Who ah! An August cyclone. Boy is it tiny. We have to worry about them tiny ones- when they make it through the gauntlet, they can be pretty ugly on the other side. Andrew, Labor Day- those were all tiny hurricanes in comparison. The deck is certainly stacked against TD 3 this time around. Franklin is a good forecaster- we shall see if he nails this one right out of the gate. Since the globals are against TD 3, I will lean towards his forecast coming to complete fruition. Makes sense to me.

The ULL east of the Bahamas will eat TD3 for breakfast and will be toast for lunch, but this is the pattern change in the tropics so it will be a ride the rest of the season. According to NWS Miami the ULL will be in the Gulf by Thurs /Fri so I'm keeping a close eye on TD 3 in case it becomes Chris.

They're where? Translation please!
That portion isn't intended for the general public. Check http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/ for advisories.
That's where I got the above statement. That's why I'm confused.
Let me clarify. That part you posted is directed for meteorologists. Don't worry about it.

I totally agree with you there, why would Franklin put more stock into the UKMET's forecast of keeping the ULL stronger than the rest of the models, also, remember that most global models don't do well with small tropical cyclones.

Mark, you better top-off the Tahoe's gas tank just in case.

The depression will be lucky to survive a couple of days. There are many factors working against it, small circulation size, shear, dry air to name a few. I am really surprised the NHC upgraded it. Perhaps the folks over at the NHC are still giddy about the Presidents visit today????.....MGC

As long as all global models dissipate the system, and only SHIPS intensifies it (hardly trust that model anyway), I have no problem saying it will likely not become Chris until I see proof of otherwise. The upper low will shear it to death and dry air will aid in the cause, in my opinion.

Why are the wind probabilities (on the NHC advisory package) so high then? >50% seems high when the discussion boldly calls for disappation.

Models aside, maybe there's little shear for 36 hours. The thing that should keep this depression from becoming Chris is the dry air. Maybe the dry air won't dissipate the system per se, but it very well could prevent it from intensifying as well. Then, the shear will kick in and kill the depression. That's my thinking, right or wrong.

Yeah, but isn't a small circulation an advantage also because it can more easily intensify like when wilma reached her peak?

Can someone give me the direct link to the watch/warning and probability maps, the jpgs, not their huge page of all those maps?
Not http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/refresh/graphic ... shtml?5day, just the jpg file???????????

You make this upgrade sound like it made it to hurricane status. if this doesnt develop much more than the model consensus is more correct than not.

This was said many times for 99L. "It will never become a TD". Well look it has. It has overcome a much worse environment. IMO we will see at least a TS out of this.
