Just reporting what a local met just said on tv - that this system is "dissipating" and should "wash itself out" very shortly.

Its a depression any ways so if they upgraded it would only be truthful. But if they did not then its going to likely get sheared. So unlikely to strengthen.

Tropical Weather Outlook

Statement as of 5:30 PM EDT on August 17, 2006


For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico...
An area of low pressure...located approximately 110 miles
southeast of Charleston South Carolina...continues to produce
disorganized areas of showers and thunderstorms. There is still a
small chance that this system could become a tropical depression
tonight or early Friday before upper level winds become unfavorable
for significant development. Even if a depression does not
form...showers and thunderstorms with brief gusty winds could
affect coastal areas of South Carolina...Georgia...and
northeastern Florida during the next day or so as the system
drifts southwestward.
Elsewhere...tropical storm formation is not expected through
Friday.

About to get rip-sawed by shear speeding down from the north.

Can someone explain why the system wasn't made a depression? Because I sure can't. Here is NHC's definition of a tropical cyclone:

"A tropical cyclone is the generic term for a non-frontal synoptic scale low-pressure system over tropical or sub-tropical waters with organized convection (i.e. thunderstorm activity) and definite cyclonic surface wind circulation" http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/tcfaq/A1.html

Don't see anything about sustained wind speed or that the system needs to have a chance to intensify :wink:

From all the buoy reports it looks to be closed off, we have west winds off the NE coast of Florida and North winds off the upper GA and SC coasts with some 30kt winds. Looks like a TD too me.

I guest I'm very silly, but I agree with you about this being a depression. :)

It's also hooked that surface band to its NW into more of an arch meaning strengthening.

If it helps keep the actuaries off us, I hope they don't classify any of them.

I don't know what it is, but I just looked at a plot map that most models showed it tracking across N. or NW Florida.

AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE...LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 110 MILES
SOUTHEAST OF CHARLESTON SOUTH CAROLINA...CONTINUES TO PRODUCE
DISORGANIZED AREAS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. THERE IS STILL A
SMALL CHANCE THAT THIS SYSTEM COULD BECOME A TROPICAL DEPRESSION
TONIGHT OR EARLY FRIDAY BEFORE UPPER LEVEL WINDS BECOME UNFAVORABLE
FOR SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENT. EVEN IF A DEPRESSION DOES NOT
FORM...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WITH BRIEF GUSTY WINDS COULD
AFFECT COASTAL AREAS OF SOUTH CAROLINA...GEORGIA...AND

What you all have been witnessing is the effect of the Savannah Moisture Inversion Zone. It repels all fronts / storms / depressions / hurricanes / typhoons / whatever, and destroys them. It is centered over my house. I can control it, by applying fertilizer, or planting sod. :cheesy:

Really what's the difference if they call it a TD or not?
Short-lived, shear to tear it apart and of no consequence.
Summer thuderstorms are more interesting..
