Back to the Weather.. watching for center to emerge off the Yucatan

This storm is NOT falling apart looks damn good on all presentation and about to explode.. well pull together better in the gulf... watch out.

epac system is a one night stand as for its influence..as a matter of fact its hugging land and not going out to sea..

TD 3 is dancing and was a bad write up .. I think..from NHC at 11 but well.. time will tell... or Cindy will..

from hurricanecity.. worth posting here to remember

actually posting it so you can see how funny it is..sort of doublespeak...

2 impt things to see here..
one..wait and see..good advice

"AN AIR FORCE HURRICANE HUNTER
PLANE IS SCHEDULED TO INVESTIGATE THE SYSTEM WHEN IT MOVES OFF THE
YUCATAN PENINSULA LATER TODAY."

and second..is this a double negative?
why not just say if it reforms further north in the gulf conditions would be favorable?

"THE UPPER-LEVEL WINDS DO NOT APPEAR TO BE HOSTILE
FOR STRENGTHENING."

truth is... they are saying if it develops further north steering currents are pretty apparent but for some reason the models aren't reading what we are seeing with our eyes..

TROPICAL DEPRESSION THREE DISCUSSION NUMBER 4
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
11 AM EDT MON JUL 04 2005

THE DEPRESSION HAS BECOME QUITE DISORGANIZED OVER THE YUCATAN
PENINSULA. SURFACE OBSERVATIONS ARE AMBIGUOUS ABOUT THE LOCATION
OF A CENTER...AND SOUNDING DATA FROM MERIDA SUGGEST THAT THE SYSTEM
IS TILTED WITH THE MID-LEVEL CENTER LOCATED NORTHEAST OF THE
POORLY-DEFINED LOW-LEVEL CENTER. MY ADVISORY POSITION AND MOTION
ARE HEAVILY WEIGHTED BY CONTINUITY...AND THERE IS LARGE UNCERTAINTY
IN THESE VALUES. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT A NEW CENTER WILL REFORM NEAR
THE NORTH COAST OF THE PENINSULA. AN AIR FORCE HURRICANE HUNTER
PLANE IS SCHEDULED TO INVESTIGATE THE SYSTEM WHEN IT MOVES OFF THE
YUCATAN PENINSULA LATER TODAY.

INITIAL INTENSITY IS REDUCED TO 25 KT. GLOBAL MODELS CONTINUE TO
INSIST THAT NO SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENT OF THIS SYSTEM WILL OCCUR
OVER THE NEXT FEW DAY. HOWEVER...IF THE CYCLONE SURVIVES AND MOVES
INTO THE GULF...THE UPPER-LEVEL WINDS DO NOT APPEAR TO BE HOSTILE
FOR STRENGTHENING. THE OFFICIAL INTENSITY FORECAST IS SIMILAR TO
THAT FROM THE PREVIOUS ADVISORY...AND IS A BLEND OF THE GFDL AND
SHIPS GUIDANCE.

THE TRACK FORECAST REASONING IS ABOUT THE SAME AS IN THE PREVIOUS
PACKAGE. THE TROPICAL CYCLONE IS FORECAST TO MOVE AROUND THE
WESTERN PERIPHERY OF A MID-LEVEL ANTICYCLONE NEAR FLORIDA.
ALTHOUGH THE STEERING REGIME DOES NOT LOOK TOO
COMPLICATED...DYNAMICAL TRACK GUIDANCE IS QUITE DIVERGENT...RANGING
FROM TRACKS TOWARD NORTHEAST MEXICO TO THE NORTH-CENTRAL GULF
COAST. THE OFFICIAL FORECAST IS A COMPROMISE OF THESE VARIOUS
SOLUTIONS AND IS SIMILAR TO THE PREVIOUS ADVISORY TRACK.
