SC coastal low

#1 Postby Weatherboy1 » Thu Aug 26, 2004 8:06 pm

SUBTROPICAL ATLANTIC OCEAN...
WEAK 1017 MB LOW HAS FORMED JUST S OF CHARLESTON ACCORDING TO
SURFACE OBSERVATIONS. EARLIER CONVECTION HAS DIED OUT WITH ONLY
ISOLATED MODERATE WITHIN 90 NM NE OF THE CENTER. UPPER HIGH
NEAR 30N77W IS PROVIDING AT LEAST A CHANCE FOR THE SYSTEM TO
DEVELOP SLOWLY.. THOUGH ITS PROXIMITY TO LAND AND HIGH
DISORGANIZATION WILL LIKELY HINDER THIS PROCESS. ELSEWHERE A
BIT FARTHER E ANOTHER SURFACE LOW...1019 MB... HAS FORMED JUST S
OF BERMUDA. THIS FEATURE HAS MORE UPPER SUPPORT WITH AN UPPER
LOW FORMING ALONG 33N65W...


For obvious reasons we are paying the most attention to Frances. But I just thought I'd point out the 8 p.m. discussion mentions that a surface low has formed off the coast of SC. Also, another one has been identified in the vicinity of Bermuda. Either or both could impact Frances's eventual path if they develop. But right now, neither looks that impressive.

I think neither of those lows will be an impediment for Frances, remember that in any case, Frances now is the master and those little lows are just pupils. Also to notice is the wave with possible rotation east of Frances. Although it's a bit south for cyclogenesis to occur if it moves more WNW the story will be different and we could have Gaston in a few days. The UKMET & CMC support my opinion.

Well, the bad news could be the the ground is saturated prior to a Frances landfall.

The ground here is super saturated. For the coastal plain this is not the norm. Folks don't realize the amount of damage the little wind(80-90mph) we had from Charley did. Cat 3 or better and we have got big problems with a multiplier effect.
