They will likely wait for the plane to access the intensity before making any upgrade.

Yeah, I dont see more than TD status on this unless it stays moving west.

looks like yet another fish.....

2006:
season of troughs
season of ULLs
season of fish.

I really don't care if it's a fish or it's being sheared now. I want to watch how it develops the next few days.

Maybe it'll go further west than we all think..

It should not ttake them very long to get to it. When they leave it will be pretty close.

Gordon-wanna-be. By the way, in 2000, I remember Gordon made landfall on September 17 in Florida, and that year we had 15 storms. If Gordon develops today or tomorrow, we could be ahead of that season.

Gordon likes the state of Florida.. 2000, 1994, and I think 1988 as well..

not this year - I would highly doubt if he comes within 500 miles of Florida.

Coke bet says it won't hit Florida in 2006! ;-)

No grand slam huh.. :wink:

hat trick.. but no cycle.. :lol:

#392 Postby **wxman57** » Mon Sep 11, 2006 9:01 am

Thought y'all might find this shot interesting. I zoomed in a bit into the center and saw something strange, so I zoomed in again. I believe I can see 3 and perhaps 4 vortices rotating around the center of TD 7:

wxman, what do you think about the ridge west of our system near Florida that looks to be building east quickly and pushing into the gap in the wake of Florence?

#394 Postby **storms in NC** » Mon Sep 11, 2006 9:02 am

Okay now that Flo is on her way and NHC did do a very good job with her. ANd the Models. But TD7 I have to wait a day or so to see how the models do. If they stay the same and close together then they have a good handle on this one too. But will see what 2 days brings.

Hockey,baseball and Denny's in the same sentence...WTG Josephine!!

Now that is something you don't see everyday in a TD. Good catch.

#397 Postby **storms in NC** » Mon Sep 11, 2006 9:05 am

That is a cool shot.

Josephine96 · #398 Postby **Josephine96** » Mon Sep 11, 2006 9:06 am

My sports metaphors are alive and well.. lets go Marlins.. win the NL Wild Card.. :lol:

anyway.. If the ridge builds in.. and that "gap" fills up.. It could get interesting by late week or the weekend..

Sanibel · #399 Postby **Sanibel** » Mon Sep 11, 2006 9:17 am

I think it is into Florence's wake right now and could weaken or even wipe out.

We'll see. It could just be in a minima pulse down.

#400 Postby **wxman57** » Mon Sep 11, 2006 9:47 am

Looks like it could have TS-force winds now. I think it'll be Gordon by this afternoon when recon arrives. Could eventually become the 3rd hurricane of the season. Here are a few more McIDAS shots. Vortices rotating around the center are almost gone now.
