Brownsville's chances of getting 34kts+ winds have increased though over time, now nearly at 40%...

KWT- do you have the chart for the 06 GFS ensembles runs? cant seem to find it....

Re:
Yep, the probabilities have really gone up from Brownsville south to Tampico....that corridor seems to be in the potential bulls eye of Alex's 2nd landfall. If we start to see the wind probabilities increase north of Brownsville significantly, that would be indicative of a northern shift in the forecast. Hasn't happened yet.

Re: ATL: TROPICAL DEPRESSION ALEX - DISCUSSION
Note on those progs they account for the passage of time; as the system gets closer they will go up, but not necessarily indicate a change in track.

Re: ATL: TROPICAL DEPRESSION ALEX - DISCUSSION
True, but as landfall becomes more certain, the probabilities in the forecast strike area will increase at a much faster rate than the areas on the fringe....look at what has happened to the %s in Tampico, Veracruz, and Brownsville over the last 3 advisories vs. what has happened in Port Arthur, Galveston, and Houston.
Key is to look not only at the trend between advisories, but what areas have the highest overall probability within each advisory. The Brownsville-Tampico-Veracruz corridor with the highest probabilities overall has been consistent, even as overall probabilities increase as landfall draws closer.

Two deaths have been confirmed in El Salvador because of the rains from Alex, both of them were due to drowning.

Re: ATL: TROPICAL DEPRESSION ALEX - DISCUSSION
In the last visible loop I looked at it sure looked like Alex was even "possibly" moving a tad bit south of due west. IMO

Re: ATL: TROPICAL DEPRESSION ALEX - DISCUSSION
Is anyone else thinking the suface COC may be a little North of the higher clouds (CDO) that we are seeing right now in the loops?

Nah but it is certainly not picking up much latitude still thats true, but I'm betting once it beefs up again over water it'll soon pick up latitude again...I'm pretty sure about that.

Re: ATL: TROPICAL DEPRESSION ALEX - DISCUSSION
If anything, NHC Discussion mentions a short-term motion that is more to the west than wnw...
While the short-term motion of Alex appears almost due west...a
longer-term initial motion estimate is toward the west-northwest...
295 degrees at 10 knots....a little to the left of the previous
forecast track.

Re: ATL: TROPICAL DEPRESSION ALEX - DISCUSSION
Looks like Alex has nearly made it across the Yucatan in good shape. I would not be surprised for the cyclone to regain tropical storm intensity shortly after it emerges into the BOC as its sat presentation looks good. I'm still a bit surprised by the lack of a more northward component. The models must be under estimating the strength of the ridge in the gulf. I think Alex will become a cat 2 hurricane prior to landfall......MGC

Re: ATL: TROPICAL DEPRESSION ALEX - DISCUSSION
A mass of convection is developing well north of the system south of La. The GFS model basically was first to show a piece of vorticity breaking off the main circulation to the north. I think I see this now near 25N-90W. If this continues and grows stronger, it will be a key player in the breakdown of the ridge.

Re: ATL: TROPICAL DEPRESSION ALEX - DISCUSSION
Thinking it is becoming unstacked (decoupling), which would mean slower redevelopment if I'm correct but I'm just a gawker here. I"ll wait for some of the Mets and more experienced guys to chime in.

Being in south LA, I was noticing those showers, too!! This won't be good for the oil spill cleanup operations...
Thad Allen said he needed a 5-day advance window to move clean-up crews out of harms way....They may be moving in rainy, squally weather.
If Alex moves farther north and makes its second landfill mid-way up TX coast or even farther north, but officially misses LA, it's gonna be bad for LA/MS as its southerly winds will move oil inland.
Heaven help the Gulf coast from MX to FL!

Possible, the system is slowing down though from the looks of things, need to get offshore soon otherwise the weaker steering currents could mean trouble...
Ivanhater, if anything I think the ridge may have slightly strengthened a touch comparing the images there, but then again there is enough of a weakness to lift out this system.

Big loop form today.

Looking really good, the core should be reaching the coast soon.

Re: ATL: TROPICAL DEPRESSION ALEX - DISCUSSION
COC is definitely opening up - not as tight as before. Overall organization has weakened considerably and it seems to have slowed down a touch.

Yep the system does look like its opening up, may well take a little longer then we expected only 6hrs ago to strengthen again, but it is getting close to the coast now and the slowdown maybe due to a NW jog, we shall see though.
