Off NC/VA. Steve Lyons says it needs to be monitored. Pressures are low.

Saw somewhere in here last night that Accuweather was predicting a loop across FL into the GOM then Texas. I'm interested in that update as well!!

GFS TRIES TO SPIN UP LOW PRESSURE...PERHAPS REMNANTS OF IVAN...WEST
OF THE PENINSULA. AT THIS TIME...PLAN ON IGNORING THIS FEATURE AND
UNDER-CUTTING GFS WINDS BY 15 TO 20 KNOTS.

Oh yeah Brent,...after Accu-weather's complete I mean complete bomb- out with Jeanne I wouldn't hold much faith in what they say. Accu-weather was so darn sure of their forecast for Jeanne to move off the Big Rocky Islands coast and quickly become a Hurricane and to quote the forecaster on Fox news "Jeanne will hit the USA as a Hurricane early this week". Accu-weathers track had Jeanne crossing south central Florida due west directly into the Gulf then hitting LA.

Hmmmm,... such bravo but the main player decided not to show.
Woman can be so fickle.

Wonder how that "Frances going to NC" forecast worked out for him.

Well, tropical lows often form from the remnants of old frontal boundaries so I see no reason on why something couldn't form from the remnants of Ivan......given good conditions of course. If, by some sort of miracle, it does reform, would still be named Ivan?

[sitcommom]

So Ivan forgot his carry-on bag during his Florida vacation?........And Yes the name would still be Ivan.

TLHR, I am with you I can't see anything. I thought that what was left of Ivan's circulation was caught up in the front & raced NE of New England.
But I had read that the circulation was cut with the high level pushing with the front and the low level remains moving SW into the Carolinas. I read this in a previous local Tampa discussion.
Either way it appears some moisture will push into Pensisula Florida over the next 48 hrs.

Looking at the current WV loop I do see the dry air receding rapidly back to the west leaving a slot with what looks like some sort of circulation moving off the SE NC coast S/SE into Atlantic but it becomes lost to my eyes, except for some hight clouds moving SW towards GA-Fl. There appears to be a weak frontal trough remaining off the east coast of Florida.
Is this it? Ivan I mean?

Check out the thing off the SC and GA coasts..that's what's left of it.

does not matter.... he called this 2 days ago... and now we see it turning up in the NWS outlooks.. Funny thing is, if you look at the NRL site, if they still have it up, the last forecast track for ivan from the nhc was to loop in central north carolina... he said that he thought that wass wrong and would come off the coast of Va.. well it did right over my area here in norfolk... now, ivan is headed south along the coast... too many people hammer him when he is wrong but no one really ever gives hin credit when he is dead on... i can think of several times this year that he nailed before anyone... alex, gaston, ivan hitting alabama before the nhc forecasted it... now this...
