I have to apologize to everyone for lowering the discussion. I guess I'm just feeling a little frustrated that it's 23 Sep and we're stuck talking about crap like this.

I'm sorry. :)

Meh your right though pretty much anything thats fishes unless its a Cat 3-5 with a spectacular sat presentation is a waste of time to track for most of us, I mean after awhile you just get numb to the lameness of the storms this year personally I am pretty much over it at this point, although I would love for a homegrown out of the GOM or Bahamas to spice things up.

Bingo. I just feel numb.

And then you look at the crazy hawtness on the EPAC side, and it's like, WTF??

There is a yellow circle in the Bahamas. Any Hope? Probably will go northeast and be another fish :(

Just looking at the system currently, it has about 24-48 hours of favorable conditions. It already looks pretty well organized at this point, and its developing a nice curved coiled shape. I think we should see at least steady development over the next 1-2 days into a strong tropical storm, or even minimal hurricane before the shear starts to cause a major impact on its environment.

At this rate, we will probably see at least a TD by 5am.

Yes, looks very good, almost better than Ophelia! I agree that we should see a depression at 5am but definitely should be by 11 am.

Its not like it will be either a land thread or a spectacular satellite treat. And running your own personal tropical weather site is hard work.

Well, actually it doesn't look bad on satellite.

But 91L has the benefit of closeness.

Not too hard, you just have to have a few minutes each day to update it. Why do you say running a site is hard work? Also can someone rename this to TD 17 or something?

A CONVECTIVE BAND WRAPPING AT LEAST HALFWAY AROUND THE WEST SIDE OF

THE CYCLONE HAS DEVELOPED SINCE THE LAST ADVISORY. AS RESULT...THE

INITIAL INTENSITY IS INCREASED TO 35 KT...WHICH IS CONSISTENT WITH

THE 18Z TAFB DVORAK SATELLITE INTENSITY ESTIMATE OF T2.5/35 KT.

UPPER-LEVEL OUTFLOW IS GOOD TO FAIR IN ALL QUADRANTS AND HAS BEEN

SLOWLY IMPROVING.

THE INITIAL MOTION ESTIMATE IS 285/12. THERE IS NO SIGNIFICANT

CHANGE TO THE PREVIOUS TRACK REASONING. PHILIPPE IS EXPECTED TO

MOVE WEST-NORTHWESTWARD AROUND THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF A STRONG

SUBTROPICAL RIDGE LOCATED TO THE NORTH OF THE CYCLONE. BY 48-72

HOURS...A BREAK IN THE RIDGE IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP BETWEEN 40-45W

LONGITUDE AS A LARGE MID- TO UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH DIGS SOUTHEASTWARD

OVER THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN ATLANTIC. THIS SHOULD RESULT IN

PHILIPPE SLOWING DOWN AND GRADUALLY TURNING TOWARD THE NORTHWEST...

AND THEN TOWARD THE NORTH. THE OFFICIAL FORECAST WAS NUDGED

SLIGHTLY TO THE LEFT OF THE PREVIOUS TRACK DUE TO THE MORE WESTWARD

INITIAL POSITION...AND IS SIMILAR TO THE CONSENSUS MODEL TVCN.

THE BEST OPPORTUNITY FOR PHILIPPE TO STRENGTHEN IS EXPECTED TO BE

DURING THE NEXT 48 HOURS OR SO WHEN THE SHEAR IS THE LOWEST AND THE

THERMODYNAMICS ARE THE GREATEST. BY 72 HOURS...SOUTHWESTERLY

VERTICAL SHEAR IS FORECAST TO INCREASE TO ABOUT 15 KT...WHICH MAY

NOT BE ENOUGH TO SIGNIFICANTLY INHIBIT THE INTENSIFICATION PROCESS.

AS A RESULT...PHILIPPE IS EXPECTED TO REACH HURRICANE STATUS IN

48-72 HOURS...AND THEN LEVEL OFF SIMILAR TO THAT FORECAST BY THE

SHIPS AND LGEM STATISTICAL-DYNAMICAL MODELS. HOWEVER...IT IS WORTH

NOTING THAT THE GFDL AND EXPERIMENTAL HFIP INTENSITY MODELS MAKE

PHILIPPE A CATEGORY TWO HURRICANE BY DAYS 4 AND 5.

FORECAST POSITIONS AND MAX WINDS

INIT 24/2100Z 11.2N 27.9W 35 KT 40 MPH

12H 25/0600Z 11.6N 29.6W 40 KT 45 MPH

24H 25/1800Z 12.5N 31.7W 45 KT 50 MPH

36H 26/0600Z 13.6N 33.3W 55 KT 65 MPH

48H 26/1800Z 14.8N 34.9W 65 KT 75 MPH

72H 27/1800Z 16.8N 36.8W 65 KT 75 MPH

96H 28/1800Z 19.5N 38.5W 65 KT 75 MPH

120H 29/1800Z 22.0N 39.0W 65 KT 75 MPH
