Re: ATL: INVEST 90L

#61 Postby hurricanes1234 » Fri Aug 03, 2012 6:55 pm

The structure of this system is now on the verge of tropical cyclone status, and as the NHC said, the showers and thunderstorms have become more well-defined over the past 6 hours. I think at 11 PM tonight, we may be looking at a near 100% chance of development and at 2 AM, a fully-formed tropical depression. Or, at 11 PM tonight, we may be already looking at a TD. If this forms into a TD within the next 24 hours, it may have a shot at becoming a major hurricane, but only briefly, because the SSTs around 90L are not as warm as the SSTs Ernesto is embedded within. Not only to mention, the air is relatively dry as well.

the TWOs only come out at 2am, 8am, 2pm, and 8pm. So if it doesn't get upgraded at 11 tonight then at 2am would be when it gets upgraded to 100% if it does... If it doesn't get upgraded at 11pm then we won't get any kind of update on it until 2am.

Can see some banding features particularly on the southeast and southwest quadrants. Not sure the last time we saw a 'code red' for a system east of 30W. Impressive.

I honestly didn't see that one coming..figured they would wait until 2 for an update. We'll see how well she makes the trek across the big ocean..

So is it a TD or not? Or was it briefly a TD then weakened back to an invest?

They probably made a mistake in transmitting the data. It should still be a TD at 11PM EDT.

I'm looking at 15-minute METEOSAT imagery and it sure looks for all the world like it's a TC right now. It's just a matter of the trigger being pulled.

Yeah, it was a TD for 1 minute then weakened to a low right after :lol: :P . Its all over the place, I think its a TD right now.

Agreed.

What's funny is both Ernesto and 90L look almost exactly the same right now, how often does that happen? :lol:

Look at the Atlantic wide view - 90L is slowly appearing to the left side of the dark area in the extreme right of the image.

How do you turn off the auto-update on the images posted, like this one???

The NHC can be conservative for 90L as it is no threat to land anytime soon. If it was in 91L's position and the same structure, they would have to initiate advisories ASAP as warnings would be needed.

Doesn't matter, if something qualifies as a TD or TS; it should be labeled as soon as possible, for the sake of historical accuracy.

That would be the case in the BT in the end afterward, not necessarily operationally.
