Yes, he is.

Re: INVEST 99L : Gulf of Mexico : Discussions & Images
There is a weak surface low in the SW Gulf near 22.6N/94.6W, as can be seen on the image below. A trof axis extends NE from the low to the FL panhandle. Winds around the low are only 5-10 kts, so there's little or no low-level convergence. Upper level winds are unfavorable for development. Most likely the low and trof will move ashore into the northern Gulf coast between LA and the FL Panhandle today/tomorrow, bringing beneficial rain to the southeast.

Re: INVEST 99L : Gulf of Mexico : Discussions & Images
I think that deeper convection by the north Gulf coast is from convergence between the front over CONUS and the SE winds on the east side of 99L. It does appear to be entrained to the Low so if it does deepen it should pull it in towards the center. That is why I was saying look for a N then NE turn where the system can allign itself with the convection. Best rain in town no matter how weak.
This is a perfect set-up for a sleeper no one saw coming.

How come the NHC says upper winds are becoming unfavorable when the shear intensity tendency says shear is decreasing?

Re: INVEST 99L : Gulf of Mexico : Discussions & Images
Both can be true. The farther north it moves, the greater the shear. Even if shear was increasing across the northern Gulf, it's still stronger than across the southern Gulf. Instead of looking at those shear maps, look at what's actually happening - run a long-term water vapor satellite loop.

Thanks, I didn't think about that.
How fast is the low moving anyway? It's kinda hard to make out on the visible imagery.

Ok. 6 hours ago the NHC was killing this system, saying that nothing would form at all, and now, they are saying that something could form later today? Whatever.

Re: INVEST 99L : Gulf of Mexico : Discussions & Images
Well looking at the latest satellite loop in sure looks
like 99L is trying to get better organized. The conditions
currently don't look as hostile as yesterday.

Nothing like having a huge plume of rain over water while all the areas around it are in a bad drought.

It looks like most of the thunderstorms are forming along and east of the trof axis. It's going to have hard time wrapping around those storms around the center, with all the shear and dry air coming in from west and SW.

Very good news for those areas that are in deficit of rainfall this year.
The GFS late last week was showing a piece of vorticity at 850 mb, along with some rain, coming out of the BoC and heading towards the Redneck Riviera.

Re: INVEST 99L : Gulf of Mexico : Discussions & Images
99L has about 12 hours max to do anything before it gets into a very undesirable environment closer to the coast as it heads NW and/or N. Local ocm said it has a "chance" at becoming a TD or TS within the 12 hour timeframe. However if it does when it gets closer to the coast it will get torn apart.
That huge blob of rain to the NE of 99L is headed inland, which is good, but most of it won't make it up into the other areas that really need it too, besides the FL panhandle. At least some areas will get some benefit though.
