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:

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.



The million dollar question is: if the center did reform further North what would that do to the projected track?

Seems to me, before the decapitation (a few days back), that Chris was going to track between these two ULL with the possiblity of tracking around the high aided by the current ULL (in the GOM) to bring him into the mid Texas coast. Pulling him more northward if you will.

That's my guess too. The ridge is too strong.

In a general sense yes, but not exactly. If you look at the 00Z surface analyses from TAFB and NCEP you will see that they placed the low, further south over the islands that are north of "mainland" Cuba.

Well...you do know you reserve the right to ignore this thread.

I've been here on this site for three years...so I think I've earned the right to talk about any blob of convection I want too...even if you think it is a waste of time.

Thanks. :wink:

Guy's after watching Chris for the last 5 days I would not write him off. No matter how pathetic he looks he seems to do just enough to buy himself another day. Eventually I think we will have something to track. Have a little patience. If you read between the line I think the NHC realizes that too. The 5pm advisory left little hope for Chris, but I think the wording in the 11pm opened up a little crack for him.

Yes I noticed as well but if you check the KW radar, showers don't seem to waning yet.

AFM on satellite the coverage of convection is decreasing but on radar individual ts cells are growing over the water near the center, what does that tell us?

You are bleepin'-A right AFM. I know we agree and disagree on stuff from time to time, but this is one where I have your back.

Mad? At what? You don't have to apologize, but seriously. Mad? What the? Are you 15 or something?
