looks like a td now

#1 Postby Derek Ortt » Tue Aug 24, 2004 5:47 pm

our CV wave looks as if it is a depression based upon the latest sat images. The images show that the LLC is becoming tighter now with new convection firing closer to the center. This has all the looks of a TD

I agree..convection has died away from the center and is now concentrating around the obvious LLC..

I agree Derek and with a CDO forming over the apparent LLC it could develop rather rapidly overnight. I noted the 18Z Tropical and some Globals are bring 96L alot further west with some now trending alot more westward. If our ridge to the north doesn't begin to back down with this development it could be a threat to the NE Carib. Islands or scare the heck out of them.

Doubt if it will make it all the way across. It will probably be a fish.

I really hope it stays as a fish, we don't need another striking system. Charley has already done a great job in destruction, unfortunately.

The track is still uncertain so it is just as well the NHC doesn't call it yet. Still plenty of time to get warnings up for the islands.

Looks like a TD to me as well. IF it affects the islands, it's about 4 days away, so there's plenty of time to watch it.

Guys, guys, guys...Frances has not a snow balls chance of threatening the Islands. Not ready to say it will totally be a fish...but the Islands are not a likely target. She will turn NW in a couple of days. After that all bets are off...

Sure does look like a TD. However, just because its satellite presentation looks great it might just be a MLC. I have see the NHC upgrade much horrible looking systems in years past. I'd like to say this is a can't miss but I won't..............MGC

The ridge out ahead of TD6 has built west all the way to Barbados. The ULL currently in the Caribbean may roll west ahead of the storm and not provide much steering. If the ULL starts retreating west there will be no recurve east of the leeward/windwards.

Hello all. I agree that the wave looks like it has a well defined surface circulation on the 0000Z Color Enhanced IR Imagery. It has nice convective banding features around the center, and a nice over all circular structure. I think it is now a TD, and will be upgraded to such at 11 pm EDT.

this may be being carried internally as a TD as forecasts are being made by NHC on this system as of 18Z
