Do you have a loop link of this satellite image PTrackerLA? Thanks!

Go to this site :http://weather.msfc.nasa.gov/GOES/goeseastconus.html

Click animate, select the number of images, select medium zoom, and click on the system and it should bring up the same shot just animated.

i have a question about the current steering patterns that may or may not affect 90L. I just had the Miami radar up and it shows thunderstroms moving into martin and palm beach counties. The motion of these storms was due west. Are the motion of these storms (which i assume are under generally the same steering influences as 90L) indicative of how 90L may move

This could be a significant feature for anyone from Miami to Cape Hatteras

Latest images showing nice comma shape developing. This could go straight to Franklin the way things are going so far today. Only problem is the lack of deep convection over the "center."

Oh, yeah ... there's a closed circulation there alright ...

About 24.9N 74.9W

Can't swear it's at the surface (could still be mid-level) but if it's not there yet I think it will be soon.

I can't see this turning west sharply enough to affect South Florida - just not enough ridging there for that. Everyone from Central Florida through the Carolinas needs to keep an eye on this, though.

I live on the NE Florida coast. Local met said he doesn't think we will have to worry about this. He is only slightly concerned.

just checked the 500mb height obs...

there is no weakness at all and the 500mb flow is out of the ESE. We're looking at a track to the NW probably for about 24-36 hours before the trough over the mid west begins to exert and influence

The SST's off Florida are untapped and receptive to intensification. Whether that will happen or not I don't know, but the system shows curvature - so eventual development is likely...


Our locals said they are watching it without any commitment to track. Unusual for them.

The latest floater loop shows the convection dying down. There are shower and T/S developing east of florida.. If you look at the flow it's from the east. A weaker system will move more west before the ..predicted..curve shown from the models. This will be interesting over the next 24 hours.

The latest visible shot shows a clear circulation. Best shot I've seen so far of it at least.

No doubt this will be classified this afternoon a TD or maybe a TS if recon finds strong TS force winds.
