Re: INVEST 94L : NW Caribbean : Discussions & Images
I'll go with too soon, common sense maybe not meterological reasoning.
It hasn't developed, so we don't know where or what it is.
We're looking three to five days ahead, NAM and GFS not likely to be dead on.
Still... the apparent low is close to land, mets say it's drifting west and likely to die be stuck southward. Florida doesn't need to be on alert at all, keep one eye on it just cause it's down where Wilma, Charley , Floyd and Irene I think and Mitch ... can you imagine correctly forecasting Mitch's strike on Florida at this point in its life?
Minimal steering currents can make things way more...interesting

Re: INVEST 94L : NW Caribbean : Discussions & Images
The Latest from Jeff Masters Blog:
A vigorous surface circulation has developed in association with a broad area of low pressure over the Western Caribbean (94L). A pass from the European ASCAT satellite at 11:02 am EDT showed that the surface circulation had gotten much less elongated, compared to this morning's QuikSCAT pass. Top winds were only about 10 mph in the 11 am ASCAT pass, but have no doubt increased since then. Satellite loops show a very large surface circulation covering the entire Western Caribbean, with a concentrated area of thunderstorms forming near the center of circulation. Surface pressures remain very low over the entire Western Caribbean. Wind shear is less than 10 knots, and is expected to remain less than 10 knots through Thursday. It is likely that this system will form into a tropical depression on Tuesday, despite the very large amount of atmosphere it is trying to spin up.
Steering currents are weak in the Western Caribbean, but most of the models show a slow motion to the west or northwest that will take 94L over Belize or Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula by Thursday. It is unlikely 94L will have time to become a hurricane before it moves over the Yucatan, and the main threat from the system will be heavy rain. These rains may cause significant flooding problems in Belize and Mexico's Yucatan. Heavy rains may also affect northeast Guatemala, but should not cause significant flooding.
There is a strong trough of low pressure forecast to swing across the U.S. this week, which could turn 94L northwards into Western Cuba, the Florida Keys, or Southwest Florida. However, this is unlikely, since none of the reliable computer models are forecasting such a turn.
It is likely that 94L will eventually emerge into the Gulf of Mexico or Western Caribbean after spending a few days over the Yucatan. When it does so, it will probably be intact enough to re-strengthen, since it is such a large system. Its long-term fate is highly uncertain, as the steering currents are weak and the storm's intensity will be controlled by interaction with land.

Re: INVEST 94L : NW Caribbean : Discussions & Images
I'm not sure what data Dr. Masters is looking at to conclude that winds have increased since 11am. There are plenty of surface obs in the NW Caribbean and I still see no wind over 10-12 kts. Just a broad, weak low. Winds don't appear to have increased, though pressures are a bit lower than this morning. Looks much better on satellite loops than it does on the surface analysis. The stronger circulation is likely aloft in the mid levels, but not at the surface.
The low is about 100 miles offshore now. If it moves westward at 5-6 mph, then it'll be inland by around noon tomorrow. GFS has it inland by 7am CDT tomorrow. Not much time to become a depression, considering the very weak inflow and lack of deep convection. Not impossible, but I wouldn't call it likely.
Here's the latest plot with marine and land obs (21Z). Note that the buoy near 20N/85W just reported a SE wind at 15 kts and a slightly increasing pressure at 23Z:

Re: INVEST 94L : NW Caribbean : Discussions & Images
How many times have you read the NHC/NWS forecasts and the next day a totally different forecast. It depends alot on the strength when the trough heads south into what direction it will go. Way to soon to say it will go south or even inland for that matter. It takes alot of time down there for something to get going. I think.

Could hit SW Fla, the Keys or the entire east coast, he says...but that's "unlikely."
Interesting description of the environment, large area it's "trying to spin up."
Definetely getting more convective blobs and widespread storms hanging on. if the surface low was any more in the central caribbean, it'd be well positioned to intensify IMO.

Re: INVEST 94L : NW Caribbean : Discussions & Images
I put together a couple of charts to give you a better idea where 94L may go over the next 24 hours, and where it may track by Wednesday afternoon as the trof digs down across south Florida. The charts are mean 700-400mb (10,000-20,000 ft) wind streamlines and velocities. Note that high pressure to the north is steering it westward into the Yucatan tonight/tomorrow morning but by 4PM CDT Wednesday, the trof axis is just east of south FL and it's possible that what's left of 94L may track across Cuba but likely east of Florida:

Thanks for the obs, Wxman and focusing on the facts. And the analysis to help everybody understand and learn.
Any way you can link to the obs full size, hard for me to read much beyond the barbs.

There's a spin at Wxman's fix. How 2007 will affect it is yet to be seen.
NAM takes it east into eastern Cuba like Lenny (no way).

If a storm forms out of this any chance it could follow a similar track to Opal?

Re: INVEST 94L : NW Caribbean : 10:30 PM TWO Shortly
I would only say at this point almost anything's possible (not trying to scare panhandle folks). The models haven't suggested that track, and it's hard to know if a trough is coming that could pull it north like that. Anybody know if Opal rounded a high or was steered by a trough?
