Masters' blog today states the NHC dropped it as an invest on Sat afternoon - my hopes for rain have diminished :(

"NHC has dropped this invest as of Saturday afternoon, but it remains on their radar. They're giving the wave a 0% chance to form over the next 48 hours. Given the recent uptick in mid-level circulation, I'd imagine they're still a little concerned about the potential for this wave to fire-up again once it's in the Gulf, and it will surely be of concern for Cuba as it tracks westward. However, given the lack of model support for almost 7 days in a row now, I'd say this wave has seen its glory come and go."

I'm not real excited about 90L. Best case scenario for development, imo, will be one of those fast spin up cases that happen in the Western Gulf. The environment only looks marginal through about Thursday with dry air to the west of the system.

Do you think the dry air is that inhibitory... the TPW product from CIMSS shows the Gulf is relatively moist, especially considering the dry air that we saw advected into Bret last week. There are a few patches of 45mm but the vast majority of the Gulf of Mexico is 50+ mm which is plenty moist. Of course we don't really have much of a disturbance right now, but

I can't find any other reason why the models would be so bearish on development. Shear won't be prohibitive. Maybe the weakly subsident phase of the MJO?

Those must be some mighty fine straws you're grasping at :)

The unfavorable MJO phase has pretty much shut down most of the convection in the Atlantic basin. Ex. 90L is pretty much the only marginal threat in town arrowheadsmiley.png

I knew this would happen (the Euro trying to get back our invest) :P . Oh well, I think this thread will have extra innings.

I took some flack this weekend when I mentioned keeping an eye near the Cayman's...:guitar:

Yeah, Adam never liked it ;)...

It has been improving in organization, so I don't think the NHC will remove the lemon, and it might get bumped back to 10-20% by tomorrow. There's some discernable mid level rotation, and the 500-850mb vorticities have been strengthening, though they are still not vertically aligned, but are closer and better defined than before. Shear is low around the wave axis, but it's like tightrope walking with a TUTT from FL to the BOC, and things look marginal once in the GOM.

Hmmm...wasn't there a Saturday discussion by BR about GOM cyclones and their interesting habits at times...:P:scooter:

Haha, like I said, I think this has a chance before landfall... I'm just not excited about it through Wednesday. We'll see, lord knows I've been way wrong before.

Statement as of 8:00 PM EDT on July 25, 2011

For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico...

A tropical wave over the western Caribbean Sea continues to producedisorganized showers and thunderstorms over Cuba...Jamaica...theCayman Islands...and the nearby waters. Atmospheric conditions arenot expected to be conducive for significant development...and thissystem has a low chance...near 0 percent...of becoming a tropicalcyclone during the next 48 hours as it moves west-northwestward at10 to 15 mph.

Elsewhere...tropical cyclone formation is not expected during thenext 48 hours.
