ATL: INVEST 90L - Discussion
Moderator: S2k Moderators
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that this one will develop the furthest east compared to previous systems this year. (No reasoning really just that feeling.)

Okay guys, just because I want to BE a meteorologist, want to go to school for meteorology, DOES NOT MAKE ME A METEOROLOGIST. Anything I say about tropical weather is either me learning something new, or is just an opinion and nothing more than that. I can almost guarantee you that I will be wrong about pretty much everything.

TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
800 AM EDT FRI SEP 5 2014
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
An area of low pressure, associated with a tropical wave, is
producing disorganized cloudiness and thunderstorms near and south
of the Cape Verde Islands. Some slow development of this system is
possible over the next several days while it moves westward at about
15 mph. This system could still bring locally heavy rain and gusty
winds in squalls to portions of the Cape Verde Islands today.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...20 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...medium...30 percent.

Global hawk that would be one of these?

Wonder how much the rail birds have to pay for that fancy landing gear?

Do we know what time the UAV will reach the target area?
Pretty cool they can send recon to something that far away!

I don't know the flight path, but drawing a straight line using the speed over one hour it could be something like this kind of timetable:
I don't know where they will go first.

At least 90L has been fighting the sal and cleaning things for wave behind.

I have to disagree with some of the comments about the air mass being too dry for 90L. The environment is certainly drier ahead of the system, but right now, it's embedded in a pocket of ~60mm total precipitable water. You can see from this RAMMB product that while some drier air has wrapped around the system, the TPW in this "Dry wrap" are still above 37 mm.
On the topic of vertical wind shear, I'm not sure what Dr. Masters was talking about last night. While SHIPS (Statistical Hurricane Intensity Prediction Scheme) is a statistical model, it is an excellent indicator of what the large-scale environment of a system will be. For the last 24 hours, SHIPS has consistently forecast shear values under 15kts. If you look at the adjusted shear (which takes into account storm motion), the shear is almost negligible. There is some suggestion that moisture in the environment will be an issue 48 hour out, but if this system has already developed, that won't be an issue. For the record, SHIPS brings 90L to hurricane status at 84 hours at 17N,45W.

the wave behind is likely already dead. Another large SAL outbreak appears to be moving off of the coast now. It will be embedded within the next SAL outbreak

Wow. I guess they have already left. Looks like they have chosen the longest possible route. Wonder why they never took off from US.V.I
of Puerto Rico.

It's about half way across the Atlantic right now. Probably four to five hours to go.Hurricane_Luis wrote:Wow. I guess they have already left. Looks like they have chosen the longest possible route. Wonder why they never took off from US.V.I

It's a big research project, so their home base is at NASA's Wallops Flight Facility. Everything is setup for the aircraft:
