ATL: ERIKA - Remnants - Discussion

[NDG]

I am in Largo today. It's been coming down heavy for almost an hour now.

[psyclone]

Welcome to the former suncoast. I now call it the swamp coast. Fast moving torrential showers are dumping on us again...and they may continue for awhile and graze the nature coast as well. New month, same drill.

[ronjon]

Getting a training situation of continuous cells on Radar along the Pinellas Coast now - could see some impressive rainfall totals. Largo's already near 2 inches based on radar estimated.

It looks like the runs from a couple of days ago bringing the center of Erika's remnants up through the far eastern Gulf toward the FL Panhandle were on track.

Pinellas Beaches getting hammered now.

that is where I live. We're getting hammered bad thunder and lightning too

I live in Orlando, here today visiting customers.

More rain:

[psyclone]

showers are weakening on the coast now...nice rain cooled air here and drier air aloft is closing in from the south so better times are ahead.

2 PM TWO:

A weak surface trough, the remnant of Erika, is producing
a large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms over
the northeastern Gulf of Mexico. Surface pressures in the area
remain high and upper-level winds are not expected to be conducive
for redevelopment. This system could produce locally heavy
rainfall over portions of central and northern Florida during the
next day or so while it drifts northward.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent
* Formation chance through 5 days...low...near 0 percent

Radar is looking better than ever. Not a peep from the NHC?

[tropicwatch]

Sponger look up

[Airboy]

I guess the attention would be a bit different if it was in the south part of the GOM slowly moving north, to little water left now.

[Stormcenter]

Not moving much if any.

if pressures are not falling, then outflow boundaries should commence like last evening in...3...2...1

It's certainly trying to develop, and I think it has a (brief) chance of spinning up tomorrow if it can make it through the night and not move inland before that. It convection collapses then that's pretty much the end.

Looks more impressive than when it was a TS. However, pressures in the NE Gulf continue to rise, up to 1017-1018mb now. Winds across the NE Gulf are in the 5-10 kt range. It's a high-pressure TS.

Here's a snapshot of my workstation. Any rotation may be in the mid levels.

making landfall as we speak.
