This is an impressive looking tropical wave. I have seen TS that look far less intense.

Now where is that low over Mexico? I'm sorry I can't see it.

Check out this radar image. The box for the marine warning is on the area of interest. IMO

All kidding aside, it really does look impressive. The banding is there.

The NHC is just being conservative so it doesn't cause people to panic.

They seemed to have totally ignored the possibility of an LLC forming just east of Brownsville. We'll see what happens but it's looking more interesting by the hour IMO.

There refering to the LLC thats inland. I would'nt even bother with that anymore Im more concern with the possible low forming to the east of brownsville. Im going to go out on a limb and say a 50/50 chance of tropical deppresion formation...

If recon would be there now it would clarify all of what it's going on.But there is no mission for it today,so they will rely on bouys,ships that may be in the area and sat estimates to make any call of upgrading or not this disturbance.

There is a new ball of convection forming further east of Brownsville in the GOM.

It does indeed look impressive. It appears that the mid-level low southeast of Brownsville is approximately stationary. The 1008 mb surface low discussed by the NHC is moving NNE by their reckoning. As it approaches the MLC (which we can easily see on the satellite), the two will begin to overlap, and feed each other, so that over the next 24 hours, there may be rather rapid tropical development in my opinion. It may really start to get going after 9 pm tonight. Overnight, it could morph into a powerful tropical storm.

I don't get it, it is clear that there is a new LLC forming well east of Brownsville and this definitly looks like a TS, so why not upgrade. remember what they said last year about Vince,"If it looks like a hurricane, it probably is."

Vaffie, I generally agree. the system is still a disorganized mess and until the centers can consolidate it won't develop. My concern is that with a upper-level high pressure, shear collapsing, and high SSTs, once (IF) it organizes, it could "gel" rather quickly. It just doesn't have a whole lot of room.

it is not clear that there is a new LLC forming east of Brownsville.

Shouldn't posts like that have the disclaimer, as one can come onto this forum and think that this is developing, when it is not

The rain isn't having any trouble coming ashore in the Beaumont area. I was in Port Arthur all morning, and here and there and everywhere in between...nothing but rain. It's varied from moderate to heavy, but it's quite consistent. Looking at long range radar, there's no end in sight, but it does get lighter between the heavy bands that come ashore.
