Title: Invest 94l/unnamed Tropical Storm?
Matthew - June 21, 2005 07:46 AM (GMT)
Over the last hour or two a tropical wave/distrabance has moved to around 58 west.
http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/tafb_latest/CAR_latest.gifAlso a high pressure area has started to build to the north(Now all the to 65 west) of the Distrabance/Wave. As that builds southwestward the Ull over the central Caribbean centered at 15 north/74 west is moving westward. The jet streak/Max is now located around 70 west. As this pattern enhances it has formed a Upper level high over the Eastern Caribbean right over our system. You can see that with the clouds which it is centered near 65 west/15 north. Also because of the high to the north getting stronger the system has picked up speed over the last few satellite images. In has also developed from a spread out area of thunderstorms/convection to a ball of convection centered near 13 north/59 west or long the wave axis.
So we got a upper high building to the north. Which should steer this to the west or west-northwest over the next 24 to 36 hours. Then we got a upper high forming over or near the system by the clockwise movement an the overall turning an the clouds.
The Cmc has it on target so far...
http://www.meteo.psu.edu/~arnottj/cgi-bin/...city&hour=000hrThis shows the 250 millibar pattern very good.
http://www.meteo.psu.edu/~arnottj/cgi-bin/...city&hour=000hrThe shear map shows that the jet max is centered around 70 west. With a upper level high over our system.
http://www.meteo.psu.edu/~arnottj/cgi-bin/...hear&hour=000hr12 hours 925 mililbars
http://www.meteo.psu.edu/~arnottj/cgi-bin/...city&hour=012hr The system enters the caribbeans.
At 18 to 24 hours it shows the system becoming better defined.
18 hours
http://www.meteo.psu.edu/~arnottj/cgi-bin/...city&hour=018hr24 hours
http://www.meteo.psu.edu/~arnottj/cgi-bin/...city&hour=024hrBy 36 to 42 hours you can see a weakness/trough moving into southeastern Canada.
http://www.meteo.psu.edu/~arnottj/cgi-bin/...sure&hour=042hr48 hours a weakness appears at 80 west.
http://www.meteo.psu.edu/~arnottj/cgi-bin/...sure&hour=048hr60 hours
http://www.meteo.psu.edu/~arnottj/cgi-bin/...sure&hour=060hrBy 72 hours the weakness starts to left out. While a area of high pressure starts forming off the southeast coast. Around 45 north.
http://www.meteo.psu.edu/~arnottj/cgi-bin/...sure&hour=072hrBy 96 hours this area of high pressure moves north of it. Which would push it to the west.
http://www.meteo.psu.edu/~arnottj/cgi-bin/...sure&hour=096hr108 hours
http://www.meteo.psu.edu/~arnottj/cgi-bin/...sure&hour=108hrBy 120 hours it has a 1000 millibar or so tropical storm off the coast.
http://www.meteo.psu.edu/~arnottj/cgi-bin/...sure&hour=120hrBy that time a trough/Jet stream is to the northeast.
http://www.meteo.psu.edu/~arnottj/cgi-bin/...city&hour=120hrThe 12z nogaps builds the high pressure to the north way to late. Which is why it doe's not forecast this to play out. The Gfs is not doing very good for the past few weeks. In so it was not used. In which case it pushes a tropical wave into the western Caribbean with pressure falls.

jb is indicating possible tropical trouble this weekend in the gom
Matthew - June 22, 2005 08:20 PM (GMT)
It is 94L. In looks to have perfect outflow. 10 knot shear. In appears to still have much model support.
Look at this it is almost has a closed Cirualtion.

The Gfs,Cmc,Gfdl all show this thing developing. :lol:
Matthew - June 23, 2005 01:11 AM (GMT)
Because the shear over it is only 5 to 10 knots. In has decreased from this morning...The Cmc,Gfs,Gfdl(18z) develop a low pressure system that moves across cuba into the western Atlatnic. Then up the coast of Florida. There is a low level trough already by quickscats. The convection has just fired over the high mountains of Hati tonight. In I expect it to come back as it moves away west-northwest for the next 24 to 36 hours. Then a northwest movement then after. I also expect a cyclone out of this. Reason is the models are at this like they where with Arlene now.

LOWERED TEMPS A FEW DEGREES AS EXTENSIVE CLOUDCOVER WILL PREVAIL.
NO OTHER CHANGES MADE TO ZFP.
The way I see it, is this will be every bit like a tropical depression. This is everything it needed but a offical spot.
Matthew - June 26, 2005 03:48 PM (GMT)
Also to note is that the area of 25 to 35 mph winds. Where very large with this system by Buoys with quickscats. We will see a tropical depression or two sooner or later that will not even give more then 10 mph winds over your house. With a pocket of 30 mph winds under a thunderstorms. This was more organized then most depression. That is food for thought. Even through is was a suprize in very short lived. Maybe not more then 3 or 4 hours.(In not offically one)
Matthew - June 27, 2005 12:52 AM (GMT)
43 mph gust over its northwest quad. In it still looks good as it moves off to the northeast. A little discupling going on as it moves into the cooler waters. I expect a upgrade to a tropial storm on the best track later this season.

It could happen, look at this example from 2000, that storm was never upgraded until best track came.

I'm so sure that this was at least a tropical depression. If not a tropcial storm. It has been moved into the 2005 Atlatnic storm forum.
Here is my report
Unnamed tropical storm
Review 1#
June 26-2005
11pm pst
A unnamed tropical cyclone formed around late June...
A broad enlongated area of low pressure was moving northward. With most of its covection/weather over the northern quad. The recon found that it no longer/never did have a surface reflection by the 25th of June. Later that night a high pressure formed to its north. Which turned the broad area of low pressure westward with its convectoin/energy. This system had formed a more tropical appearance by around 2am est 26th June. The system then started to get oreganizion as it was moving west-northwestward. As it was moving at the outter banks the cyclone started to form a central core/wind field. The system then started to form a low level cirulation. By 8am est the system was moving through the outter banks. In which case the buoys around 50 to 80 miles apart clearly shown that there was a area of surface low pressure/LLC. The wind out of the southwestern quad was to the southeast. A buoy on the eastern quad shown a northward wind. While a buoy on the northeast shown that a northeastward wind had formed. Quickscats at that time shown a closed cirualtion with winds of 25 to 30 mph. As it moved started to move inland at 15 mph to the west-northwest or northwest. It shown up on radar as a tightly packed system with feeder bands. Also as it was moving inland it had started to form real defined bands around the center. Wind gust where from 30 to 40 mph with heavy rainfall. The system then turned to the north by later that morning. Moving back off the coast by around 5pm pst/8pm est. The system was still very oreganized with a clearly defined LLC. Wind reports of 38 mph at a c-man station near the northwest quad was reported. With a report of 43 mph gust...Other reports of 30 mph or more have been reported...This system also has a large area of 20 to 25 mph winds. In which case your normal gulf of Mexico depression you would be likely to have heavy rain with 10 mph winds.
The system kepted moving northeastward over the cooler waters just off the east coast. The system started to show signs of slow decoupling.
Looking at the data this may have been a weak tropical storm as it made landfall. Then again as it was moving back over the water.
I say 40 mph winds Pressure...1014 millibars
Rain reports from .25 to over a inch...
