Just saw the local affiliate on ABC here in Miami again - they're saying the storm doesn't look very promising to develop anytime soon.

It's "floating" in a geostationary orbit above Earth.

I have been busy, so I haven't had a huge amount of time to look at this system, but to me it looks like a dominant center is trying to take shape much further north and a tad bit west of where the NHC admittedly slapped a center earlier.

ivanhater - you are exactly right. ABC in Miami put the center in the GOM far removed from the convection

ABC also said the longer it takes for the convection to wrap around the center the less likely development will occur. Shear is really nasty out there.

18Z GFDL places a CAT 1 Hurricane (80 mph) on the nature coast near Crystal River around 2 PM Monday. This is about 12 hrs faster than the GFS. I think its over doing it (I hope) on the intensity. I can't see with the shear that this storm will get much past a weak to moderate TS.

this thing better hurry up because its running out of time to intensify.one example is the incredible dry air mass in the gulf of mexico.

Im seeing a possible new LLC at 20N 85W. South of the Yucantan channel and appears to moving just E of due North. In the last 2 or 3 frames there appears to be some convection trying to fire around it. This could be the center we all have been looking for.

i really doupt this will reach cat 1.TD 1 has about a 12-24 hour window to intensify because once it reaches the norhtern gulf it will begin to run into increasing shear.

I see some dry air out there but there is plenty of moisture in the GOM to allow some further strengthening of this system.

As long as the storm is in a high shear environment, it can't develop very well. I'm no good at predicting shear and whether it will continue to plague this storm.

Fortunately, we have a lot of experts here who can.

But I can note that the storm has managed to strengthen slightly in spite of the shear which is remarkable by itself. As long as the NHC continues to forecast that it will reach or maintain tropical storm status as it approaches Florida, that's good enough for me. In the past I've disagreed with them far more about projected path than projected intensity. They have a pretty good handle on that.

Are you sure it is a MLC?

It is already facing shear Christy. The center is so far removed from the actual convection because of the shear.

actually the strong wind the hurricane found were probably because of the tight pressure graidiant.think its spelled that way...lil tired. :wink:
