ATL: INVEST 91L - Discussion

#1 Postby cycloneye » Sun Oct 04, 2015 6:40 am

Post away for Tropical Wave SW of CV Islands.

AL, 91, 2015100412, , BEST, 0, 105N, 278W, 25, 1010, LO,

Thread at Talking Tropics forum that was the topic for this area.

viewtopic.php?f=31&t=117624&hilit=&p=2485016#p2485016

A broad low pressure area located several hundred miles southwest
of the Cape Verde Islands is producing a large area of disorganized
showers and thunderstorms. Upper-level winds are not particularly
conducive for tropical cyclone formation and any development of this
system should be slow to occur during the next several days while it
moves west-northwestward at 10 to 15 mph.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent
* Formation chance through 5 days...low...30 percent

We have a stretched vorticity at the moment. Lot's of convection, shear still around though. ECMWF not developing while the GFS (00Z run) shows some possible development down the road as it recurves north of the Leewards

Unless a big subtropical ridge establishes it will evade the Caribbean islands. However,maybe some rain arrives being so large the moisture envelop even if it goes NW.

Quite an impressive wave. To put the size of it in perspective:

This is a very large system (looks like a monsoon-gyre-like, so future track will depend on where the actual low consolidates). I am seeing some pretty could spin towards the SW area of this blob at the moment. (9N, 42W) and looks to be heading W or WSW:

8 PM TWO:

A broad low pressure area located about midway between the Cape
Verde Islands and the Lesser Antilles is producing a large area of
disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Upper-level winds are not
particularly conducive for tropical cyclone formation, and any
development of this system should be slow to occur during the next
several days while it moves west-northwestward at about 15 mph.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent
* Formation chance through 5 days...low...30 percent

Looking at the big picture this evening, the wave is certainly looking good still with a large area of disorganized convection. Looks to be heading west at a good clip still. Data from RAL shows 13knots for the 00Z update but seems faster to me. I see the models are shifting a little more to the west in response to the continued west movement.

If it re-fires it's in a dangerous, low initial position at 10N.

It looks to me like the area to watch is on the SE side of 91L

There's nothing at their initialization location. There's a faint swirl near 45W-15N.


That follow-up disturbance looks like it has the better chance.
