Nobody believes it's dead now...or is turning their back on it even.

Thanks hurakan.
I would have thought the low was farther north than 15, but that just shows there's not a closed low. That can be seen yet.
With the way the winds are blowing around this system and the ULL is providing diffluence aloft, I won't be surprised if a center eventually forms somewhere else.

Big change in wording from "possible" to "likely".

You don't see that word very often in a TWO.

I had no interest in watching this thing all night Friday. Now it's a different story. What I'm seeing now looks ripe.

Latest GFDL no longer skirts the Yucatan, but crosses it,
with landfall well south of Brownsville.

GFDL is on crack. Dont count it until 94L is officially a tc and a center is certain. Last night at this time, it had a cat5 in houston. Btw it looks like its heading is nw or nnw currently.

LOL...If I recall yesterday, most were saying 'gfdl does well' and 'dont count gfdl out'...That was after the Cat 4 hit on Texas. Now, it could be a different story since some aren't wanting a South Tejas, North Mexico hit.

Well I don't want it to hit any where so I am going to say that its going to go out to sea with out even producing a rain drop on any land masses!

But no really it does look like its getting its act together and the next Recon flight should find a closed circulation.

If a LLC is found it should go straight to TS Dolly as it definitely has TS force winds now, according to ATCF.
