Invest 97L Hovering Over the NC VA Coast.... Could It Get a Name Out Over Water? How Bout the GOM? And, Oh My Gosh... a REAL WAVE Coming Off of Africa.

Radar 

This is Invest 97L that has a 30% chance at 8 AM Sunday.

Discussing 97L first as it has a designation.

It has a potential future.

The loop below shows it over the NC Coast.

And I do mean over the coast.

As in more inland than off.

Though it's moisture is everywhere.

And the end of the frontal complex is the area in the NE GOM.

More on that later.

There's a ground stop at Chicago O'Hare airport as another huge complex storms all colorful on satellite imagery races through. I'm wondering what they are feeding those storm complexes out over the Dakotas, down into Minnesota then aiming at either Chicago or Arkansas. It's been one after another like some pinball machine stuck on sending another ball out of the chute and doing the same musical dance down and out.

Yes stage upper left is our MidWest Monster Cell that's on some sort of energy drink that perhaps the Atlantic needs to think on switching over to as one tropical wave after another literally bites the dust; it could use one of those Bing or Bang drinks that's all the rage this summer. I saw one Cotton Candy flavored in the market at the local Harris Teeter but no I couldn't. I'm more a coffee girl as everyone knows and yes they have a grocery store here named Harris Teeter. Now you understand why Publix has moved into the general North Carolina area.

Speaking of things that moved into the general North Carolina area we would be discussing Invest 97L that was announced with low odds but in the right location close to the coast to deserve it's own Invest tag and set of model runs. It's out there and there is a strong possibility it could intensify once it moves off of land and is totally out over the Atlantic.  Models below.

Note last intensity runs showed it could get a name.

We currently have two small cells that popped up over their large stalled out frontal boundary anchoring both edges of the system that is starved for a real center or well possibly it needs some Pina Colada Energy Drink. But we are watching and wondering on possibilities in the Gulf of Mexico down the road and if 97L running out of road can develop into something that gets a name or Tropical Depression designation. Earthnull shows their sneaky presence hiding in some cove somewhere that pirates Blackbeard and Lafitte used to evade the authorities and rest up before venturing out again on the high seas.

I don't know what to say beyond this....

...we are watching close in until the real players show up.

You know Pre-Season NFL Football.

Let's see what some of those draft picks got for us?

As I said the other day.

With or without a name.

It's lots of tropical rain.

If it's flooding your yard or street....

....it's a real pain.

Out by Africa.

Far away is a new wave coming off the coast.

A nice looking wave.

I keep waiting for some to have a real center.

You know low pressure...

Nice. That's ...okay interesting.

No models don't do much with it yet.

Some long range models show the Atlantic waking up.

Let's wait a day or two before jumping on it.

And let's see what it looks like after jumping in the pond.

So for now, have a good weekend.

Enjoy this Sunday.

Labor Day is around the corner.

Fall is on everyone's minds.

Come September we will have some spin going on.

Both on the playing field and in the Atlantic.

Honestly if I took every Invest seriously....

...or every tropical wave.

I'd go stark raving crazy.

It's a short trip .... trust me ;)

But I really try to hide my crazy...
