Good point...
Have to admit, from a convection standpoint, it has maintained itself much longer than the previous few days.
After the last few years. Almost hate to mention the area it is heading.

VERY ACTIVE TROPICAL WAVE
IS ALONG 69W SOUTH OF 20N MOVING WEST
20 KT. CLUSTERS OF SCATTERED MODERATE/ISOLATED STRONG CONVECTION
ARE FROM 13N-20N BETWEEN 63W-78W. THE WAVE IS CURRENTLY MOVING
ACROSS PUERTO RICO AND HISPANIOLA...BRINGING AN INCREASE IN
SHOWER AND TSTM ACTIVITY TO THAT AREA AND A CHANCE OF LOCALIZED
FLOODING. THERE ARE NO SIGNS OF ORGANIZATION...AND ADDITIONAL
DEVELOPMENT...IF ANY...SHOULD BE SLOW TO OCCUR.

all_we_know_is_FALLING wrote:In all of your opinions, which wave has a better chance of developing into something and is a bigger threat? This one or 99L?
Actually, 99L has a better chance of developing. This system is in a moist environment only because of its favorable position right now. An anticyclone to the southwest and a TUTT to the northwest is providing lots of UL divergence to aid thunderstorm formation, and shear is low RIGHT NOW. Problem is, its right over Hispaniola. Later, if the GFS is correct, it will move northward, putting it in a much drier environment. GFS is WAY overdoing the intensity of this system IMO.
Successive runs have weakened the TUTT and moved it northwest after this guy moves out. If so, 99L will have a favorable environment for development in the Caribbean. Not so sure if that will materialize, though.

anyone notice a spin (MLC maybe) around 72W 18N on the visible? Maybe I am seeing things...

Well, looks like a new round of intense convection is fireing up. And the plot thickens!!!

Yeah, I started noticing it since earlier this evening, not too unusual to see MLC spin up in an area where deep convections once were with potentially tropical developing systems. Lets see what happens during maximum diurnal convection.

TROPICAL WAVE CONTINUES OVER THE NORTH CENTRAL CARIBBEAN. THERE
ARE NO SIGNS OF ORGANIZATION...AND ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT...IF
ANY...SHOULD BE SLOW TO OCCUR. NEVERTHELESS...THE WAVE HAS THE
POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL AND FLASH FLOODING OVER
PORTIONS OF PUERTO RICO AND HISPANIOLA AS IT CONTINUES WESTWARD AT
15 TO 20 MPH.

Interesting -
Do Medium Zoom over the system, about 10-15 frames. Looks like a circulation is there. Can't wait to see the visibles tomorow AM:

That spin at 17.5 72 is from yesterday and is nothing. The picture below shows the areas of possible development. The one to the west is still on the wave axis and has a sharp wind field associated with it.
The one N of PR has an upper high developing over it and PR radar is looking better all the time. Plus the two buoys are showing calm winds on the S side...

Haven't seen this posted...but MM5 shows a cyclone forming near the tip of the Yucatan on Thursday...could be the same system:
