Fabian remains with 3.5 T number so at 5 PM it still wont be a hurricane but it is getting close to be one.

Gulf

#6 Postby wxman57 » Fri Aug 29, 2003 1:48 pm

I just saved a snapshot of the Gulf with sfc obs. I can see that broad spin in the low clouds out there - much too broad for any rapid development. But the overall apperance is less organized than this morning. Also, models are now taking it inland Sunday evening rather than on Monday, so less time for development. Looking more like maybe a TD or weak TS at landfall and sooner rather than later - despite the new BAMM moving it to Victoria, TX in 48 hours then back out into the Gulf.

The TW is still over the Yucatan.

Wxman, I think the area we should be focused on is the MLC developing off the northeastern tip of the Yucatan. The little LLC in the south central gulf will probably fade away once things really get going by the yucatan.

I definitely agree that this tiny vortex is not the focus for development. In fact, in more recent imagery it is dissipating. We need to look down near the northern Yucatan.

Oh, and that little vortex is the same one I pointed out this morning. Now it's moving to the southwest.
