Getting POUNDED right now with torrential rains in the Tampa Bay area. Fourth day in a row. This tropical moisture train won't go away!!! Sign of things to come in the Gulf this Summer.

When is D-min/max they always seem to be the deciding factor of the color of the NHC circles

TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
800 AM EDT MON JUL 5 2010

FOR THE NORTH ATLANTIC...CARIBBEAN SEA AND THE GULF OF MEXICO...

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS REMAIN DISORGANIZED IN ASSOCIATION WITH A
SMALL AREA OF LOW PRESSURE LOCATED ABOUT 60 MILES SOUTHWEST OF
MORGAN CITY LOUISIANA. ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS ARE NOT FAVORABLE
FOR DEVELOPMENT...AND THERE IS A LOW CHANCE...10 PERCENT...OF THIS
SYSTEM BECOMING A TROPICAL CYCLONE BEFORE IT MOVES INLAND BY
TONIGHT OR TUESDAY. THIS LOW IS EXPECTED TO MOVE NORTHWARD OR
NORTHWESTWARD AT 5 TO 10 MPH OVER THE NEXT DAY OR SO.

THE TROPICAL WAVE OVER THE NORTHWESTERN CARIBBEAN SEA HAS BECOME
LESS ORGANIZED OVERNIGHT AND THE RECONNAISSANCE AIRCRAFT SCHEDULED
FOR THIS AFTERNOON HAS BEEN CANCELED. HOWEVER...ENVIRONMENTAL
CONDITIONS ARE CONDUCIVE FOR SOME DEVELOPMENT...AND A TROPICAL
DEPRESSION COULD STILL FORM OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS AS THIS
SYSTEM MOVES NORTHWESTWARD AT 15 MPH. THERE IS A MEDIUM
CHANCE...40 PERCENT...OF THIS SYSTEM BECOMING A TROPICAL CYCLONE
DURING THE NEXT 48 HOURS. REGARDLESS OF DEVELOPMENT...LOCALLY
HEAVY RAINFALL AND GUSTY WINDS ARE POSSIBLE OVER THE CAYMAN
ISLANDS...THE YUCATAN PENINSULA...WESTERN CUBA AND THE NORTHWESTERN
CARIBBEAN SEA OVER THE NEXT DAY OR TWO.

A TROPICAL WAVE OVER THE FAR EASTERN CARIBBEAN SEA IS PRODUCING AN
AREA OF DISORGANIZED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE LESSER
ANTILLES AND ADJACENT WATERS. UPPER-LEVEL WINDS ARE NOT FAVORABLE
FOR SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENT OF THIS SYSTEM AS IT MOVES
WEST-NORTHWESTWARD AT ABOUT 15 MPH OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS.
THERE IS A LOW CHANCE...10 PERCENT...OF THIS SYSTEM BECOMING A
TROPICAL CYCLONE DURING THE NEXT 48 HOURS. REGARDLESS OF
DEVELOPMENT...LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL AND GUSTY WINDS ARE POSSIBLE
IN THE LESSER ANTILLES AND PUERTO RICO DURING THE NEXT COUPLE OF
DAYS.

ELSEWHERE...TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION IS NOT EXPECTED DURING THE
NEXT 48 HOURS.

TWO is a little later than normal this morning...

The circulation is lower than yesterday. But 2 AM EDT central preassure is 1008mb so still low pressure. I think still danger system. Position and Shear are favorable to developed.

This rain is from the stationary front which resulted in 95L and the other yellow circle East of Florida.

I don't see Bonnie happening in the next 24-48 hours.

No way this season gets to 23...probably not 20.

Yeah, I know...it's only takes 1.

All of Florida has been getting pounded by rain the last few days... Not that we didn't need it, because the previous week or so was very dry. However, we don't need it back all at once.

Looks Like 95L is trying to make up its mind just like my kids. lol

i agree, but dont subestimate 96L still dangerous. could developed in 1 or 2 days.

Hey Fldewey could you push that rain just a little further north. We are still dry up in the northern part of the county.

I think there is a decent chance that 96L will turn into Bonnie by Wed/Thu in the Gulf...probably make landfall between Corpus / Lake Charles as a weak tropical storm.

Don't all the models say turn due west and hit Mexico?

Good morming StormW. How are you this morning? Well rested I would hope.

Quoting StormW:
Good morning!

Hey man.

well guys I just checked my station with the one at the airport we are both reading 1011mb and droping and the surrounding bouy are reading properly now and now I list them:

NDBC 42057=1011MB FALLING (Western Caribbean)
ICON LCIY2=1013MB FALLING (Little Cayman)
NDBC 42056=1010MB RISING (near Yucatan)

MY STATION=1011MB FALLING (W.B. Grand Cayman)

Intresting, 95L looks like it's trying to bulk up alittle.

Don't all the models say turn due west and hit Mexico?

NOPE...ECMWF Corpus, GEM LA.

I'm doing good. Finally getting some well needed rain.

I have never seen so much rain in Tampa before without the presence of something tropical. I am starting to wonder if Tampa is the new Seattle.

WOW, what happened to 96L? lol

So much for Bonnie by the time recon goes out lol. Today the RIPers will have a ball!

Good job StormW. Morning KOTG

Alex dropped 20 inches of rain in Southwest Texas, west of Del Rio, amazing

Thanks StormW makes sense, looks like some rain for us tommorrow (again).

Quoting StormW:
INVEST 95L AND 96L SYNOPSIS ISSUED 8:10 A.M. JULY 05 2010

Good Morning!

Thanks for the update nice job.

Still think center low preassure is about 1008mb or less. Last report was 1008mb at 2AM, i agree is less organized on SAT than yesterday, so vorticity is lower. Will see what happend in the next 2 days.

Good morning Stormw - Thanks for the update. So far, good news at hand for most of the GOM... Although we all know that can change from one hour to the next.

The same thing happened overnight to 92L. Some people said TD tomorrow, then it had a rough DMIN. It also need a surface circulation, just like 93L (again), to get better organized.

Just goes to show how unpredictable weather can be.

I'm just north of you. The stationary front has been sitting right on top of me for days. My head is killing me. Ow. Ow.
