I would still like it for somebody to help show me how 90L is supposed to get all the way to the NW Caribbean and then start to turn N and NE towards Cuba or Fla, like some have been saying for a while now. I dont see this scenario happening but can somebody explain to me why they feel this will happen, besides using climatology as an argument. From the global model runs, I only see a strong ridge in much of the West Caribbean sea through the next 4-5 days with no end in sight for it. What am I seeing wrong?

Models seem to take 90L WSW towards 15N/80W, that tells me the models see a strong ridge, after that I don't know. It's hostile out there and it doesn't seem like any system can last to long before upper level winds wipe it out.

What we need now is for Joyce to form magically from somewhere and make Reuters eat their words when the NHC name it Kirk.
Well, there IS another invest out there right now...

Floater is homed in on the south vortex. Seems to be tracking due west. Probaby fighting the dry is keeping it in this direction. If this strengthens more the northern component will kick in eventually.

According to the 11:30 TWO, 90L has been "rolled up". I think we can almost assuredly close the book on this season. Cold air is coming, water temps are cooling and even climatology is not in favor of development this time around. We can just sit back and watch the El Nino do its thing and wait for June 1, 2007 to come around. Until then, I see nothing that indicates we will see any development, much less a threat, for the next several days- and possibly weeks. There you have it.

So funny how things change from TWO to TWO.
6 hours ago at 5:30 AM:
".and environmental conditions have become
somewhat more favorable for a tropical depression to develop during
the next day or so"
Now at 11:30 AM:
"This system
has not become any better-organized this morning and environmental
conditions are forecast to become less favorable for development"
So which is it?
Stay tuned for the next TWO at 5:30 PM to see if there is a trend.

Per the 11:30 TWO, I reverse my earlier reversal of my earlier statement (ha ha)...
That was my first impression - it was moving into an area that wasn't very conducive for further formation, since we have not one but two weak cold fronts moving through South Florida over the next 2 days, which mean more strong southwesterlies...

I still think this area may have a better opporunity in 4-6 days when the wave reaches a what will be dying cold front. The trough axis will have lifted leaving this front in the NW Caribbean. That coupled with Upper Level High Pressure in the NW Caribbean and the Gulf. I would say that if it is in perfect position it's got a chance to get going. Will be interesting to see how it plays out.

Mid to upper level winds may be a little conducive for some slow development in the next day. Beyond that I hope it doesn't sneak under an upper level high in the western caribbean or southern gulf.

To add to this somewhat more is also I would be interested to see any interaction this wave may have with a front that will stall in the NW Caribbean.
