Gulf Of Mexico SAT...

#1 Postby deltadog03 » Sat Jul 16, 2005 1:31 pm

ok for all of you smart ladies and gents...and others.. :lol: take a look at the loop of the VIS in the gulf...yesterday, the clouds along the entire gulf except for the xtreme west..(TX coast), were moving from east to west...today they look diffrent...this will be important once she crosses the YUC.. right??

Yeah I believe so too. Anything moving west to east could cause sheer for Emily or cause her to shift more South of more North. Something we need to watch closely.

I'll be an "other" :lol:

Watch the WV loop also, you'll get a better idea of what's going on:

http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/PS/TROP/DATA/RT ... -loop.html

There's a ULL parked over South Central Texas, and another moving from east to west near Tampa Bay. There also appears to be a third ULL
over the Yucatan right now, moving West as well. What a mess!

What these ULL's do will play a large role in Emily's future. Lower level
clouds are still moving east to weat, thanks to the ridge. In the upper levels, things get interesting. To answer your question, YES - this will be very important for all of Emily's future.

The key IMO is after the Yucatan... and how far north she is and which way she is moving.

I saw that as well. Could foretell a slight hook north.


Right now it looks possible that Emily will traverse less land than previously thought.

The ULL over Florida could be a seam in the ridge...

You may be onto something here Sanibel - the Florida ULL has added
a little southward component to its weatward movement.

Now it's a race, if the ULL gets "there" first, then that may indeed create
a seam for Emily to gain latitude.

Em is moving right on NHC path, the ridge is holding in place just fine.

Dont expect much deviation in NHC track, there hasnt been one and there wont be one. They have had no problems with her course. Trust the NHC, look at the cone, if your in it, make preps, if your just out - be prepared to make preps, if youre in galveston - get your board out its going to be nice surf on tues.

Does this mean that this area needs to be more concerned now, I was banking on this going to mexico, but, if I am thinking right, It may go more towards corpus?

Too early to say - we have ot let this play out for some time before
we see if the ULL actually has an affect on Emily.

NEVER bank on anything with tropical cyclones....very good points all...yes, the NHC has been doing a pretty good job....BUT, there are many uncertanties ahead...just look at the 5am, and 11am discussions...

Call me crazy but the NW/N cloud pattern in the Gulf now extends to the Central Gulf. :eek:

Is the weakness becoming more pronounced?
