Invest 90L & SE Fires

Posted by: Skyepony, 4:15 AM GMT on April 20, 2007

Developing low in the Western Atlantic to watch. It takes atleast 4 days for a cut off low to fully transition to tropical. Tough call if this one will be out there long enough to pull it off. It's coming west toward land & a front is coming east for it. Of course the models are still split about that & direction.

Notice the storm is already south of where the black XTRP line lays..

The impact map deserves a look at.

ECFL Fire Links & news reprise...

Like I need another section. Hopefully it will be short lived. For now most the fire links are on the right under my Links. I'll try to get the more local ones in this section over the next few days.

All local eyes on the low pressure, models are pointing it more toward NFL or GA, with some rain possible for ECFL & GA. ECFL Should stay a little cooler than we have been, winds should subside some for a day or 2 starting tommarrow & then may pick back up. Chance of rain is hanging around just like the low. NWS gives ECFL little chance for rain, mostly tommarrow & only Volusia. I give us a little better chance of showers, north most but don't count the rest of us out yet. It very well may never get warm enough core to it to be named an STS even though it's winds are that strong. Usually it takes a cut off low roughly 4 days to go fully tropical. It's a matter of how long it can tap the gulf stream before landfall. Of intrest is the Tropical Storm Position and Intensity Page has it as 90L with an ST# of 2.5 which equates 35 KTS, 40 MPH & 1005 mb.

Updated May 7st~ The CPC weekly is out. There take is possible for La Ni�a conditions in 2-3 months.

All the regions took a fall this week.

Anomilies are -.3 in regions 3 down .3, down .2 to 0 in region 3,4. -1.3 in region 1,2 down .2. And down .1 to +.1 in region 4. With 0 in the 3,4 region we are at true neutral.

The ESPI fell from -.66 to -1.17 for the last weeks for the last 30 days.

Rapid cooling for the near future is my forecast. Wouldn't be suprised to see us get into La Ni�a conditions. Don't know if it would last long enough to be offical.

The recent noreaster storm death count is now up to atleast 16. Between the storm & the shooting in VA, it's been a sad few days.

Slight chance of rain, more chance north & tonight (we're talking sprinkles. After that into the long term looks dry.

Major Hazard is wildfires. It's safe to go in the water again.

That makes 0:1 S Hemisphere takes lead. We are running neck & neck as cane season switches from one hemisphere to another...daily

EPAC gets an honorable mention with the light blue box on the prob map. In all truth it looks way more impressive than the 1 invest.

Updated April 16th~ The CPC weekly is out.

The Jan, Feb, Mar average was +.3 which brings us to offical neutral.

As for the week we had a bit of warming in nearly all the regions. This is good, comforting to see a trend up or down in a jagged, up & down way, like history dictates instead of the insane drops we've witnessed lately.

Anomilies are -.2 in regions 3, .2 in region 3,4. -1.1 in region 1,2. And +.3 in region 4. Overall for the week it went up .1 in region 1,2 ~ Region 3 went up .4~ The central & western Pacific in regions 3,4 (up .1) & 4 stayed the about the same. The cold water up wells in the East & then travels west.

CPC Synopsis: A transition from ENSO-neutral to La Ni�a conditions is possible during the next 3 months. Same as last 4 weeks.
The # that counts is region 3&4, that principal (now) # .2, same as last week, now conditions are neutral.

The ESPI rose from -.96 to -.60 for the last weeks for the last 30 days.

We may see a little more warming of ENSO in the next few weeks. Plenty of cold water under there, don't expect an escape from Neutral.
