ATL: INVEST 98L - Discussion
I think a good analogy for this storm could be 1999's Hurricane Floyd. It could get close enough to give us a few nervous moments here in South Florida but I find it highly unlikely that it makes it all the way to our shore. A recurve through the Bahama's with a swipe or landfall on the Outer Banks is what I'd be betting on right now. Not saying it can't or won't come to Florida, just that it is really hard to go against climatology in late September/early October. It is very difficult to get a hit from the east this far into the season. Now if this were to somehow make it into the Caribbean, I would definitely be more concerned. We have recent history with a few October storms out of the Caribbean (Wilma and Matthew, I'm looking at you).

98L(Future Sam?) would be WISE to peacefully/mercifully head north OTS and visit Frodo beyond the Grey Havens.

Who knows lol.
I think it’s highly likely now this will develop next 1-2 days.

Re: ATL: INVEST 98L - Discussion
Convection continues to blow up. The HWRF shows convection exploding over the next day or so. We'll have to see if convection continues to fire. The potential for a strong hurricane is there with this one.

At this point, I think it's too little too late for a storm like Sam to get here. But honestly, who knows? We cannot control that stuff. When we eventually get a strike from the E or SE, we will be the first to know. It'll happen whenever it happens.

Re: ATL: INVEST 98L - Discussion
I think what the models are seeing is a trough split where part dives to the south the other goes out and there is high pressure squeezed between the two. This is a pretty good pattern setup for trough splits

Hmm not sure if its just me but isnt 98L a bit north of most models at this moment? Looks to be just north of 10N, I know the 18z position was 9.5N 28.5W

Re: ATL: INVEST 98L - Discussion
Showers and thunderstorms associated with a tropical wave located
several hundred miles southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands have
increased since this morning and are beginning to show signs of
organization. Recent satellite wind data also indicate that a broad
area of low pressure has formed, but the system lacks a well-defined
center. Environmental conditions are expected to remain conducive
for additional development, and a tropical depression is likely to
form within the next day or two while the system moves westward at
10 to 15 mph across the eastern and central tropical Atlantic Ocean.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...80 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...90 percent.
