ATL: Ex-Tropical Storm GASTON - Discussion

[Evil Jeremy]

It's why i say it goes fishing for the moment to the NW to 300°

Once the ridge strengthens, there will be no NW movement for a while. This is no fish.

Wow, when you see that you realize how nicely this is coming back together. Expanding in size quickly, as well.

[AtlanticWind]

Yes , looking much better. heads up for the islands and PR.

Is that a big ULL in front of him, over PR & the northern Islands? Wonder if he will pass above it; it looks to be diving S-SW at the moment.

models advect it westward and build a ridge overtop of gaston.

Nice blowup of storms, lets see if it can maintain it.

[SootyTern]

'it' being the ULL. What is the position of an ULL in relation to a TC that helps ventilate it rather than destroy it?

Continues to become much better organized by the hour....Very symetrical...This one stands a very good chance to eventually have that textbook classic cape verde look..It's also picking up some speed. A sign ridging to the north is building in. Should be due west by morning, then w/sw on sunday..I really hope those in the islands and PR are paying very close attention.

will be interesting to see if the nhc pulls trigger and declares gaston a depression at 11pm or even 5 am.

[OURAGAN]

I think it is beginning to make its west course.

Guess this means Hurricane Season has started?

00Z Nam...notice the synoptics...If you want to see a near perfect environment run this loop. Notice the strong ridge builds west with the cyclone. At the same time the TUTT moves w/wsw ventilating the system. With a pattern like this and very warm SST's there is no reason to believe this wont be a monster of a storm.

If a strong ridge is building west, would that mean a more west movement and less likely of a chance of taking a sudden north turn like the GFS has been showing as it enters the Caribbean?

So, we have a heartbeat? lol Gaston is back! (not officially)

That could be mouse ears, maybe heading for Disney World.

[MGC]

Gaston is dat you? I was thinking MM ears also......MGC

The question is whether or not there is an LLC under there...

Wasn't the LLC clearly visible before the convection built back in?
