I thought Cindy was on July 6?

I might be wrong, though.

Night of 5-6 July see post #3269

I would honestly be more concerned with this system if the dry air wasn't in such close proximity. However, I must say convection is holding its own at this point. I still don't think it will develop into much but it's something in the backyard to watch until the DMAX is over.

Oh, I see. My bad.

Anyway, I'm going to bed now. 'Twas a great July 4th for me, but was also very tiring.

Good night Pat, and others. See you guys tomorrow.

Interesting to note the Banding becoming evident the last frames.

G'night..

Then you're ahead of me, cuz I'm still learning.
I'll still enjoy your postings (when you aren't gettin' riled by the same ol' same ol')...
...so THANKS for all your good work, I really do appreciate it.

Whose staying up for the TWO

Early Good Morning. Winds have die down a bit in my parts so gonna try to land shark a few trout or reds at sunrise....That is a persistent little pulse south of LA but NHC is not giving it a chance (lots of sheer) and our SW Caribbean friend is trying to get a groove one. Our buds off the Bahamas and Antilles don't look so hot. Most interestng thing for me right now is the really low sheer between Africa and the Antilles just waiting to welcome the right CV wave to develop before hittng the Antilles......I don't think we are going to be stuck in a Southern track SW Carib-Mexico "Alex type" track for much longer. Give it about one month and the tracks will start to move to the North towards the Greater Antilles abd beyond.....Have and Great Day Folks.

Patrap,

Go to bed. I have an excuse. I'm at work!!

I am sleeping aint I...?

Interesting to note the Banding becoming evident the last frames.

Image notes and observations: No true banding features here, but a nice thunderstorm complex that is moderate to strong in intensity. The radar continues to show everything on the NW side moving away from the main thunderstorm complex (95L itself). In fact, the thunderstorm complex does not complete a full "closed" loop at all. The distance of 95L is far enough away to be viewing the mid levels of the atmosphere here. While there is barolclinic lifting and vorticity, 95L lacks a mid level circulation, let alone a surface reflection. No doubt there are westerly winds on the south side of 95L, only problem is that easterly and ESErly winds exist in the NW side. With this environment in place, 95L is in a poor surface environment and further development shall not occur.

Good Morning, just woke up and took a look at 96L, doesn't look as good structure wise as it did early last night same to have moved more ENE/NE but it does have a more definitive spin, its structur just looks more lopsided, still heavy squalls here in Grand Cayman though. Ck in later going to try get some more shut eye.

96L actually looks like it's spinning itself apart to me. Not a total surprise, but we'll have to see if it can reorganize itself in the daylight hours somehow. I'm wondering now if it's not more likely to be the "C" or "D" storm, than Bonnie, if it ever gets a name at all.

Hopefully, they'll still be sending in the HH's this afternoon, as then we'll know a lot more.

Patrap, your posts are really going well this year :) Thank you

Hey everyone. Good morning (or night in my case, since I still haven't gone to sleep). I've started up a new weather blog outside on blogger, obviously outside of weather underground. Am I allowed to link to that site on here?

The rules say as long as it's non-commercial, which it is. It's just a fun personal weather blog I started up for my friends. Just wanted to share it here, but don't want to break any rules in doing so. Thanks!

What happened to 96L? Pressure up 1 mb....winds down from 30 to 25 mph? Link

What went up..seems to have fallen down and stumbled a tad.

G' morning

Pressure went up.

00Z ECMWF has almost lost it.

The way some were talking yesterday afternoon, I thought for sure this was going to be a TD by now.

If we're lucky, 96L's burning off energy pushing against the Cuban mountains. Someone posted a link last night that I thought showed 96L heading toward Cuba. But it coulda been just an illusion from watching a loop with too few frames.

I'll check the back pages to see if I can find it.

95L getting Juicer in all quads by the frame this morning

Im feeling nappish.

Back round 9am.

Good Morning 95L

05/0545 UTC 27.7N 90.6W T1.0/1.0 95L -- Atlantic

I see a much more definitive circulation with 96L this morning on shortwave ir loops around 17.5n/82.8w, even though it has lost a lot of convection and looks somewhat lopsided in structure compared to last night 96L might just being through motions for a strong comeback later today.

Inre my last response in 3328, here's the link:
3134 centex "Shortwave Sat loop"
So was 96L heading toward Cuba?

Operational 6Z GFS @ 36 hours....

Actually that 00Z ECMWF doesn't show much through July 15th in the Atlantic. Takes 96L onshore in southern Louisiana as a dying system.

That would be great IKE. What's your confidence in this solution?

ECMWF is the superior model. Hard to go against it.

Quoting btwntx08:
i see 95L putting on a show this am its getting to close to land so no development expected...95L chose the wrong time to this thing

You are mistakenly discounting the fact that 95L is a very, very small, and most mportantly compact system. therefore it does not take much for these type systems to quickly ramp up... Also plaese note that 95L has not moved much, at all, over the last 8 hours, and has some of the warmest SST in the GOM to work with...

I am nto saying that 95L will ever amount to anything... It just can't be written off.

96L....

From that shortwave loop it apppears 96L goes straight into Cuba.

Could we finally have a closed circulation with 96L despite its lopsided appearance this morning?

Good Morning, well we finally have a lull in the squalls and rain here, still a howling of the wind though.

G'morn folks. 95 is still spinning like a top I see. That is an interesting little system.

Hmm...96 took a step backwards overnight.

Morning Doug. Yes storm, we are starting to get some from 95 now here in Mobile. I here the thunder in the distance and is raining just a little. Bout time though, we need it.

Yes it did. NHC may lower the odds on it on the next TWO....oh my....
