The low over south FL has shown up pretty clearly in the wind field over the last couple of hours. This one will be the dominant one and this means a hit further west. Also verifies what the EURO has shown...a low in the Keys by 00z tonight.

AFM: how hard a hit in the western gulf you think? seems that dry air would hinder it quite a bit.

And if this varifies that it is forming just off the coast now...it would have plenty of gulf and warm water to work with..could get big?Air Force Met wrote:Wx_Warrior wrote:The low forming further south: IE west of Ft Myers, would target Texas.

I agree with the lower forming L, which will be the dominant....Im not conceding yet but EURO sure looks like the winner thus far!

Nah. Why upgrade something that isn't certain, and is 48 hours from land, at least, when the AC will be there in the morning. I suppose if it was as obvious as all get out, based on ships, buoys and vis satellite, they might pull the trigger on an STD at 10:45 AM EDT before the AC arrives.
Just my opinion.
if the convection continues to build around it... it will be obvious by 11pm.

I got to agree with this, if it wasn't for recon coming in tomorrow, I would go ahead and upgrade to at least an STD, but with recon, I'd wait unless it makes a rapid development over the next few hours. Something to watch though

Not usre if outflow boundaries are a bad sign for non-tropical lows or not, but the big thunderstorm complex West of Florida looks to be barfing one out.

well, as we've learned with previous storms this year, it seems that this year is a year of rapid development storms from TD to hurricane in less than 24 hours. Will it get big? That is the $30,000,000 question. I think cat 1 at least, maybe cat 2 for now, but if it goes tropical sooner than we have planned, it very well could become a major, we just don't know right now.

I agree, there's nothing really impressive with this system that isn't moving inland over Florida.
My eyes are on ex-Ingrid right now.
For the record, a light year is a measurement of distance, not time.

This email just came from our work operations center. We use ImpactWeather here in Houston for our weather needs. I CANNOT verify the content of this email, it surpised me what I saw it, this is just what it says:
Background:
Tropical Disturbance 50 has organized about 30 miles west of Ft. Myers, Fla., and is expected to become a tropical depression, most likely on Thursday afternoon, Sept. 20.
The system is expected to steer on a west to west-northwest track, and then turn northwest, taking it into the mid-Louisiana coast on Saturday afternoon or evening. However, the storm could move on shore as far west as the mid-Texas coast or as far east as the Mississippi coast.
Impact:
Locations along the Gulf of Mexico coast from Matagorda Bay, Texas, to Destin, Fla., have a potential for hurricane-force wind-gusts within the next six (6) days. This storm could begin to impact the Destin to southeast Louisiana coast as early as Friday – or the southwest Louisiana or mid-to-upper Texas coast as soon as Saturday.

I could see an STD if recon finds anything interesting, maybe even a STS, at the 4:45 pm EDT issuance time tomorrow. An STD or STS, even for a mostly non-tropical low, would allow watches for the Lousiana and Mississippi Coasts a little more than 36 hours before the weather might start going downhill.

But I thought you guys were saying that some of the models were initializing the center too far North and therefore was taking it in the Mid Northern Gulf Coast, but that the center is now forming further South, meaning that it would be a Texas storm?

Some kind of surface spiral going into Canaveral on visible loop. Whether vortex or not.

What is scary: even this lowly Invest is enough to raise oil prices...

Yes...lower L would mean a more western track (IE: Freeport, TX -Lafayette, La)

I wonder if the NHC, if they were unscrupulous and had something to gain, could change their forecasts to manipulate the oil market.
I DO NOT believe the above statement one iota! I believe in the goodness of the NHC. I am just mentioning that tropical weather has an awful lot of influence on oil prices.
