Looking at the Key West Radar I dont see anything but a big blob of showers.....but then again I can't see anything at the surface.

Just remember, large clusters(blobs) of thunderstorms fire all of the time in the Caribbean sea, then the next day you look and they are gone. This is quite typical.

the key west radar would be too far away to see the surface

KEEP IN MIND, I HAVEN'T LOOKED AT LOOP, AND THIS IS TOTALLY A BIG GUESS!


I looked at the water vapor loop, and to my untrained eye, that same spot jumps out ... pretty much in the middle of a triangle formed by the SW Bahamas, Cuba, and Miami.

A NE jet of 40-60 kts is heading southwest toward the wave. Here's a plot of 200mb streamlines (purple), wind barbs (yellow), and a 1mb surface pressure analysis (blue). Upper lows are blue, remnants of Chris the red "L".

They aren't that unfavorable. Lot's of speed divergence and the actual winds are light near the system in relation to movement with divergence over it:

http://cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/tropic/real- ... g8dvg.html

Plus the jet will stay away from it....if not provide for some good outflow channels a little later on down the backside of the low.

Now...there isn't a LLC...but the convection over the water is being caused by the conveergence withint the wave and the divergence aloft...only time will tell if it reforms a LLC further north in the straights...which is a possibility I mentioned yesterday. I doubt HIGHLY any LLC will form where it was...it will be further north where the dynamics are....which is where the convection is now.

10:30pm TWO:

A BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE...ASSOCIATED WITH THE REMNANTS OF
FORMER TROPICAL DEPRESSION CHRIS...IS PRODUCING SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS THAT EXTEND FROM CENTRAL CUBA NORTHWARD TO SOUTHERN
FLORIDA. THIS ACTIVITY SHOULD SPREAD ACROSS THE FLORIDA KEYS AND
WESTERN CUBA TONIGHT AND SUNDAY...AS THE SYSTEM MOVES WESTWARD
AROUND 15 MPH. SOME POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR SLOW DEVELOPMENT ONCE THE
SYSTEM MOVES INTO THE SOUTHERN GULF OF MEXICO OVER THE NEXT COUPLE
OF DAYS.

If this does still have a LLc or formed a new one (I doubt anyone knows for sure) it would at least regain it's TD status. IMHO

LITTLE IN ORGANIZATION THIS EVENING...SOME SLOW DEVELOPMENT IS
POSSIBLE OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS AS IT MOVES SLOWLY WESTWARD.

BTW, maybe we should change the topic title to "Remnants of Chris" or something like that.

Well, if this does develop, I'll have no problem eating the biggest plate of crow you can find. Heck, you can even hand-feed it to me. :lol:

I still think they are just being cautionary, can't blame them for that though.

I suspect the convection is north of Cuba because Chris has reached the southerly flow associated with the GOM ULL.

But this is definitely a contracting of the convection - which is a sign of organization (just as it pulls over Cuba).

Center relocation?


From my post yesterday:

"OK...I'm gonna talk some crazy talk here. Given the gradient is weak...and since the upper level winds are more favorable to the NW and there is some convergence over there...plus since it is moistening up...what if...

During the diurnal max we get a blowup of convection in the NW quad and the LLC gets sucked up about 1-2 degrees to the NW?

Just an idea...not saying it is going to happen...just wondering out loud."

It might be happening later than I thought...but...
