ATL : TROPICAL DEPRESSION ERIKA (06L)

[Aric Dunn]

yeah umm .. this dumb thing has just reformed again to the N of the last advisory lol and it beginning to fir semi- organized convection on radar.. probably wont be enough to save her but its funny..

[Derek Ortt]

TCs do not only transport heat, they also transport momentum.

They also affect the mid latitude storm track once one goes ET. A significant TC going ET adds energy to the mid latitudes, though I am not 100% sure of the precise impact

what constitutes a TC going ET. I just can't grasp that ? is it the temps? the location? yhe conditons ofn e envionment
i'm so scientifically challenged.....

becomes cold core and frontal, with no convection near the center

hmmmmmmmmmm

[Derek Ortt]

we still have the issue of mid level shear to contend with

[deltadog03]

Derek, your right, but have really noticed that the midshear drops to near nothing north of the islands....

[funster]

It looks a little better. It shouldn't look better if it is dying, so it's probably not dying. Will keep watching to see if it keeps looking even more better.

[Derek Ortt]

however, the upper shear is horrid north of the islands

[deltadog03]

Ya its not great is it? I wonder how much of that is outflow from the high. BTW this is banding up pretty nicely on radar.

We just had a nice rain here (enough to close the windows, but barely any wind), with attendant thunder and lightning, but nothing intense and now the thunder sounds very far away for now.

Pressures falling 1 to 2 mb per hour in the British Virgin Islands and the islands of Vieques and Culebra just off the east coast of Puerto Rico. May be somewhat due to convection, but the convection that was heading for Culebra and Vieques basically died before getting there. In any case, pressure is falling several times faster than the typical diurnal falls of 1 mb per 3 hours.

Meanwhile, looks like a mesocyclone is forming on the San Juan radar.

hehe .. looks like a TD forming ..

claudette looked simiar at one point..

Ex-Erika is almost as annoying as Erika was

[fasterdisaster]

Erika's really starting to tick me off. Lady needs to make up her mind!

[Aric Dunn]

lol....

Words spoken by someone who is obviously not married..son,you have a lot to learn..

We're getting another lashing with the fringes, hard rain, barely any wind, not hearing thunder at this point, but usually it's lightening up now and it's still pitch dark

Nothing here in Vieques yet. 1 rumble and 1 lightening about 5 minutes ago, otherwise calm.
