After reading the NHC's first discussion on TD#5 why do I get the feeling they are trusting the models more this time around based on how well they did with Chris?
It just doesn't sound like they are too concerned with TD#5 being anything more than a minimal hurricane. It really doesn't look to impressive on satellite even with all the convection. If the shear kills this one off then I think devine intervention has taken over the 2006 hurricane. :D

I think we are all hyping this up as if we had conditions like 2005 and 2004. Not this year it looks like, at least not right now


I agree 100%, good post.

TD5 is now covered.The shear is forcasted to increase out to it's W but the WV loop does not show that that till the 70'-75' mark.The other thing I notice is that there appears to be the makings of another ULL or TUTT @25N and 60W.A met would have to chime in on this but DOES it follow the same path as the now existing TUTT?and how fast?

The LLC is now no longer exposed and thunderstorms are building over and around. Intensification is likely in short term and TS Ernesto at 11PM is a given. Also, tracks seems to be a little more WNW than between W and WNW let's see how this evolves during the night.

Tutt may be out of the way in time for Ernesto to further gain strength.

Former New Orleans meterologist John Gumm said west is good for Louisiana. We have to pay close attention to trends and wobbles. West is good. West-northwest is bad for us. And fast west-northwest is even worse. He is a well respected meterologist. But, I bet Bob Breck will already sound the all clear for us at the 5 p.m. news. But, I have to head to work now, so I will catch up later.
