Re: ATL: INVEST 94L - Discussion

Based on Levi's video and assorted model runs, this is what the future of 94L could be like:
Image
First it consolidates in the BoC tomorrow, then reaches peak intensity on Monday (or early Tuesday at the latest) while shear remains low and it's in a decent UL environment, before weakening on Tuesday as it runs into strong UL flow from the west and decouples. Levi mentioned that a stronger vortex would get tugged to the east by that flow, similar to what the GFS was showing on its 12z run.

If 94L consolidates quickly tomorrow and isn't far enough west that it quickly runs into Mexico, I can see a peak intensity in the 55-70 kt range.

Doesn't look like the bar for this one is very high, no more than a 50-60 knot TS IMHO. A lot of rain though!

it is Sept. and it's in the Gulf....enough said IMO. i wouldn't sleep on it or just assume it won't amount to much.

I concur. The path, lack of shear, and ability to intensify could easily make this a high Cat 2 or low Cat 3 based on history and climatology.

But there is shear waiting for it. And land interaction will be a factor too.

I'm sorry, but there is nothing at all to suggest that this is a possibility. Too many negative variables in its way.

Dry air will also become a factor making the system more east weighted.

Convection to the east, and intense convection at that could pull the vorticity to the east. If it goes far enough east, it could escape some of the shear. Still probably a low grade cat 1 or high end Ts even if that occurred. I’m more worried about a repeat of Imelda or Allison type scenario.

I haven't heard any pro mets talk about dry air being much of a factor so I'm not sure how much of an effect the dry air will have on it. Seems like wind shear will be the main thing holding this down.

Near 30kt ship report. Maybe straight to TS if a center can be found.

No west winds, maybe the dmax towers will close it off

Think ASCAT could be missing a small circulation.

94l is showing convection but still looks unorganised.

Looking better and better, wouldn't be surprised if it's classified very soon.

I'd say its looking worse as far as track goes but convection doesn't locate the LLC unless it persists.
Recon is probably going to find a broad shallow trough shaped area of low pressure.

This will likely be PTC14 at 11am. I don’t think it’s closed just yet, but it should be soon, and land impacts could begin as early as tomorrow.

I think they will close it off. Convection will have been hard at work for 10 hrs since the ascat. Pressures are starting to fall at 42055
