two different systems

#1 Postby rbaker » Tue Jul 20, 2004 4:00 pm

From latest sat views the north half of the wave is being infleunced by the ull and keeps breaking off and heading nw while the southern part of the wave keeps heading west firing up and down as typical with these systems. The southern part of the wave being just far enough from the ull s of bermuda, has the best chance of forming in the western caribbean, and then should be slowing down from its current pace. For a wave to have this much cons against it, it's holding up quite well.
Also, in wv imagery a anticyclone has formed over central fla. where a upper low has formed over the western gulf, so the shear of fla esp.central and south fl is nonexistent. Progs and models show a trough later in the week which if strong enough and the disturbance and how strong it is could make a path into the gom or fla. If it stays weak, probably will head into yucatan. Anyway thats my prediction now from all avail data. Anyone think this is a decent conclusion or analysis? :?:

The north part of the wave has that MLC related to it and i haven't decided yet if it will break off or just stay with the southern part of the wave. Right now its hard to make head or tails of whats happening because the convection is dying out somewhat and this thing probaly won't really refire untill tommorw. The southern part of the wave is holding together quite well and odds are it will develop once it reaches the west carribean and become our first TS of the season. Currently this is an east gom threat if it develops.

Our disturbance looks rather lame right now, but seems the forward speed has slowed quite a bit. Yes it should re-fire again later on tonight, but the current MLC looks weak. As it moves WNW and gets away from any vertical shear it should has a chance to develop. Looks like its in limbo right now, but cloudiness is hanging around the SW portion of the wave. It needs a spark to get it going. 8-)
