ATL: Tropical Depression Edouard

[Bailey1777]

No live coverage yet probably starting this evening. By live I mean non-stop.

Can you post it when live coverage starts online??????

By the way new convection now firing up on the western quadrant as well, nothing too strong yet but the eastern side underwent a similar process aobut 4-6hrs ago.

Looks like, for the time being, a SW move should happen.

I think Ed is getting fully dressed now. Will be a nerve wracking day and night.

I seem to remember a storm earlier this season that looked like had convection heading for the center and it either just continued to float on by the center, or it ended up not really locking onto the LLC in a meaningful way. In that case, appearances were deceiving. I totally thought the storm was about to blow up. Will have watch and see I guess.

Here is a pic of Humberto, I believe that Eddy and Humberto are about the same size. Very small storms. If Eddy can develop a innercore it could bomb and bomb very fast. That is what needs to be watched.

Looks interesting Hurakan, I suppose the center is now back up that convection again it seems.

Will be interesting to see exactly where the LLC is going, it does look like its heading just south of west right now.

[physicx07]

The last two recon fixes did have the LLC moving north of west (I think the last one was around 1 hr ago over in the recon thread. It was previously at 28-00N then 28-07N. But on radar and the sat. loop someone posted it did look like it was headed more south. Could the MLC be disconnected from LLC? If so not good for Ed

Also, remember this, we have already had 1 storm strengthen all the way to the coast of texas....This *should* do that as well...

Is the west side of the storm still exposed? I wonder if shear will lessen today.

Doesn't look exposed.

I see the moisture shield expanding west.

[KWT]

It appears that the system is heading one way but you can't really argue with recon physicx07 so thats fair enough, the cente ris probably wobbling aobut because the passes before that showed about 265 as a heading

Deltadog, i agree this probably will continue to strengthening upto landfall, esp if it can fire up some good convection over itself before then.

Thanks - I see it now too. My browser was caching the old visible images.

[physicx07]

The recent convection is looking convincing that it's getting its act together. I still remember that other storm though where the convection was coincidental even though it looked so good. I'm skeptical if indeed the MLC and LLC aren't stacked well yet.

[LaBreeze]

There has been a voluntary evacuation order given for only lower Cameron Parish here in LA this morning. For places like Cameron, Holly Beach, Grand Chenier, and Creole.

You're #5!!!

The most recent long-range radar loop from KLIX is making me think that the LLC and MLC maybe connecting for sure now. There was a band of precip in between a center that seemed to be going slightly north, and another clear spot that seemed to be going south slightly (LLC?). That band has recently cleared out and looks like a larger single center of circ is forming. Perhaps...could spell the start of some serious organization.
