Also to me this system don't look to bad....Convection trying to fire over it again over the last few frames. If they fine more west wind then if convection fires over it it will only strengthen it. I don't expect this thing to die...But just have a hard time developing intill it slows down, to allow the tutt to move out of its way.

This may sound stupid but I have to ask it. Can a partial circulation not closed off cause a SSW wind on the south side?

I think he was using a flawed GFDL ( I think) model that has since been proven to have been incorrect (I think)

I know pretty pathetic post but there has been so much on the board that my memory my be miss-serving me.

I believe I read where the GFDL was "off" this morning and was not to be trusted.

If I am wrong, blaze away, y'all

8-)

Or I'll just go back and edit out what I have just said!

I've seen all I need to see.

97L's convection has thickened and is hanging behind the sheared LLC. I don't see this stopping from here due to climatology and similar systems showing such behavior from this point of origin.

I'd say we have a go here most likely.

If it was under 25 knots then I would say yes. But at 27-31 knots not likely...

Scarborough, T&T has been reporting SSW winds for 3 hours with SLP down to 1011MB.

Still don't think recon will find this is closed off, but will find a highly amplified T-wave.

you can have a SSW wind and not a closed TC

must have a complete 360 degree wind circulation to have a true TC

If convection begins to regenerate itself again, is it possible an upper high could form again, or the one over S.A. move back over it?

The point being when this slows down that persisting convection should catch up to it and develop. Storms that show good convection when sheared usually develop.


Are you sure?



I have 3 busts this year - no hits.

If we eliminated the drama and hype and just discussed actual meteorlogical conditions, these threads wouldn't be 70 pages long for "just an invest".

Just my two cents which I am sure will get about 5 pages of flaming for speaking my mind.

--Lou


Nope, no flaming. As someone who had to catch up by wading through 10+ pages of good posts, as well as nonsense posts, I have to ask: please, think about what you want to say and formulate one post, instead of so many of the same people using the thread like a chatroom. The site is getting busy as well, and I think we all want to do everything we can to keep the site up and running with no interruptions.

Informative posts are getting buried within mere minutes.

A good little reminder that will only take a couple of minutes to read:

I can always tell when somthing is brewing by the number of members online! I want to get a task bar pop up that will feed it streaming to my computer! Here is my new scale

>50 Enjoy your day, all is well

50-100 Log on and check out whats brewing

100-200 Somthings up, time to check in and see what the pro mets are saying.

200-500 You missed the boat and may need to stock pile supplies or warn relatives

500 or more. Call in sick drop all your plans and tune in until you pass out at 4:30 in the morning
