4030 posts in 30 hours...over 2 invests.

Imagine a cat 5?

That and with people's tendency to get bored over existing systems, you'd see a bunch of "when and where will we see invest X?"

Halloween would be better!!!

December would be the best, cold and snow, Nor'easter season!

95L Floater - Rainbow Color Infrared Loop

It's doing what I was afraid it would do, pulling off that very warm water to its West.

O yeah..it found a cozy spot fo sho. And the West side is building some stuff too.

96L improving on satellite presentation slightly.

Quoting WatchingThisOne:


Well, at least the humidity is only around 30%. So far. Stay air-conditioned, wear light, light-colored clothing, stay hydrated. Looks like things will start to cool off a bit on Thursday.

Be glad you don't live in Louisiana...feels like 98 about 6 months out of the year!

Only a 200 mile difference! LOL.

True...same questions that no one can definitely answer.

I hope not all invests are going to be like this for the season, with all the scattered coordinates and various discrepancies between them.

For the record, thanks for sticking with 95L and keeping us up to date on it Patrap. I never counted this little bugger out if not just for its ability to cause major problems with oil central.

Nice little confluence axis (from post 4036) extending straight S from the mouth of the river, Pat. Bet that gets pretty active this afternoon.

Im with yas on in that regard.

Well Its always good to stick with what ya seen before.
And we've seen this a lot thru the years.

And a lot of others have too.

Never discount a Vortex in the N GOM first week of July.
Climo tells us that easily.

TAFB at 1.0. They as well are very off on the location of the COC.

Patrap, it's been like that for days here in Panama City. 95L started very close to us here so we've been feeling it through its entire journey plus we have that stuff down near Tampa throwing stuff our way. I was on my way to work Friday morning and the sky was the deepest blue ever over my head but in every direction around me there were huge storm clouds blowing up. It was very cool.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? THAT is right on the money! WOW!

Quoting TampaSpin:


YA! LMAO at you!

The discrepancy between the correct coordinates and the once SAB gave out is about 200+ miles.

I'm in a feeder band off 95L! Woohoo!

hang on Ike..!

Lol Ike, I've been in one for days. Enjoy the ride! I still say we should have given him some kind of pet name.

Ike, are you in Pensacola or PC?

My rain gauge is approaching 3/4's of an inch...heavy rain and thunder now. 77.0 outside.

Quoting Kristina40:

Defuniak Springs,FL.

It appears I'm about to get hit again as well. Hubby and I were just about to head out for oysters if we can find any. Looks like we'd better wait a bit til this passes.

95L found a moisture tap to the east.
2.1 - 2.3's on precipitable water.

Someone chuck a Sonde up real high..

Ah, well howdy neighbor and hang on. I'm going out to move my potted veggies in under the eaves.

ooooooooh-eee

Who ordered all this rain!! It's not supposed to rain on three day weekends! ;-)

What is the current movement of 96L? I can not see a NW movement into the Gulf but more northerly IMO....

I call 96L a blob of confusion, I'm not sure anyone really knows where the true center is or where it will consolidate, I personally think its around 18/82.5, but who really knows?

hi eveyone. how is 95L affecting the oil? is it pushing it out, in, west or east?

i hear that they have 900 more feet to go on the relief well, so hopefully they will get it done by August. I'm trying not to believe the doomsday stuff that it's going to sink collapse and flow until empty. I won't believe it until it happens, just for my own mental well being.

Quoting IKE:
12Z ECMWF

You notice that the ECMWF's the only one that's got 96L to the south still? CMC, GFDL, HWRF (GFS hints, but that's it) all N TX/LA border-ish

Quoting F4PHANTOM:
Put all three coordinates on a map and you will see the length of the tropical wave.

That isn't the point. The only correct coordinates are the ones given out by the ATCF site, SAB and TAFB are both off a few hundred miles.

I'm actually in Hiland Park near the 231 Winn Dixie. Looks like the worst of it is going to pass south near the Beach.

Im betting BP had sumthing to do with it.

Absolutely.

It almost looks like it's moving west.. or at least the convection appears to be..

Looks like it comes in in extreme SE/southern Texas...moisture to it's north.

Several other waves on that run. Nothing serious.
