Re: ATL: INVEST 94L East of the Windward Islands
I don't think the Quikscat is all that impressive wind wise. There is definite mid and low level circulation. I thought for sure the way things were going last night that we'd have Cristobal by now.

The nhc will went to see convection remain over the LLC for 12+ hours before they upgrade. Also they will went to see low level convergence developing to make sure that they are not wasting their time. I think it will be 11am tomarrow.
Alot can happen in a very short amount of time. 11pm EST is a ways off still so they could upgrade tonight. Structure appears to be improving quickly!

Obvious cyclogenesis. All depends if conditions let it further develop.
Yesterday the convection flare happened later in the day. Plenty of deep convection to its south today too.

I don't care what the models are saying, this is one good looking invest. 94L looks better than a number of those sheared TD's we watched last season.

Of course they did.
And welcome to S2K. (Is it still a welcome when you've been lurking for 3 years?)

Re: ATL: INVEST 94L East of the Windward Islands
I still think it needs more convection for an upgrade, especially that area of nothing in between the two areas. I'll be really surprised if it's a TD at 5. But it won't take much if a blowup does occur.

Re: ATL: INVEST 94L East of the Windward Islands
As already stated, one burst of convection near the center will probably warrent an upgrade. However, I don't look for anything to happen til' 11pm at the earliest.

I'd be shocked beyond belief if they upgraded this before 5am tomorrow.

I find it hard to ignore that twist and formation of new T-storms to the south...

Probably not, but I don't have much too add. However, I get great info from all you guys and girls and it keeps me alert here in New Orleans. I figured this was something you would find interesting. OK back to the back row.

Yeah Sanibel, there's a lot of fuel on the south to support convection, it's amazing very huge amount, matter of time for 94L..

Re: ATL: INVEST 94L East of the Windward Islands
Looks like a healthy well-formed circulation waiting for convection to start up the cyclonic engine. If Bertha's weirdness translates to 94L at this latitude it should form.

Looks like the Sun Sentinel may have jumped the gun a bit.

Compared to most of the invests I have seen over the last two years, I would agree with Blown_Away in saying that this one looks pretty good. In fact, 94L currently looks better to me than some classified systems we have seen in the past...
TD #6 (2003) = http://www.eis.noaa.gov/NNVLfolder/TDSi ... 1945zB.jpg
TD Kyle (2002) = http://www.noaanews.noaa.gov/stories/im ... 10-02b.jpg - - No convection even near the center, yet still considered a TD.
TS Melissa (2007) = http://blog.nola.com/hurricane_impact/2 ... 07_avn.jpg
TD Chris (2006) = http://static.flickr.com/86/206648412_66099b8116.jpg
94L (Current) = http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/goes/flt/t2/vis.jpg
...This is just my opinion though.

Re: ATL: INVEST 94L East of the Windward Islands
If this become Cristobal,and we also see Dolly form this month,it will officially be an above average period for storm formation.The average is two in July. A US hurricane strike in July is very rare.I hope it doesn't happen this season
