TD#9

[gkrangers]

On my workstation, I measured a 6-hour motion of 299 deg. at 19.5 kts. (0945Z-1545Z).

Movement over the last 2 hous (1345Z-1545Z) was 290 deg at 20 kts.

Haulin' butt!

I know you got alot to do but do you have a directional chart for me, in regards to what all those 300deg, 295deg, 290deg, etc stuff means? By the way, what direction is 290 anyways?

<RICKY>

WNW.

360/000 is due north.

090 is due east.

270 is due west.

180 is due south.

Make sense?

Alright got it. Thanks

Well 292.5 is due wnw. every 22.5 degrees is an angle, 0 North 22.5 NNE, 45 NE, 77.5 ENE, 90 E, 112.5 ESE, 135 SE, 157.5 SSE 180 S. And etc

290' is 20'N of 270' which 270' is due W.That would be WNW in movement.

Uhhh the weakness in the ridge is closing up quick.

Check analyses from 3 hrs ago to now .

Hmmm, this is an interesting system no matter the outcome

[storms in NC]

Just looked at the satellites and it is moving wnw to me

[WeatherEmperor]

Question is, how long will it stay on this WNW track?

I dunno it will take somebody smarter than I am to figure that out ( which won't be hard to find)

But from this: http://cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/tropic/real-time/wavetrak/winds/wavetrkA.html it looks like it easy to see why the convection was blown off. Still looks like it wants to go north at some point to me

oooh good point..the weakness is really closing now...there is not much of a weakness now

[deltadog03]

i would see NO north movement...by those winds...

[BensonTCwatcher]

I may be too quick here, but this looks like a "jog" caused by that ULL which was moving alsmost due S but now looks more SE filling in the ridge and allowing 9 to hook around the bottom of the ridge now.

thanks

thanks luis

My thoughts are still pretty much the same as indicated in my tropical outlook http://www.storm2k.org/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=69836

IMO the system still has some obstacles to overcome if it survives. If it does in fact reorganize to the SW I think the window for any near-term turn will close very quickly, and the Islands will need to be prepared.

TD#9 is looking some what better as it is moving west. I don't know if it will last or not on the west movement Time will tell

[storm4u]

its starting to move into warmer waters now so we will see what happens!

[Derek Ortt]

still has to get out of the SAL. Hasn't been the waters that have caused the problem, has been the dry air, which has prevented instability from occurring

[deltadog03]

i agree derek...the West movement, if continued, would allow it to get stronger
