Thread at Talking tropics forum that discussed about the North of Panama area.

Well well, here we go, right now looks to head into central america

[Macrocane]

20% chance of development on the next 48 hours sounds about right as the models begin to develop the area in about 3 or 4 days.

[FireRat]

Whoa and I was just mentioning it was too early to tell. Well still kinda early

We shall see what the invest wants to do in the next few days. How fast it spins up will determine its path. Central America doesn't always mean death for the storms, some skirt it.

[wzrgirl1]

Any model runs for this yet?

[GCANE]

Looks like it could be a slow top-down development.

Mostly stratiform precip firing during the day.

500mb PV at 11N 81W.

Sunrise at DMAX could fire off some shear induced MCS's and get the anti-cyclone to move south.

[Sanibel]

Something is playing with our minds this year. Another one with a big circulation perched to slide right into climatology as a monster storm that just misses. I see it as drifting west towards EPAC, but let's see what happens.

It may very well do that, but it is still way too early to give up all hope that it won't do that. Of course, it could even end up not even forming into a TC as per the Euro.

[WeatherGuesser]

No changes at 2AM, still 20%

[WeatherGuesser]

8AM, no change, still 20%

Sat image looks pretty ragged too.

More time over water with this new position.

[wxman57]

See the models thread.

[Sanibel]

Today's visible loop has that ever-drifting-west look, however the convection has consolidated better in the Gulf of Panama just north of Panama and tucked-in to Central America.

So, of course, we'll all be watching for it to take a track N, possibly through Central America.


I have a pet theory that when you get a cold front that compresses the tropical air into the southern Caribbean at this time of year it forces development by piling all the tropical "juice".

[gatorcane]

Looks like the global models build in a ridge across the nw Caribbean by day 7. Until then, a weakness will be present. So if this system organizes more quickly then expected, should drift northward or northwestward over the next several days and not move inland into central America. I believe the hwrf is showing this solution, then ridging pushes it back southward.

[KWT]

Yeah either way Gatorcane I think this will eventually pile itself into CA, its just how long that process takes...

[dixiebreeze]

IR floater now on 99L

[cycloneye]

If needed, a mission is planned for next Tuesday afternoon.

WEATHER RECONNAISSANCE FLIGHTS
CARCAH, NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER, MIAMI, FL.
0930 AM EDT SUN 17 OCTOBER 2010
SUBJECT: TROPICAL CYCLONE PLAN OF THE DAY (TCPOD)
VALID 18/1100Z TO 19/1100Z OCTOBER 2010
TCPOD NUMBER.....10-138

I. ATLANTIC REQUIREMENTS
1. NEGATIVE RECONNAISSANCE REQUIREMENTS.
2. SUCCEEDING DAY OUTLOOK: PSBL LOW LEVEL INVEST
TUESDAY AFTERNOON NEAR 13.5N AND 82.5W.

[KWT]

Given where it is now recon may be needed since I suspect a small weak system may try and get going down there, maybe like Martha from 1969 but not quite so strong...but who knows...

See the models thread.

Thanks I posted this right before the models thread came out.

[cycloneye]

2 PM TWO. No change.

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS REMAIN DISORGANIZED NEAR A BROAD AND
ELONGATED AREA OF LOW PRESSURE LOCATED OVER THE SOUTHWESTERN
CARIBBEAN SEA. ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS COULD BECOME A LITTLE MORE
CONDUCIVE FOR SOME DEVELOPMENT OF THIS SYSTEM BEFORE IT BEGINS TO
INTERACT WITH LAND IN A COUPLE OF DAYS. THERE IS A LOW CHANCE...20
PERCENT...OF THIS SYSTEM BECOMING A TROPICAL CYCLONE DURING THE
NEXT 48 HOURS AS IT MOVES WESTWARD AT 5 TO 10 MPH.
