Amped Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 ugh, how can this thing not develop a llc. looks gorgeous. Todays convective blowup dissapeted. I agree, the outflow and symmetry are impressive for an open wave. It would almost look worse if convection tried to fire near the LLC and away from the main blob.

hurricaneman Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 The intensity models are all rubbish since this doesnt have anything close to a closed low, I'm on board with the globals with this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derecho! Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 It would almost look worse if convection tried to fire near the LLC and away from the main blob. Which it actually seems to be doing at the moment, now that you mention it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxmx Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Which it actually seems to be doing at the moment, now that you mention it. I think the trough axis is further west, around or just west of 70W. The convection fired up on top of the mid level low, and the upper flow skeleton that's dying is back east, with the TUTT doing the traffic cop job. Latest ASCAT and vorticity analysis seem to confirm this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like I'm on bread and water rations and we just ran out of bread. Of well, I have to travel for a week anyway, so this gives me a chance to relax.

phil882 Posted August 1, 2013 Author Share Posted August 1, 2013 Long range radar out of Miami shows some rotation associated with the activity in the Bahamas. ECMWF is on board with a weak closed cyclone in the 25-35 knot range. The problem is the low and mid-level vortexes never quite get coupled before northerly shear increases over the system by 48 hours. A weak TC in the 30-40 knot range is certainly on the table though.

Ed Lizard Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Long range radar out of Miami shows some rotation associated with the activity in the Bahamas. One can see rotation in the IR satellite. Almost certainly midlevel, as NHC mentioned lowering pressures but lack of a closed circulation. I could look at Bahama obs, but I don't really know the geography and my lunch break is over.

Yea it actually does have a weak closed circulation so its not just a mid-level feature. However, its fairly broad and diffuse and doesn't really qualify as a TC unless it has a tightly wound surface vortex that contains some definition. The problem is even the trigger happy higher resolution guidance (HRRR, NMM/ARW WRF) doesn't really show this changing over the next couple of days.

I distrust the SI as much as anybody else, but bars/Pascals and 2 liter Coke bottles are here to stay. And, double wind speed in m/s, within a couple of % of wind speed in knots. 15 m/s darn close to 30 knots.

Ed Lizard Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 For future reference, Climatology and Persistence beat the BAM models...

IsentropicLift Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Might need to bring up those percentages a bit It appears the MLC has strengthened and the LLC is developing rather quickly. ScreenHunter_53 Aug. 02 15.33.png tropical_ge_4km_visir2_floater_2.gif It most certainly looks like at least a depression to me atm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superstorm93 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Long range radar out of TPBI getting interesting. There's definitely some kind of spin close to the deep convection. Might get a quick shot at a depression before the front destroys it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxtrackercody Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 A buoy near Freeport, Grand Bahama is reporting westerly winds at 24kt, while farther east on the island, southwesterly winds are being reported. Vero Beach on the eastern coast of Florida is reporting northeasterly winds. Will the NHC pull the trigger? The system is firing deep and organized convection.

Ed Lizard Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 I think shear will get very hostile very quickly, and I wouldn't be surprised if we see a naked swirl before it gets absorbed by the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
