It will be very interesting to see where it will go. You have the system out in the gulf and you have the BH to the east. Where could it really go ? :?: :?: Mets?

latest 72 hr. surface forecast has the wave in the central Caribbean in 3 days:

At that speed it would probably be entering the Gulf by July 31st/August 1st and could be a landfall issue (IF it develops) by the 2nd or 3rd of the month! :eek:

That's a pretty strong ridge they have forecasted,it may hit the Yucatan and go into the BOC instead of the Gulf.

Looks like their more convection around the low pressure center within the wave axis.

each new TWO seems to be more and more in favor of a chance of development.

Also, remember yesterday? This low was forecast to be up to 1013mb today (from 1011mb yesterday). However, it actually went down to 1010mb. Just thought I would point that out.

Yep, I can't pick up any real LLC anymore. Of course the QS eclipse is right over it this pass. I would think with the dry air keeping the convection at bay, this wave will not devlopment significantly until it clears the islands at best.

Well it is the tropics, but slow in NHC speak probably means 72 hours or more out.

I'm not writing this wave off until the fat lady sings and right now she has laryngitis.

So the GOM disturbance might be Chris and this wave could be Debby (pronunciation shouldn't be so difficult for her name also).

The NHC is probably more concerned with the GOM system at the moment. All eyes will turn to this wave in about 24-36 hours. It just needs to get the heck out of all that dust. :)

OK fair enough, it would kind of foolish to write off a wave that pronounced. I have seen more pitiful waves turn into monsters, but usually later in the year.

I'm treating this year like last even though its not the same this system should be coming out of that dry air pretty soon,but if I'm wrong I like my crow well done so it crunches with barbecue sauce.

I think tomorrow this area will look more impressive than today.

The convection continues to increase, although it's difficult to make out any center or specific rotation. The last 3 hours have seen a marked increase in convection.

No doubt about the convection increase. Especially to the north side of where the swirl is.

it is increasing as I expected....pulling in some moisture from the SW - still looking at a diurnal maximum to happen later tonight - lets see if some more reds and oranges show up

It is leaving the dust finally...
