going overboard that is for sure bombing this system out just NE of Puerto Rico, however, both the CMC and ECMWF are not shoe-in recurvers at this point in the long-range which is a little concerning. Still far out and there is plenty of time to watch it... it is October afterall, typically not a good time for MDR development climatologically. It's at a very low-lattitude so would not expect it to recurve before the islands at this point.

Note the vast differences in timing of arrival in the eastern Caribbean between the models:

Canadian - 06Z Friday
Euro - 12Z Thursday
GFS - 12Z Saturday

Canadian may be closest here, as it's been averaging abut 12-13 kts forward speed, which puts it crossing the islands of the eastern Caribbean on Friday morning. For now, just expecting scattered squalls with heavy rain and wind gusts 40-50 kts from St. Lucia NW to the US and BVI Friday/Saturday.

FCST EARLY NEXT WEEK WILL LARGELY DEPEND ON EVOLUTION AND TRACK OF
INVEST 98L. GFES MEAN SOLUTION INDICATES A SHARP TROUGH WITH THIS
FEATURE STARTING SUN NIGHT AND PERSISTING THROUGH MUCH OF NEXT
WEEK. A TROPICAL DISTURBANCE OR TROPICAL DEPRESSION ALSO NOT OUT
OF THE QUESTION. WHAT APPEARS LIKELY IS THAT FEATURE OR SYSTEM WILL
BE VERY SLOW TO LEAVE THE REGION. SO POTENTIAL IS THERE FOR SVRL
DAYS OF HEAVY RAIN NEXT WEEK BUT LARGELY DEPENDENT ON EVENTUAL
TRACK OF SYSTEM http://forecast.weather.gov/product.php ... glossary=1 Issued by NWS San Juan, P

From the San Juan NWS this morning.

..FARTHER EAST...A TROPICAL WAVE LOCATED MIDWAY BETWEEN
THE WINDWARD ISLANDS AND AFRICA WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE WESTWARD
DURING THE NEXT FEW DAYS AND WILL ENTER THE EASTERN CARIBBEAN SEA
SATURDAY. THIS WAVE IS ACCOMPANY BY DEEP TROPICAL MOISTURE WITH
LATEST SJU-GFS LAYER PRECIPITABLE WATER ANALYSIS INDICATING VALUES
OVER 2.5 INCHES. ALL COMPUTER MODELS AGREED THIS SYSTEM WILL
BECOME ACTIVE AS IT APPROACH THE LESSER ANTILLES DURING THE
WEEKEND. IS TOO EARLY TO KNOW EXACTLY HOW THIS SYSTEM WILL AFFECT
THE WEATHER LOCALLY...BUT WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR NEXT FEW DAYS.

Keeping An Eye On Invest 98L East Of The Windward Islands

Tuesday, October 9, 2012 5:50 am

by Rob Lightbown


An area of low pressure, designated Invest 98L by the National Hurricane Center, was located a little over 1000 miles to the east of the Windward Islands. This disturbance is worth, at least, to be monitored over the next several days as it tracks west-northwestward. At this time, environmental conditions will be relatively unfavorable for development over the next few days, however, forecast guidance such as the GFS model forecasts that conditions may become more favorable as 98L nears the Leeward Islands, Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico late this weekend into early next week.

As for the forecast guidance: The GFS and European models both seem to suggest development into a tropical storm in the vicinity of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands by Sunday or Monday. From there this system tracks to near the Turks and Caicos and the southeastern Bahamas by the middle part of next week.

The Canadian model goes absolutely bonkers and forecasts this system to impact the Windward Islands and Barbados as a moderate tropical storm by Thursday night and then forecasts this system to significantly intensify into a hurricane and turn northward impacting much of the islands of the Leeward Islands on Friday into Saturday and bringing hurricane conditions to the Virgin Islands by Saturday night.

I think the Canadian model is way too strong with its development and strengthening and that the GFS and European model guidance may be closer to what may occur. With all of this said, I strongly suggest that all residents and vacationers in the Lesser Antilles and the island of Barbados to keep close tabs on the progress of this system. Based on the current forward speed of 15 mph this system is likely to start impacting the Lesser Antilles by Thursday night with squally weather continuing into Friday. I think at the very least heavy rain squalls, gusty winds of 40 to 50 mph and rough seas can be expected for Thursday night and Friday along the entire island chain of the Lesser Antilles. This squally weather is then expected to spread across the US and British Virgin Islands as we get into Saturday.

The models might once again be missing the prevailing negative conditions.
