yes. pretty sure we will wake up to a system well on its way. ( already evidence it is.)

Anyone gonna answer my question? Should we maybe be focusing on the front portion rather than the back?

That convection is just ITCZ(Inter-tropical convergence zone) activity; nothing that could devlope before 94L.

Depends on whether the low level flow picks up pace, its already going at a decent clip, could end up suffering like other systems in this area have.

If it doesn't, conditions are good barring the structural issues so you may not be far off the mark, I think Sunday eveing into Monday myself.

Certainly needs very close watching though!

this shouldnt have the same problem the sal is low and this system has is imbedded in a large moisture envelope the others suffered from pulsating convection... as you know if there is deep convection the convergence is good and a circualtion not only can form but maintain, it also means multiple vorts will consolidate easier if sustained convection is present... all said is what appears to going on atm.

Still rushing westwards at the moment Cycloneye, that won't be changing any time soon from the looks of things, at least not till 60W IMO.

Can Andrew be used as a analog in this case?

Tomorrow is too fast, Aric. The wave is fully involved with the ITCZ right now (see ASCAT), and the convection is largely on the front flank of the wave axis, which is a good sign of this being the case. Separation is going to take a couple days. I'd say Sunday would be the earliest shot, but it may take a little longer.

Too early to say to be honest, its a possiblity IF the 12z ECM solution ends up coming off.

Holy Crud! Just casually running the 18z GFS after being away from the computer and thinking a little farther west and WOW! :eek:

I do agree its still involved with the ITCZ. it does not have to take days to break off. it is as you know dependent of deep convection we can get a system to break away from the itcz in much shorter time given the right conditions.

I also did in a following post mention the sunday being the likely day for the nhc to do anything :) but by definition ( as vague as it is) happens earlier than the official word.

Right, and the convection is going to have to become more robust near the vort center closer to the cusp of the wave axis, away from the ITCZ. Right now that's not the case. Give it a few days.

exactly the convection has weakened today as developing systems typically do. tonight will help us figure things out. :)

These are the times I really miss QUIK-SCAT. I mean, ASCAT is nice, but not quite what we once had.

Quick look and it seems the easterlies aren't quiet as strong in the central Atlantic as they we're. Probably going to be the difference between this system and one like Helene.
