Re: Area of convection (Former 92L)
you know i have had a hard time discerning where the ULL has been over the last two days, it seemed poorly defined (at least to me) and hurrakan your graphic helped out a bit
the LLC is barely moving and upper level conditions are changing for the better (IMO). i don't think the odds are better than 35% but with this thing being practically stalled at 77-77.5 west/27 north we shall see what the day brings
and i threw a couple crowe's in the over , just in case
P.S which way is this thing being steered NOW nw? drift?

Yes there is a surface reflection for sure. Curious if this will float into the GOM during weekend. Small weak surface reflections can grow into tropical cyclones this time of year if the upper level conditions become favorable.

The rotation by Grand Bahama/GreatAbaco could get energized by the moisture moving in from the SE. Its currently sandwitched in dry air and moist air leaving westboundover by Tampa.

Re: Area of convection (Former 92L)
don't see this floating into the GOM unless something decides to push it, at the pace it's moving it would take a long time. i think it may be pushed NW slowly(maybe N)
but the winds are picking up

Yes the winds are picking up but pressures are actually rising up to 30.02 inches.

Re: Area of convection (Former 92L)
I'm patiently waiting for our 92L wanna be to get juiced by the moisture to its SE. Its about 25 miles away but on its way.

Re: Area of convection (Former 92L)
steering currents should push this NW slowly then a bend to the west. I don't see it having much time to get going before moving over the peninsula.

Re: Area of convection (Former 92L)
Long range radar loop out of Melbourne Fla. suggests there is some turning about 125 miles east of Melbourne.

Re: Area of convection (Former 92L)
NWS Miami has yet to acknowledged this low-level feature as it calls for mostly E winds for its marine forecast for the waters off Palm Beach.
I expect them to update this to indicate N to NW winds expected today and tonight at about 10-15 mph.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIAMI FL
1000 AM EDT THU AUG 23 2007
.UPDATE...
THE TROPICAL WAVE OVER THE BAHAMA ISLANDS HAVE WEAKENED THIS
MORNING...BUT IT ALSO HAS DEVELOPED A WEAK LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM
JUST NORTH OF GRAND BAHAMA ISLAND. THIS LOW HELPED TO KEEP THE CWA
MAINLY DRY OVER THE CWA LAST NIGHT AND EARLY THIS MORNING...DUE TO
THE SINKING AIR AHEAD OF THE LOW. THE LOW ALSO HELPED TO SET UP A
LAND BREEZE ALONG THE EAST COAST AREAS THIS MORNING WHERE A FEW
SHOWERS WHERE OCCURRING OVER THE NEAR-SHORE ATLANTIC WATERS THIS
MORNING.
THE LOW WILL MOVE SLOWLY TO THE SOUTHWEST TO WEST DIRECTION
THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON TOWARDS THE CWA...AS THE STEERING FLOW IS
FROM THE EASTERLY DIRECTION. THIS WILL HELP TO BRING IN TROPICAL
MOISTURE TO THE CWA FROM THE ATLANTIC WATERS FOR THIS AFTERNOON
INTO THIS EVENING. THE WINDS AROUND THIS LOW IS ALSO LESS THAN 10
MPH...THEREFORE BOTH THE EAST AND WEST COAST SEA BREEZES SHOULD
SET UP THIS AFTERNOON WITH THE EAST COAST SEA BREEZE BEING THE
MAIN SEA BREEZE THAT PUSHES ACROSS THE CWA.

Re: Area of convection (Former 92L)
I don't see why this one wouldn't( I know double negatives) develop in the next 48 hrs. From what I seen on the forecast models the ULL should continue to move off to the NW or WNW, might even start moving circulation to the north.

Re: Area of convection (Former 92L)
You can see a clear view here of the naked swirl with no convection.Dont see much happening there.

This Low is causing subsidence over the peninsula. It's actually the worse possible situation for parched central FL as instead of this thing coming across as a wave, the low that has developed is causing NW winds to bring in dry air...so chances of rain across central Florida will be very low today.
Perhaps as the low moves west and the winds come in out of the South and southeast will chances of rain increase.

Re: Area of convection (Former 92L)
Interesting little feature. Lack of convection probably means it will die out over time. I noticed that pressure dropped 3 mb over the last 24 hrs at the buoy east of the Cape. It apparently is not moving so the longer it sits the better chances it can pop some convection. Does anyone remember the CMC model several days ago brought low pressure to almost this exact position and every so slowly drifted it W-NW across to Tampa - but it took it a couple of days. Maybe the CMC was on to something but just had the intensity wrong?

That poor excuse for a low is drifting NE,you can see on the visible.

I suppose a slight drift to the east - but to me its just wobbling around aimlessly. By the way, on SSD they have it labeled as a 1014 mb low.

Re: Area of convection (Former 92L)
I'm alittle surprised that the low is not moving much because high is stll anchored over the SE US which pushed Dean westward all the way to Mexico. This low should start moving back westerly givern the position of the high.
