Intersting, this is our lull and this sucker won't die. Maybe 93L will be the one to become Harvey after all....

If all the energy expended on 92L posts could have been harnessed, 92L would have been a hurricane!

Glad I stuck with my heart on that one...

93 does look to be gaining more thunderstorm activity. I guess it depends on the shear it encounters.

If this thing develops, it could easily hit 82 knots by the time it hits central carib. Low shear and high-heat water are the only things out there for 5-6 days.

They might have to classify it before the plane gets there tomorrow afternoon

this is almost certain to be strongly sheared in the Carib. That trough is not going anywhere anytime soon.

We could get a TD or a weak TS out of this prior to reaching the islands, but then little change in intensity would likely occur in the Caribbean

We have to wait and see what the environment is like down the road.

i think that the forward speed will be a limiting factor until it reaches 75deg w.........currently 22kts. then serious intensification......................rich

The UL wind forecast this time is fairly obvious. We really don't have to wait for anything to determine that there is going to be some shear in its path.

The trough is not going to be moving anywhere. This has about 36-48 hours left of favorable conditions, and as I said, even a weak TS would not be surprising, but then it is most likely going to struggle

The next UL wind forecast beyond 48 hours that I see that's "obvious" in the tropical Atlantic, will be the first one.

It's the main reason intensity can't be predicted.

FWIW, the shear forecasts from the 12Z models that are out so far have 93Ls little anticyclone moving along with it into the Caribbean. Of course, models routinely get rid of shear or move ULLs west far faster than reality.

But in no way, shape, or form would I call the upper level wind forecast "obvious."

Argh. These Gulf storms are getting pretty annoying. This thing will probably be a near-exact clone of Emily, as far as track goes.

(note that this draws on your comments in an earlier non-official Invest 93 thread as well)

I agree that the central Caribbean is currently inhospitable, but isn't the eastern Caribbean (east of 70°) reasonably favorable at the moment?

Do you disagree with that asessment or otherwise have clarifying comments?

SHIPS going 82 knots is a reach since it assumes something that happened yet. That said, I think that if something were to spin up in the next 24 hours or so, it would have a reasonable chance of getting towards 65 knots (its rapid forward progress is its enemy... doesn't get that much time in the favorable enviroment).

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A mildly ot and definitely lazy question for anyone who happens to know: SHIPS uses the LBAR model for track input. Correct or not?

TROPICAL WAVE ALONG 52W/53W SOUTH OF 18N MOVING WEST 20 KT.
CONVECTION ASSOCIATED WITH THIS WAVE IS QUITE ACTIVE...WITH
HIGH RESOLUTION VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES A WEAK LOW
LEVEL CIRCULATION NEAR 11N52W. SCATTERED MODERATE/ISOLATED
STRONG CONVECTION EXTENDS FROM 10N-14N ALONG AND W OF THE WAVE
AXIS TO 57W. SURFACE OBSERVATIONS SHOW THAT THE WAVE IS AT THE
LEADING EDGE OF A WIND SURGE...WITH WINDS OF 20-25 KT BEHIND THE
WAVE AND 10-15 KT WINDS AHEAD OF THE WAVE NEAR AND OVER THE
LESSER ANTILLES. HOWEVER...LITTLE IN THE WAY OF ORGANIZATION IS
NOTED. CONDITIONS MAY BECOME SOMEWHAT FAVORABLE FOR DEVELOPMENT
DURING THE NEXT 24 HOURS AS THE WAVE MOVES AROUND THE SOUTHERN
PERIPHERY OF THE MID/UPPER LEVEL HIGH NEAR 16N52W. ON ITS
CURRENT MOTION...SHOWERS AND TSTMS WILL BEGIN TO AFFECT THE
WINDWARD ISLANDS LATE TONIGHT OR EARLY SUN WITH GUSTY WINDS AND
LOCALLY HEAVY RAINS.




The above is from TPC discussion at 2:05 PM.
