So it's moving back to the north and east again. The first run I saw the Canadian develop 97, it had it at NOLA, then moved it down to the BoC for a few runs. Now it's back to Houston.

I'm sure it will move again.. and again.. and again.

But probably back and forth between the central and western Gulf. [sigh]

Might be a good idea to wait until 97 is a true system, before we worry about the THC in the GOM.

The heat content of the entire Caribbean is alarming.

It's not really a good thing that we've not had any storms this year. It just means that there's a ton of energy in the Carib and Gulf waiting to be unleashed. It would have been good to have three or four tropical storms run around up in there and church up the water.

About the same place Rita came in....

These model runs will keep changing... we just have to keep watching the system. Don't panic with one model run....

(heh, who am I telling? :lol: ) I'm not panicked...just cautiously watching and monitoring.

Anyway, guys, if you look in the "When will Ernesto form" thread, KFDM Meterologist posted different model runs with different outcomes... and you'll be surprised what they are.... :P

I been trying to close a center. In I think I'v kind of closed one at 10.5/57.5. Which is on the southeast side of the big blow up of convection. A very strong eastly over the northern side...With a strong south and north on the west and east sides. There now looks to be some westward movement of the clouds. As this blow up blows up I expect this "LLC" to strengthen quite fast.

It's difficult to tell if this has a LLC without using visible imagery. From best I can tell using IR-2 imagery there still is none. I believe any upgrade would wait until during the daylight hours. I suspect TPC would more likely wait for the plane to get in there this afternoon, unless QS pass later this morning or surface obs showed a LLC.
