Re: ATL: TWENTY-EIGHT - Tropical Depression - Discussion
Regardless of where the center actually is right now, the massive amount of convection to the South has been and will likely continue providing at least some southward influence on the center

A bunch of big time convection firing off south of the center... If that center relocates down there, it's going to go off...

Shades of Mitch with this southward move. Not sure it will continue but the center shift could delay its move through the Yucatán.

Re: ATL: TWENTY-EIGHT - Tropical Depression - Discussion
Thats a lot of deep convection, center relocation looking more likely

That is close to Honduras, correct?....if the center were to reform down there....what implications would that present I wonder?....

It sure does look like a real possibility, looking at satellite imagery...the 11 pm NHC advisory makes reference to this reformation possibility...

Is a 2nd low trying to form over S.E. Cuba?

If the center is stationary at the 11pm position it’s void of convection b/c that convection blob is to the SSE. Any significant adjustment SE could allow more land time over Yucatan and not gain as much latitude in the EGOM before getting kicked NE towards FL Peninsula.

Thanks....that's exactly what I was wondering....

Re: ATL: TWENTY-EIGHT - Tropical Depression - Discussion
The convection keeps on covering a larger and larger area, if the center truly has moved/reformed to the South I think we may wake up to a strengthening tropical storm

Re: ATL: TWENTY-EIGHT - Tropical Depression - Discussion
28 is not going anywhere near the GOM, until that high moves out of the Gulf to the east over Florida. It is a very big high. Once that occurs, 28 will get moving WNW to NW into the SGOM. It is very evident looking at the WV imagery. Then it will boil down to timing, on when 28 or whatever it becomes, gets slingshotted towards the N then NE, pretty rapidly and is evident by how far it moves in one 24 hour time period from Wednesday afternoon, thru Thursday afternoon. That is some pretty fast movement in the forecast track. But until the high gets out of the way to the north, it is not going to budge. Nothing really different than what the NHC is forecasting.

And so we get to Z. Unlike in 2005, we probably won't end there...

I guess it goes without saying that this is the earliest "Zeta" named storm on record...

Recon finding east winds at 18.5 N, so the low-level center is at least a bit south of the NHC position estimate.

Really looks like the center will relocate south. Watch out folks, I think this one has some big potential down there if it gets fully organized quickly.

Center relocation possible.

Re: ATL: TWENTY-EIGHT - Tropical Depression - Discussion
I think the new center the NHC put for intermediate was a compromise as they had to issue it @2AM before recon arrived. It was pretty obvious to everyone the center was relocating south.
I wouldn’t be surprised with the full advisory with recon data that they issue it’s location even further south.
