And convection has increased in the area but is there a LLC forming there is the question.Recon is programed to fly later today but if nessesary however will they go eventually?.And the other question is if we are going to see TD#11 form today?

The answers to those questions will come later today so gomers heads up.

it looks like it is getting some arch to it to me. A few hours ago I looked at it and it looked really wimpy. It is definately looking better again. Luis when will the latest model tracks that you usually put out come in?

Thunder those tropical models come out between 8:30 and 9:00 AM EDT in the afternoon between 2:30 PM EDT and 3:00 PM EDT in the evening between 8:30 PM and 9:00 PM EDT and overnight at 2:30 to 3:00 AM EDT so 4 times they come out every 24 hours.

Weak Low

#5 Postby wxman57 » Sat Aug 30, 2003 7:35 am

Looks like a weak surface low near 24N/93W. But I'm not too sure it'll have a chance to develop much. It's on the east side of a fairly strong upper-level low that's about 150 miles east of Brownsville. There's a tremendous amount of southerly wind shear across the low/wave axis. With it moving northwest at 10-15 mph it'll be into the Texas coast before noon on Sunday. And that shear is forecast to follow it westward today, so upper-level winds are not at all conducive to development.

At best, this may become TD 11 or a VERY weak TS before lanfall. It looks more and more like TS Allison of 2001. Nothing at all left of the low - no winds or rain, and 25-30 kt southeast wind east of the low. Allison produced no wind at all over land, but a heck of a lot of rain. This system may do the same. Hopefully not 35" of rain on downtown Houston this time.

Another Allison would be worse then have a strong TS hit. Keep us posted wxman57 - I know you are a busy man today.
