Unless this thing sits here for days it can't strengthen into a 5 if it has to pass over Cuba and hit southern Florida. If the track takes it up the west coast of Florida then it is possible to be close or as strong as Charley. If it does decide to stall out for a long period of time it could also upwell cooler water and weaken it a little. Everything will have to pan out like the track of charley to really get cranking and not make a southern Florida landfall. I don't see this storm having a chance for a Cat 5 unless it stays off the coast and moves all the way up the west coast of Florida and hits the panhandle or does a track similar to Katrina or Rita.

I can't get the text for it, but the NRL backup site shows a TCFA for 98L.

OOPS! Sorry about that, I really haven't been following this thread very closely today.

The system is now looking rather raggedy and not very healthy on infra-red or visible imagery. This might mean a possible, at least temporarily, TD 19-type scenario.

Here is the system...
Image
Image

It has pretty good outflow; however, convection has gotten less organized. Also, shear has increased (see below), potentially weakening the system... shear is now starting to approach 15KT to 20KT...
Image

In addition, there is a large amount of dry air to the north of the system, likely contributing to less organization (disorganization).
Image

Looks like the storm may have been, for now, overhyped slightly.

True... however, shear is increasing. Looks like the environment was previously favorable, but is now getting unfavorable.

Center is south of Jamaica at this time, where shear is actually decreasing.

Convection is increasing now. It's not unusual for convection to decrease during the day.

True... however, some of (parts of) the main banding convection is within the increasing shear.

Its during the day and normally the convection dies down during the day! Wait until tonight and convection will refire! Looks like theres already a new blow up of convection forming! IMO we already have a depression since they have found west winds so that means theres a LLC. most storms don't go from nothing to Tropical storm so just give it time! Just b/c convection looks to be dieing down doesn't mean anything in the long run right now!

Starting to look like it might get sheared apart. It looked alot better earlier. looks like it has a chance to become a weak Cat 1 in time.

I think we have had enough of your incessant trolling. I recall you also said the season was dead several times.

LOL! No sense jumping at every little fluctuation.

This thing doesn't look too bad at all. Tons better than, say, TD 12 did 36 hours before it made landfall in Florda as a Cat 1 Katrina.

(Not that I'm saying this will be another Katrina)

Guessing is not this forum objective, lets wait for the NHC to comment on the current situation and possible future.
