Cutoff ULL in Bahamas
the ULL seems to be cutting off from the parent trough, could this possibly develop

Could it develop? Well, it is not unusual for ULL to transition down to the surface. However, it could take days for that to happen and upper level conditions have to become more conducive for development. We have seen tropical cyclones form from trough splits occasionally just in the past couple of seasons however.
Something to watch for sure. I thought the Miami NWS mets in their AFD were good with their assessment concerning the aforementioned ULL feature.

NEVER, EVER SAY NEVER in the tropics and weather in general, and most importantly, with life itself!!

Convection has flared up overnight but the main problem I see is the lack of lower-level convergence because of brisk easterly trade winds in the area. Model support is not there also. So I am not thinking we will see development out of this as it moves westward towards Florida and eventually the Gulf.

Re: Cutoff ULL in central atlantic
Interesting excerpt from the Miami AFD:
A MID LEVEL LOW IS STILL EXPECTED TO PUSH ACROSS SOUTH FLORIDA FROM
THE BAHAMAS DURING THE FIRST PART OF NEXT WEEK. MODELS DIFFER A BIT
WITH REGARD TO TIMING. THE GFS BRINGS THE LOW ACROSS SOUTH FLORIDA A
GOOD 24 HOURS SOONER THAN THE ECMWF AND IS MORE ROBUST WITH ITS
DEPICTION. MODEL SOUNDINGS STILL SHOW 500 MB TEMPERATURES RANGING
FROM -10C TO -12C ACROSS THE AREA.

Re: Cutoff ULL in central atlantic
This morning's discussion about this by Dr Jeff Masters:
A large upper-level cold-cored low pressure system a few hundred miles northeast of Puerto Rico will move west over the next dew days, arriving in the Bahamas by Sunday and South Florida by Tuesday. Although the models do not show that this low will will acquire a surface circulation and develop tropical characteristics, it will be worth watching for development.

Re: Cutoff ULL in central atlantic
Is this the ull that gfs showed last week passing through the keys and eventually making landfall near houston close to hurricane force? If it is, is it possible the gfs may have had this one right and is there still the possibility of development in the gulf. If I remeber right it was showing a depression through keys then strengthening in the gulf

I think the latest GFS, NAVGEM, and CMC show this mid-level system crossing Florida, then turning sharply to the N or NNW, and "landfalling" again over the Florida Panhandle/Big Bend area.

Re: Cutoff ULL in central atlantic
This actually looks real interesting and should be 10% lemoned IMO

been keeping an eye on it. nothing at the surface but the mid level vorticity is increasing and a little more vorticity at 850mb lvl. if the convection can persist it maybe able to work down to the surface. Also what might help is the piece of the tropical wave to the se is catching up to it and may help get it going.

that is the current one. the previous one has less and pretty good increase over the last 3 to 6 hr

Re: Cutoff ULL in central atlantic
This is digging down or is down to the 850 level, but there is no surface vorticity of any kind but should be watched just in case it should dig down to the surface, wouldnt even rule out a short lived tropical depression as it crosses Florida or in the Gulf similar to Bonnie in 2011

They could but I'm not expecting it unless it gets some sort of vorticity at he surface but I also wouldnt be surprised if they lemoned it with a 10% either
