I thought winds needed to be 30 mph for a Tropical System to become a Tropical depression.

Looking at the GFS and other models I see a weakening mid to upper level ridge which, if this thing eventually gets organized enough would allow it to move NW and possibly not into the Caribbean.

9z wind shear analysis from CIMSS this morning indicates that this maybe heading towards an area of higher shear (20kts) soon:

20 kts isn't nearly enough to destroy it.

but look at all that lower shear right after.

No, but it will probably impede it's development today somewhat.

Looks like it's already been impacted by shear, at least the northern portion of convection.

So far there hasn't been any improvement with this system. It could improve down the road, nevertheless. Time will tell.

Yeah, but it will have to survive that today before it can develop this weekend. 12z map just came out shows even more shear.

As long as it maintains its convection it should be ok.

If this system reach the 50W with a LLC or at least some organization, we may expect some development after this point.

I'm unimpressed with potential for Invest 99L.

FWIW, freebie map from this morning

No, there is no such requirement. It must have a closed low-level circulation and, generally, convection over/near the center to be upgraded to a depression.

well, it is approaching an area where the heat content is higher than where it just came from... get the shear to relax, and work with the dryier air a bit, it still has a chance.....and the air where it is located is not all that dry either... i have seen this a lot over the past several years in the early stages... just when you think it is starting to lose convection and fall apart, it seems to be taking a breath and begins to re-strengthen... lets see what it looks like tonight... heat content map below..

Looks like the dust is getting to the system as I expected, but, it should get out of the dust later today.

I am really afraid about when we have an organized system reach the NW Caribbean!

Where are the GFDL, GFS, and the UKMET when you need them.

I'm not worried, according to JB the east coast is safe until at least Aug 5 :lol:
