Much Ado About Nothing: Invest93L
Posted by: Dr. Jeff Masters, 12:29 GMT le 28 juin 2009 +1
Hi, this is Rob Carver, again filling in for Jeff Masters.

Invest93L is still present as of the 8am EDT Tropical Weather Outlook, but I'm extremely doubtful that it will reach even tropical depression status.

Invest93L's presentation on satellite imagery does not project the image of a strengthening storm. Convection, what there is of it, appears to be anchored over the Yucatan Straits and is not following the low-level circulation center. Also, microwave imagery indicates that the convection is weak, with relatively low rainfall rates.

It is worth noting that even if more convection forms after the circulation center moves into the Gulf of Mexico, there isn't much time for the storm to strengthen. By Tuesday evening, both the NAM and GFS 06Z model runs bring a weak front down into the Gulf, raising wind shear to the point that would dissipate Invest93L.

So, after considering the above, it's my opinion that Invest93L is not likely to intensify and will dissipate in a day or so.

No, it does make mention of it...or at least the tropical moisture part.

Surfmom you are right, the NWS just put out the Hazardous Weather Outlook and they do mention strong rip currents. They recommend not going in above the knee.

It’s Now Legal to Catch a Raindrop in Colorado

DURANGO, Colo. — For the first time since territorial days, rain will be free for the catching here, as more and more thirsty states part ways with one of the most entrenched codes of the West.

I definitely agree there. Some days, I hardly have time to breathe. Other days... I browse the blogs looking for something interesting while I'm waiting for some report to run.
