Re: ATL: Invest 92L - Central Atlantic
And if it stays this way,beneficial rains would be welcomed for some of the islands as a drought has been around for some months now.

Re: ATL: Invest 92L - Central Atlantic
I think your seeing why the gfs model keeps this like it does..''spluttering'' and eventually starts fizzleing it out thru and beyond the islands, admittedly the models do have there times when there off but IMO i think they are on the ball with 92L, the gfs as backed of a little also with the wave behind 92L, IMO i'm not expecting much from 92L and i think it will frustrate a lot of people in here who would love to track a decent system, you may have to look at the wave behind 92L unless the models have other ideas with that to, i know one thing for sure, these waves are going to have a hard time if they manage to get into the caribbean graveyard.

11ºN, 47ºW seems to be area of greatest spin, visible on rainbow infrared imagery because storms are displaced to the West. Almost as if shear from the East is the problem.
Sun has risen on 92L. Will have visible imagery soon.

Re: ATL: Invest 92L - Central Atlantic
I hear a lot of pessimism on this board this morning about 92L. Looks like environmental conditions won't be ideal but the system has good model support (GFDL, HWRF, CMC, UKMET) for at least tropical storm intensity development. Odds are it'll still develop but will take a little longer - envionmental conditions get better further west and if it can avoid the islands of the greater antilles, it may still become a powerful storm. Steering is coming into better agreement this morning with a jog north of the LA and generally moving W or W-NW north of PR. Eventually this system will reach the GOM. Models are backing off now on the strength and eastward extent of the midwest trough in 7 days. This system may affect the NW or central Gulf down the road.

Re: ATL: Invest 92L - Central Atlantic
From the overnight shortwave and early visible the LLC is still a bit southeast of that now.I wonder if the LLC is placed under that now

Re: ATL: Invest 92L - Central Atlantic
You guys are a tough crowd, there was very little deep convection last night and now this morning there is a nice ball of convection on the NW side. If 92L maintains this convection I push my TD status to 5pm. May not look great, but still better than last night, IMO.

I suppose putting it another way ronjon is to say some people are not ''optimistic'' of 92L's future life, thats fair enough comment in my book.

Re: ATL: Invest 92L - Central Atlantic
First visible imagery suggest the loosely defined center to be just SE of the deeper convection but moving closer every hour. GFDL with its more NW movement in the short term appears to have a good handle..As the day progresses the circulation will tighten and tonight we may get the first period of deep convection over a well defined center.

FOR THE NORTH ATLANTIC...CARIBBEAN SEA AND THE GULF OF MEXICO...
A BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE ASSOCIATED WITH A TROPICAL WAVE IS
LOCATED OVER THE CENTRAL ATLANTIC OCEAN ABOUT 850 MILES EAST OF
THE WINDWARD ISLANDS. ALTHOUGH ASSOCIATED SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM
ACTIVITY IS CURRENTLY LIMITED...ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS APPEAR
FAVORABLE FOR GRADUAL DEVELOPMENT...AND THIS SYSTEM HAS THE
POTENTIAL TO BECOME A TROPICAL DEPRESSION DURING THE NEXT COUPLE OF
DAYS AS IT MOVES WESTWARD AT 15 TO 20 MPH.
A LARGE AREA OF DISORGANIZED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IS LOCATED
OVER THE EASTERN ATLANTIC A COUPLE HUNDRED MILES SOUTHWEST OF THE
CAPE VERDE ISLANDS. SLOW DEVELOPMENT OF THIS SYSTEM IS POSSIBLE
DURING THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS AS IT MOVES WESTWARD AT ABOUT 15

From this it is not moving a true West more like West NW to me.
