Based on the latest sats the first thing that has to happen is some sort of circulation needs to get going and it has to do it above the SA coast. Possible mid-level starting around the above mentioned initiation point, but this one is going to have to fight to make it, at least in the Caribbean since it is going to skirt the coast. At the moment I see no indication of a low level spin. Not to say it can't develop that close to the coast because we have seen it before, but I'm not too sure the conditions are good enough for that to happen now.

It is rather hard to figure out the exact direction of motion, given the lack of a surface circulation, but the convection has certainly expanded northward throughout the day.

Maybe you're right given this sat pic :darrow:
Barbados should feel the first effects of this vigorous twave tonight, but let's wait and see as usual...

It all depends on where the low level center consolidates. This is still just a cluster of thunderstorms with some broad mid-level rotation. The LLC could form anywhere between 9.5N and 12N or so. If it forms near 11N we'll have a depression. I don't know why anyone feels obligated to trust the initial position the NHC is using. It's a good place to start, but it doesn't have to be gospel.

In the Atlantic, Tropical Depression Henri has weakened to a remnant low.

Also, about 250 miles east of the southern Windward Islands, a tropical wave was generating disorganized showers and thunderstorms. The environment here does not seem conducive for tropical cyclone development but some locally heavy rain may fall on the southern Windwards and Venezuela.

TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
800 PM EDT THU OCT 8 2009

FOR THE NORTH ATLANTIC...CARIBBEAN SEA AND THE GULF OF MEXICO...

THE NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER HAS ISSUED THE LAST ADVISORY ON
TROPICAL DEPRESSION HENRI...LOCATED ABOUT 165 MILES NORTH-NORTHEAST
OF THE NORTHERN LEEWARD ISLANDS. REGENERATION OF THIS SYSTEM
APPEARS UNLIKELY AT THIS TIME. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS
SYSTEM CAN BE FOUND IN HIGH SEAS FORECASTS ISSUED BY THE NATIONAL
WEATHER SERVICE...UNDER AWIPS HEADER NFDHSFAT1 AND WMO HEADER
FZNT01 KWBC.

A VIGOROUS TROPICAL WAVE CENTERED ABOUT 200 MILES EAST OF THE
SOUTHERN WINDWARD ISLANDS IS PRODUCING A LARGE AREA OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS. THIS SYSTEM IS SHOWING SOME SIGNS OF ORGANIZATION.
HOWEVER...DEVELOPMENT IS NOT ANTICIPATED BEFORE IT INTERACTS WITH
NORTHEASTERN SOUTH AMERICA LATER TONIGHT AND FRIDAY. THERE IS A
LOW CHANCE...LESS THAN 30 PERCENT...OF THIS SYSTEM BECOMING A
TROPICAL CYCLONE DURING THE NEXT 48 HOURS AS IT MOVES TO THE
WEST-NORTHWEST AT 20 TO 25 MPH. REGARDLESS OF DEVELOPMENT...
LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL AND GUSTY WINDS ARE POSSIBLE IN THE WINDWARD
ISLANDS AND NORTHERN VENEZUELA TONIGHT AND FRIDAY.


ELSEWHERE...TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION IS NOT EXPECTED DURING THE
NEXT 48 HOURS.

The second run from HWRF shows a little more of the system.The track slams it into Yucatan Penninsula.

That is a good point Zone... this is just a wave, it doesn't have a center. So as the wave moves W into the Caribbean, we may see the portions of the wave that are over water remain active, and a center could form along any part of the wave. As long as the majority of the wave stays over water, no reason that it couldn't develop. However, the upper level divergence is expected to be poor over the ECar, so we will probably have to wait until it gets into the C and WCar to see anything pop.

Reporting to stormcarib.com is someone in Barbados.

By Peter Allen <stilettocruises at yahoo.com>
Date: Thu, 8 Oct 2009 15:53:27 -0700 (PDT)

Looks like we should have a wet and windy nite tonite as this wave on our SE doorstep looks impressive on the satellite photo.NHC says it's interaction with land stops it from further development nevertheless Trinidad through the windward islands should be getting rain and gusty winds.Our friends in the ABC islands should keep an eye on it.Regards Peter

The convection has built on the north side of the wave so some activity will track into the Caribbean. Guess it all depends on shear now.

You know there are a lot of "if" in these maps. "If" the map is right, then the shear is not a problem.

Stupid question but I have been thinking about it. How do they come up with the invest numbers? and how do they come up with them from one year to the next? Thanks.

Invest numbers go from 90L to 99L. You start from 90 and when you reach 99, you go back to 90 and start again! Every year they use the same numbers. If you see anything from 80 to 89, then they are doing some kind of computer practices.
