Here's something for ya'll... http://www.nlmoc.navy.mil/trg/tropical/ ... cklist.htm
This is the checklist that the US Navy uses before issuing a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert on a system. It can help when "estimating" if a system will be upgraded soon or not.

Well, I think Hyperstorm has a point about 96L having a bleak future.
Look at these shear maps: http://cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/tropic/real-time/atlantic/winds/wg8shr.html
ULL's and troughs are covering the area, and there is extensive shear in the GOM, Caribbean, and much of the Atlantic. The only area with little shear is the area just ESE of the Lesser Antilles, where 96L is heading too, but after that it has a lot of shear to contend with.
And, the area south of the CV Islands has about 30-40 kt shear. Not condusive for CV development.

Well, the JTWC or any other military meteorological branch is not here for the public's use. TCFAs are not for the public nor are their advisories. That is why the "Tropical disturbance is within 72 hours of a DOD resource" line is there.

if
this is not an official forcast
if we get a blow up of deep persis. convection and the QS show a closed circulation tomorrow by 5 pm we should have at least a TD.

10:30 TWO(finally):
SATELLITE DATA INDICATE THE WELL-DEFINED LOW PRESSURE AREA CENTERED
ABOUT 1100 MILES EAST OF THE WINDWARD ISLANDS HAS CHANGED LITTLE
THIS EVENING. HOWEVER...CONDITIONS STILL APPEAR FAVORABLE FOR A
TROPICAL DEPRESSION TO DEVELOP DURING THE NEXT DAY OR SO AS THE
SYSTEM MOVES WEST-NORTHWESTWARD AT ABOUT 10 MPH.

The Gfdl loves this storm. Unlike Irene it kept wenting to kill it. In which was half way right to do so. Plus theres a wet MJO over it. So Development is looking very good.

My option is that it becomes a TD within 24 hours. And we will have Jose to track soon. Not gonna discuss it longterm cuz I haven't looked at a damn thing yet.Matt-hurricanewatcher wrote:Whats you guys options about this?
I think if it can form convection near its core then its a go. If not it will weaken.
