WxWatcher007 Posted September 7 Author Share Posted September 7 Worth watching the SE coast next week as the window for something to form along the persistent troughing remains open. Development could happen as a high builds over the top, pushing it into the coast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxWatcher007 Posted September 8 Author Share Posted September 8 Just now, WxWatcher007 said: Just quickly, my areas of interest: 1. BoC low/Invest 91L—80% Looks most likely to break our NS drought. Like I said before, it’s hard to bet against the BoC topography, though I’m not sure we’d have this area as likely to pop without old 90L and the boundary assisting what was an anemic wave. Western Gulf should watch closely. 2. Invest 92L—50% I won’t lie. I’m still nervous that this next iteration of the MT breakdown will fail to immediately produce, but like Windspeed said the tropical Atlantic portion of the MDR is looking substantially better than it did even a week ago. The apparent organization tonight gives me a little more confidence something is developing here. 3. MT Part II—40% This is the eastern end of the trough that will take more time to organize, if at all. A future AEW coming off Africa may help give the area the kick it needs to develop. Models are waffling on which part of the MT develops first, but it looks like 92L is in the lead. This is the easternmost NHC orange. 4. SE Coast—20% There’s still a signal late next week for a low to develop along a stalled boundary, and this may factor in the eventual track of 92L. What has my interest here is 1) the further south potential for development in a more tropical genesis favored zone, and 2) the possibility of a ridge developing over the top, potentially cutting off a quick exit. Two things 99L didn’t have. Long way away so not worth much attention. I’m not going to declare anything until it happens, but I do wonder if the lid is starting to come off…from west to east. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxWatcher007 Posted September 11 Author Share Posted September 11 This is WxWatcher007 reporting live from Gonzales, LA, just southeast of Baton Rouge. It was a long travel day—much longer than I thought at just under 2,000 miles, as I decided to adjust my staging point well east of Lafayette before my flight early this morning. Here the vibe is quite relaxed, much more than usual. Perhaps it’s the fact that Louisiana has been a magnet for some of the strongest hurricanes in recent memory. In fact, on my way to Gonzalez I passed through Iowa, LA, where I spent hours in the northeast eyewall of the extraordinary beast that was Laura. Francine is now a hurricane, and at the risk of sounding like Josh I’m not terribly enthused. Francine is intensifying, but it is fighting dry air and now shear as it makes the turn NE and heads toward the coast. Tonight is when more significant intensification could occur so I’m watching closely. Dry air and shear could easily blunt that. It’s warm and humid here with some light rain and occasionally gusty winds. I should be able to rest tonight as the action is subject to take place tomorrow. I’m closely watching the track. I think I’m in a good spot, and I chose this location in large part for its highway access to quickly get west or east if necessary. Baton Rouge is 30 minutes west. New Orleans is an hour east. By contrast, Morgan City is 90 minutes south. Obviously it’s closer to the coast so best of luck to the chasers there. I’d rather not have to report from Mississippi tomorrow, but we’ll see. As is usually the case, I’ll post when I can. @MillvilleWx is in contact with me and will let y’all know I’m ok if I lose power/cell service. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxWatcher007 Posted September 11 Author Share Posted September 11 Setting aside Francine, there’s a strong operational model signal for that SE coast area I’ve been highlighting to develop as soon as this weekend. Will need to watch how far north that tracks. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gets its start with some kind of baroclinic assist then goes tropical as the original boundary dissipates. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
