My opinion is this will remain weak and probably not develop even. If it does develop, I will simply say TD at the most. Nope, no Chantal out of this. The track will be toward the northeast and basically very little threat to land before dissipating harmlessly. Shearing winds are the big reason for lack of intensity.

On an interesting note, the Decay-Ships model forecasts more intensity than the Ships model. Hmmm...... Still, nothing much out of this system, if anything.

can i ask you to give some data that supports your 'opinion" dont just say shear and land... tell me why you think this.. some analysis.. please. otherwise it means nothing but that .. a opinion :) just asking .. it helps dont mean to sound like i against you or anything just want to know


I'd be happy to. I will say, it is kind of cliched of me to say that there is a lot of shear and that it is close to land. However, those are indeed the current inhibiting factors. Now, as it moves away from the area, it very well could become a little better organized.

However, it still is very disorganized, and it truly does need to be in a favorable environment in order to sustain itself. I did see that the shear chart shows potential lessening if it indeed moves on the forecast path according to the models. And the waters where it would travel over are slowly but surely warming in the area. However, don't forget that one key to getting development is PERSISTENCE. Can this thing persist over these type of conditions?

Given its current state, it's going to take a while for anything to form, if it does. Yes, conditions may get more favorable, but if the system can't sustain itself, it isn't going to develop. That's why I am going for no Chantal out of this invest, but maybe a tropical depression.

Now, later in the season, I may become a little more worried about potential development in this area. Andrea and Barry have indeed occurred very close to where this disturbance is located. But the environmental conditions are enough for me to say that nothing much will likely come out this disturbance.

Keep in mind, too, that I am an amateur, like many people on this board. I'm here to learn and my opinions and forecasts may be way wrong. I admit that I haven't been posting a lot so far this year about forecasts. That is because I've been trying to figure out the way this season might work.

that is fine.. i understand that .. i am also always learning.. my point for it and i apoloigize if i sounded pushy.. but when you have 2 pages of one sentence posts .. its hard to see who want to learn and who is just making things up ..


as for your analysis.. first off each system is going to be different and thus requires a little open mindedness.. we know shear does not mean it wont develop no does the land .. in general yeah .. but like i said a few pages back.. center can reform and shear can change very quickly

as for the persistence.. it has been very very persistent.. and show no signs of giving up (hmm sounds like its thinking lol j/k) it has been around for more than 4 days in various states and yeah it could easily go poof!! .. someone posted back on the old thread he ask why do people always picture "perfect condition" every time we get an invest or something of the sorts.. the fact of the matter is we can a tropical cyclone if certain conditions are met..
for instance.. we have a warm core .. and a closed circulation .. and winds of a certain speed etc... it says noting about how it looks!! (im not picking on you either :) ).. and yes everything takes time.. i know that i have watched since it was over PR and started a thread that said "increased convection " or something like that.. i changed my thinking many many times.. i just try really hard to find all the data and make a case....i dont have a degree in meteorology.. but i have shrived to learn everything possible.. over the past 15 years of following the tropics..

as for the motion ... im not sure the trough ( well the first one ) is going to be enough to pick this system up a kick it all the way out.. the latest gfs has come greatly down on the strength of that cold front and im guessing it still will come down more. it will probably get left behind after getting pulled away from the coast .. how far is the question ..

the shear should begin to give here over the next 12 to 24 hours .. allowing for the shear to drop to more reasonable levels. the biggest question is where will it leave the coast.. does it move east or reform right off the coast tonight or does it still drift west from whats left of the ridge.. i tend to say that we will see it reform of the east coast later tonight and in the morning. when we lose the land interaction from the sea breezes a little . which by the way happen all the time when we have a weak wind field .. i saw it with quite few systems that are close to land.. the daytime heating can change the low levels quite a bit.. anyway .. yeah lost my train of though .. oh well .. i just looking to get some feed back and have discussions with some data to back them up rather than some random statements.,...

95L bring me some bounteous rains
Thy beauty is unparalled

And unto thee Shall I and
my yard be forever grateful
95L thy potential is great in terms of rain
Let the precipitation fall in bounteous

and im not saying it should be a depression now or anything like .. i know its over land and that there is shear but there are still signs of that would say it has plenty of a chance to develop before it gets pushed out to see.. chantal maybe... depression maybe.. honestly i can say for sure i cant only make a analysis with whats available.. and right now im waiting to see what going to happen

First off, there's no hard feelings about disagreeing with me. If everyone agreed with each other, what would be the point of discussing things like these?

Secondly, yes, I disagree with parts of your analysis, but it is well-written. You did a good job of trying to convince me that it could develop and that it has persisted well. Maybe if it can just get better organized, I'd put more stock in this thing developing. For instance, in a previous post, you did say that there were multiple vortices, which indicates that it isn't well-organized.

Unless I see these things happen, I will be calling for this system to become no more than a tropical depression. But your analysis is good, so I may come back to it if indeed what needs to happen does happen.

