ATL: TROPICAL DEPRESSION ANA (02L)

[Sanibel]

18z GFDL runs the wave feature of TD2 into Florida. Something to consider if GFDL hadn't yet picked up on development.

[Brent]

I'm about 99% confident that this will become Ana before 90L will. 90L simply has too far to go, so unless we see this suddenly poof, which looks unlikely, it's going to be our first named storm.

Agree.

and I'll be very surprised if this is not upgraded at 11.

[Aric Dunn]

I just cannot fathom how this is not a TD.

oh it is ... its just semantics.. at this point..
by definition it never was not a depression .. since it had a closed circulation... on top of that winds are only defined as <35kts

[brunota2003]

Banding like features setting up on the SE side of the system?

[Tropics Guy]

She's deepening tonight,entering a lower shear environment, IMO think Ex#2 will be upgraded again at 11p or latest at 5a if deep convection holds....................

I think this will be TD 2 once again in one hour.

I think this will be TD 2 once again in one hour.

I'd be shocked if it wasn't. If anything this is looking better right now than it ever has.

[ronjon]

Why not upgrade to tropical storm Ana - surely must be 40 mph by now.

well all of this activity should make some people giddy with excitement, wave going through sofla tonight, td2 making a decent rebound which is rather unusual then the big player next week

[Sihara]

Wouldn't it be ironic if we end up saying, 'if it only had developed 5 days ago it might have been a fish by now'?

So true, and from what was said when it was turning into a TD, that's just what it would have done. But it didn't strengthen - barely survived - and avoided the fishing trip. Persistent, that it is.

don't rule out ex-td2 trying to steal some of 90L's thunder....

I think TD 2 looks better than 90L right now on sat.

thats very possible..

Its Friday evening, and I should be relaxing, but I can't get the potential 1-2 punch TD2 and 90L could present to the Caribbean, and maybe Florida (unlikely that both would effect us though, right?) off my mind. I think both these systems will be upgraded tonight.

[Aric Dunn]

well according to the latest quickscat.. it only supports 30kts.. but those readings within the deep convection are contaminated and are likely higher than that .. minimal tropical storm strength is not out of the question..

I wouldn't be able to relax much if I lived in Plantation, FL. The City of Plantation, FL is one of our clients, by the way. After last year (Ike hit and no power for 2 weeks) I've seen enough hurricanes.

yep .. lol just a td.. though ..

if convection continues over night and into the morning then we will have a ANA..

[jinftl]

i am 10 miles EAST of Plantation....lol....and yes, i do remember the 14 day power outage post-wilma....ugh...(luckily it wasn't august heat at that time)
