Tampa Bay Hurricane wrote:Still think Isaac could redevelop over the western Caribbean. However, even if it doesn’t develop, the wave which produced Isaac will cross into the Gulf of Mexico and could be a heavy rain threat to Texas or Louisiana next week in my opinion. People in Texas/Louisiana should watch this as a flooding threat, especially since they have had so much heavy rain in parts of Texas/Louisiana the last few weeks.



Don't worry I'm keeping an eye on the remnants.

So, what are the chances of this becoming Harvey Part Deux?

Too much shear, dry air and spread out convection. Still need to monitor it but not much support for now.

Looks like a break from activity until early Oct. from everything I'm seeing.

Florence energy loops back, might get something going down the road

Agree, looks like its almost time to shift focus to the SW part of the basin.

Currently it looks to be in a rather conducive area for development to me(extremely amateur perspective.) The dry air and shear are down. It seems to have its 850 mb, 700 mb, and 500 mb vorticities ready to go! What's stopping it from getting its Low-Level-Center Back Together and Reorganizing?

imo I think some of it is due to MJO conditions no longer being favorable with sinking velocity anomalies showing up (and propagating across the gulf over this week).

8 PM TWO:

A broad area of low pressure associated with the remnants of Isaac
is located a couple of hundred miles southeast of Kingston Jamaica.
This low is accompanied by cloudiness and a few thunderstorms,
and although the system shows some slight organization, it is
heading westward toward a hostile environment for re-development.
Locally heavy rains and gusty winds are forecast over portions of
Hispaniola, Jamaica, and eastern Cuba during the next couple of
days.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...20 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...low...20 percent.

I guess that sort of explains the sudden collapse in convection last night.

There is still pretty vigorous low level spin with Isaac.

I am not seeing the "hostile environment" this will be moving into.
PV, Shear, UL Moisture, Hot Water is all conducive.
LL Moisture appears to be the only inhibiting factor.

Noted as a low, not a disturbance; any significance there?

Nothing important about that as there is still a weak low there.

A low is typically used as the designation if a closed circulation is observed but fails to meet the requirements of a tropical cyclone in some other aspect, such as convective coverage or thermal structure (although there is another designation for extratropical systems too). I can see why the NHC went with the low designation.

It still has a good spin to it this morning, the h200 velocity map image that aperson posted makes sense why the global models don't do anything with its remnants, it has fairly good UL winds and low level easterly jet is not present in this area but is in an area of subsidence, I am sure Florence still has a lot to do with it.

Nice convection firing close to the spin south of the southern tip of Haiti.

I like to think of the Carib as 4 zones, from east to west
1) Graveyard Zone
2) It's-Dead-Jim Zone
3) Resurection & Repentance Zone
4) Holy Crap / RI Zone

Convection continues to slowly build again with Isaac late this morning, nice looking low swirling in the Cab. It’s still not really dead yet! IMO 8-)
