folks, this is the beginning of the LLC, this was not there before and as such it's not outrunning the convention. What we need to see as the day progresses will thunderstorms start wraping aroun this LLC, or will the LLC be pull back or will it open up. These questions will be answer as the day progresses, right now it seems to be generating thunderstorms to the north. I mentioned earlier that the southern part was competing with the northern part if this competition stops and we see the northern part take over then we will see progressive development if not then this will dissapate as other systems have in the past.

What is that in front of the convection? An Eddy or something?

SHIPS has 21KT of NW shear over the system right now. 21KT is not very condusive for anything developing. It does reduce the shear in 48-72 hours, but the question is how much will be left of the system by then
Who's your daddy...

Most of the morning has been basically overcast with some light drizzle at times mixed with some dust haze and somewhat gusty winds on occassion.
However, we just had an intense cloudburst lasting about 20 minutes, accompanied by more intense winds, but it's beginning to lighten up again and the winds are also abating.
During the shower, the wind direction was clearly from the SSE, so I knew that the center of 97L had already passed.

Derek didn't say it wouldn't develop at all, just probably not past the depresson stage at least for 2 to 3 days. I think that's all he's saying...
I'm still not convinced they will classify this as a depression though with this much shear over the system, as it doesn't look good right now. It doesn't look like a depression to me, but I'm not MET.

I want to play golf on Saturday
I enjoy the week-ends off
You should go see the folks in Pensacola and play a few rounds in Destin. I left about two dozen golf balls there for you a couple of weeks ago. Just bring scuba gear, hedge clippers, etc., and you'll find them.

I don't mean to answer for Derek, but what I see is this morning we didn't have evidence of a closed low....now we do with winds being reported from the west and wsw on the southern end. Therefore, this is likely a TD...just with hardly any convection.

How about a wave with an associated Low? There is nothing more than that I think. They'll need to find winds of 30-35mph sustainted. I doubt it.

All morning I said this could still develop into a TD, but dont expect more for a while
just ebcause you dont get your major cane out of this is no reason to attack the mets
Actually...it's all our fault.
We are all in a large room...holding hands and chanting....
"FALL APART.....FALL APART...."
"OPEN WAVE....OPEN WAVE...."