1988 system was upgraded to tropical depression status while centered OVER LAKE PONCHARTRAIN, NORTH OF NEW ORLEANS. So it has happened in the past. This depression backed SW out over the bay (we call Lake Borgne) and was then upgraded to Tropical Storm Beryl, of otherwise little note.

so i have a question.. can you have a unorganized tropical storm .. ? and if so is it still a tropical storm.. ?

well if yes then a unorganized disturbance is still a disturbance and bears watching right...
?
even though there is no well defined closed low .. it is still important to not write anything off . and i guess thats my point... i only say its dead or gone when well i cant see a cloud anywhere.. lol ... otherwise i take it update at time a adjust my analysis to the current conditions so that my next analysis is better than the previous.. by just saying one thing or the other does not mean much in the weather world and i want someone to prove to me that a forecast based on old data is better than one based on new data?? becasue thats what happens a lot.. people try to prove something just based on old experiences and first glances and so on!!

but anyway how about those rain drops.. lol the wet huh?

thats funny because i think it was Danny back a few years ago .. that made landfall in mobile then moved Ne but was upgraded back to a tropical storm like 100 miles or so before it left the coast near virgina beach ( imagine though it has to do with being baroclinicly enhanced) .. but its possible.. that is another reason why i never say never. its one at a time process

Yes, you can have a disorganized tropical storm, and I do agree that this system does at least bear watching.

In fact, I don't even live in Florida; I live in Michigan. If I were in Florida and I heard about the possibility of development, I probably would be watching it too just in case. However, my biggest concern over this disturbance, at least for now, would be flooding. Of course, Florida needs the rain, so the disturbance could be beneficial for a time, ala Barry.

actually i would not be surprised if the center reformed much farther to the SE near the central bahamas andros island area..

not anytime soon though..... if at all .. probably stretching that one but oh well

being 12 miles inland from the coast here in palm beach county I have been watching the lower levels spinning but you can see the upper level clouds are not at this point by going outside and watching. The lower levels are moving looking to the north quickly from east to west. The lower level is very reminiscent of a tropical storm, but as I say the upper level is not getting involved, at least not at this point. I hope that makes sense.

Ah, Danny '97, remember it well. Wife and I were having a drink at a local restaurant in Lafayette, La. (Copeland's) when the upper level disturbance associated with a deep trough over the Miss. Valley passed down over us, on its way toward the Gulf. Very impressive, almost black out conditions that afternoon, as the squally weather moved through here. Couple of days later we were in a local casino, as the weather was surprisingly upgraded to depression status off the central La. Coast. Upgraded to Tropical Storm, Danny moved NE over Grand Isle and then the lower Miss. River gaining minimal hurricane status (75 mph) at that point. Folks in Grand Isle were shaken by the force of the storm as it passed through, several years having passed since their last experience of any kind of hurricane. Danny moved E of New Orleans and south of Miss. and stalled for awhile. Very nice radar signature for a Cat 1. With pressure of about 29.03 and winds of 80 mph, he moved into the Alabama coast. Your right, very persistent booger, he was upgraded back to tropical storm status before reemerging over coastal waters in the mid-Atlantic region. I remember John Hope giving me those facts.

This is all well and good however we have had anywhere from a 60% to 80% chance of rain, with mentions of "heavy rain" and all we have been getting are sporadic showers.
Overnights have been good with a lot of rain but the daytime heating has yet to yield the copious amounts of rain we have anticipated and yearned for. :roll: :roll:

I see that Danny was brought up as an example of a TS forming overland, given the right conditions. To be honest, I wasn't aware of that until I read the report that Aric posted (thanks, BTW). I just wanted to add my little two cents worth about Danny, as we approach his 10th anniversary in a couple weeks. I know FL needs rain, even more so than we do here. But, noone-- NOONE-- needs a Danny. That storm was horrible! I mean, it didn't have the nasty surge and wind of Katrina, of course. However, it dumped up to 50 inches of rain here! It lasted for days. I was stranded away from my DH (in our BK--before kids- days) at my sisters' home in Florida. So, I was worried about him, my parents, and other family members in Mobile as buckets of water fell out of the sky! Mobile, Dauphin Island, and other areas around here experienced devastating floods. Another Danny would definitely end the drought, but it would be a high price to pay, I'm afraid. Our governor has asked us to pray for rain. The weather freak in me is almost afraid to do so-- I don't want the rain to come packaged in the form of another Danny! So, with all that said, I hope this system gives you guys in Florida some much-needed rain, but doesn't get too intense.

As of today, there is an OUTLOOK on 95L which means a POSSIBLE POD for Sunday... we won't know until tomorrow if this does pan out into a LLI... If this system does stay together, the NHC will then decide to continue the RECON flight.

The RECON flight is NOT firm yet.... it is speculation and we are watching 95L for possible development since it is sitting in a favorable development area.
