Could it be immediately TS Ernesto?


Not likely, there is not a closed LLC so it is not a depression...

yeah but in the later frames it looks like that it is trying to form a closed Circulation? on the Visable shot.

This could also be an MLC.

I can't find any evidence of an LLC, but the MLC is much stronger this afternoon. If I was to approximate a "center", I'd say 10.3N/55.4W. North of that spot, all clouds seem to be moving westward. I'd give it a 40-50% shot at becoming TD 5 within 24 hours. There is a recon set for tomorrow, so I think the NHC may wait for that before trying to classify such a system using IR imagery tonight. There might be a quikSCAT image in the next few hours. Last nights shows nothing.

yeah, that's why I didn't mention Closed LLC, Cause I can't quite tell if it is a LLC or an MLC.

Here is some facts on TS Ernesto

Hers is Ernesto in 2000....Weak tropical storm...

http://weather.unisys.com/hurricane/atl ... /track.gif\


The Ernesto of 1994,1988 where both tropical storms and fish.

The Ernesto of 1982 was the strongest at 60 knots.

So there was never a Ernesto as a hurricane.

bvichick ;) I'm not having any problems but hey, YOU live in the BVI's and as bad as the VI's and PR can be, you have the worst...haven't seen another post from you (tried to answer in the last thread but it was closed already) so hope you get it sorted out. C & W...sheesh.
I'm sticking with Luis' words...a southerly west bound on this, but not blinking yet...

Question: in order for a depression to form, does the MLC have to work its way down to the surface, or does a separate LLC have to form?

That could be broken in 2006...and there may not be an Ernesto in 2012.

This wave is looks like it's becoming slowly better organized this afternoon. Convection has increased but still appears little disorganized around the MLC and there doesn't appear to be a LLC now. It may become a TD before it reaches Lesser Antillies tomorrow.
