The central convection is either shearing back away from the spiral that is pulling ahead or the system has slowed and brought the convection over the LLC. If it is shearing back there's a chance for disruption and weakening. Myself, I think we'll see another nocturnal blow-up tonight.

Remember the GFDL originally had it into the FL straits, if that Low of Georgia gets going enough, it would provide the weakness that the GFDL sees.

Been there for days and really isnt going anywhere. That's why I'm kinda wondering if TD5 is supposed to get in the Gulf, where's it gonna go with that there already?

The models last night turned TD #5 into the Eastern GOM and near the Florida West coast for some reason. Both GFS, CMC, and GFDL showed this and then they backed off some this morning...interesting..

I'm confused w/ TD5's position?? The 11am says the center is South of San Juan at 13.5/66.4! To me the center looks to be near 13.5/65.5, San Juan is near 66.8?

I don't think we're going to get off easy with this one as we did with chris. It could go anywhere but with the model consensus and the nhc track it's time for everyone along the gulf coast to take this seriously. Evacuations could begin monday in the areas affected by katrina last year if it poses ANY threat to the northern gulf as a hurricane. I Don't have a good feeling about this one at all.

That UL was supposed to have dissapated early this week.

With the upper low over the central Gulf appears stationary & maybe working down to the surface, the upper low moving slowly westward over eastern Cuba, & the possible developing system off thwe Ga. coast, how could this affect the future track of TD 5/Ernesto?? Thoughts & comments welcomed.

Heh, well, we know that didn't happen did it? And it really shows no signs of budging...

I actually think there is a chance this may be still in Carribean by Monday.
No one is going to issue evacuations if that is the case. I understand your concern but as I stated in another it's not even in the central Carribean. There are still many things that can happen to affect the future course of TD5.

Put a few beers in me and I'll be listing and lurching....

That blob in the GoM simply refuses to move or intensify or anything. It's an eyesore. :)

The ULL developing near cuba should take care of that. The global models cut off a ULL from the main ULT and bring it westward towards the
GOM in front of this system. The GFS has been fairly consistent showing this feature moving westward.

Nogaps has also been fairly consisten with the same westward track of the ULL but, weakens it as it moves westward.

In the short term they both show ULL cutting off of the ULT but, different solutions as to the the future past 72 hours.

I think it has pulled up enough already that you can discount a south track through the Caribbean.

That WV synoptic looks like a small tongue of Atlantic High is presently guiding it under those two ULL's. This doesn't look like a strong guiding ridge above the system but rather a weak steering synoptic that could recurve.

GFS loses it in the SE Gulf next week. It shows high over Florida so just don't see how Ernie would go to Florida if it survives.

I know everybody's on edge because of the Katrina anniversary but we still don't know yet if this thing will even survive because there are so many variables at play.
