ATL: Tropical Depression Dolly
Moderator: S2k Moderators
It's unfortunate that many of the well informed amateurs and meteorology students can gain poor standings and reputations here because of scandalous, audacious trolls.
In regards to changing views, it is essential in the field of meteorology to alter forecasts if deemed necessary; small changes in the thermodynamic and synoptic environment lead to future adjustments.

TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
800 PM EDT WED JUL 16 2008
FOR THE NORTH ATLANTIC...CARIBBEAN SEA AND THE GULF OF MEXICO...
THE NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER IS ISSUING ADVISORIES ON TROPICAL
STORM BERTHA...LOCATED ABOUT 360 MILES NORTHEAST OF BERMUDA.
A BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE IS CENTERED A SHORT DISTANCE
SOUTH-SOUTHWEST OF BARBADOS IN THE WINDWARD ISLANDS. AN AIR FORCE
RESERVE UNIT RECONNAISSANCE AIRCRAFT RECENTLY COMPLETED ITS MISSION
IN THE DISTURBANCE...AND FOUND A BROAD CLOSED CIRCULATION BUT NO
WELL-DEFINED CIRCULATION CENTER. IN ADDITION...THUNDERSTORM
ACTIVITY WITH THIS SYSTEM IS NOT AS WELL ORGANIZED AS IT WAS
EARLIER IN THE DAY. HOWEVER...ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS IN THE
EASTERN CARIBBEAN APPEAR CONDUCIVE FOR FURTHER DEVELOPMENT...AND
THIS SYSTEM COULD BECOME A TROPICAL DEPRESSION AT ANY TIME TONIGHT
OR TOMORROW AS IT MOVES WESTWARD AT 20-25 MPH. LOCALLY HEAVY RAINS
AND GUSTY WINDS ARE LIKELY IN THE WINDWARD ISLANDS FOR THE NEXT DAY
OR SO...AND INTERESTS THERE SHOULD MONITOR THE PROGRESS OF THIS
SYSTEM. ANOTHER RECONNAISSANCE AIRCRAFT IS SCHEDULED TO
INVESTIGATE THIS SYSTEM TOMORROW AFTERNOON.

basically, they make educated guesses. Which is what anyone with a bit of knowledge about any of this will tend to make. and thats just human. there is nothing wrong with making an educated guess. Scientists are really great at it.

Re: ATL: INVEST 94L in Eastern Caribbean
I just looked at the Loop and Shear seems to be decreasing at the Moment. It's Amazing how Shear can all of sudden drop off without warning.

Re: ATL: INVEST 94L in Eastern Caribbean
I think the low pressure system west of it is making way for invest 94L. Not directly but perhaps as a result of it being there.
thats all I can think of anyway. It looks remarkably clear just ahead of the invest.

Re: ATL: INVEST 94L in Eastern Caribbean
Upper-level shear looks more favorable in the Eastern Carribean, according to CIMSS:

There is big upper-level ridge over the Central Carribean.

Well exactly, most science in general, and meteorology especially, are at best educated guesses.

I wouldnt call the tropics right now "calm". Very disorganized, but certainly not calm.

Wow! It sounds like they are worried about some development from one of these disturbances. It could be another very busy year.
