Groomlakearea51 Posted August 11, 2010 Author Share Posted August 11, 2010 Not as much in the chute today. Also note that alot of the activity is in the southern Sahara. Hopefully it stays that way as it determines where off the African coast the plumes eject.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groomlakearea51 Posted August 11, 2010 Author Share Posted August 11, 2010 This is a "real - time" imagery shot from the GOES SAT. You can see in quite some detail what the TD5 actually looks like right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groomlakearea51 Posted August 11, 2010 Author Share Posted August 11, 2010 Don't always assume where the visible clouds are located is where the heavy rain is located. Here's the water vapor real-time image. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groomlakearea51 Posted August 11, 2010 Author Share Posted August 11, 2010 Which is why we are still getting passing "bands" of rain in Okeechobee. Okechobee is that "analy" looking hole in south central Florida. Next is the IR version which measures heat, or lack thereof. The colder the higher the cloud tops and the colder regions are where the convection develops that will turn it into a storm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groomlakearea51 Posted August 11, 2010 Author Share Posted August 11, 2010 Another enhanced view. Clearly shows that the activity is to the SE of the center of circulation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groomlakearea51 Posted August 11, 2010 Author Share Posted August 11, 2010 Not as high resolution, but this image shows wind speeds. Note that the highest wind speeds are..... in the SE area of the circulation. The classic location as it develops. Eventually, the SE and NE will be where the highest wind speeds will be located.

Mallette Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 I can tell you that if Isaac were still alive and watching the weather from Galveston he'd be furrowed brow. It's about 98, high humidity, hardly a breath of air stirring...not even the usual evening sea breeze. I note outlying cloud buildups are almost to the Texas/LA border. I am hoping for them. We could use a good TS right now or at least some of it. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groomlakearea51 Posted August 11, 2010 Author Share Posted August 11, 2010 If the predictions are right, you might start getting a breeze from the wnorth or west within 24 hours. Hard to say at the moment.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dflip Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Storm 5 is moving a bit faster according to the 11 am posting and is now projected to have maximum winds of 35 knots, down from the earlier 45 knots. It's projected landing is the same, although it may go slightly to the east when it nears landfall. The other two systems haven't changed in their status.

Moderators dtel Posted August 11, 2010 Moderators Share Posted August 11, 2010 Well it's starting to get cloudy this morning, as long as they don't give it a number above a 1 were good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dflip Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Dtel, the good news is Number 5 is now dissipated. In other words, just rain, but no high winds. Now under 25 knots and it may decrease. Hard to say about the next storms, they appear to be a bit further north than some, which may then more likely to hit the Carolinas than the Gulf. We will see.
