As of 5pm advisory from NHC, no surface circulation was found. It has been reduced from an orange to lemon. -
INVEST 99L - FAT L (NOW IN THE EPAC: 0/30)
Wannabehippie replied to BarryStantonGBP's topic in Tropical Headquarters
99L right between two areas of dry air. Conditions in the central Caribbean are not favorable for development as per the NHC. It will reach there on Tuesday. -
Still a lot of SAL out in the central, and eastern Atlantic.

99L is pretty far south, at about 8N. On the other hand Erin broke up a lot of that SAL. Still a lot in the mid and eastern Atlantic. But there is that spot between 90L and 99L that is clear of SAL at the moment. -

I would say ENE. But we will find out for sure at the 2pm advisory.

As we say goodbye to Erin, and go on to the next storm. 8:00 AM EDT Thu Aug 21 Location: 34.8°N 71.8°W Moving: NNE at 17 mph Min pressure: 945 mb Max sustained: 105 mph

They already have gotten some rain, just going by satellite photos.

Erin moving due north now. 5:00 PM EDT Wed Aug 20 Location: 31.2°N 73.6°W Moving: N at 14 mph Min pressure: 943 mb Max sustained: 110 mph

You can see how large Erin has gotten https://www.tropicaltidbits.com/7a96c6d7-c750-4edf-a392-f54ab95c2ee5

Is that an outer eye wall forming? New ERC ongoing?
-
I think the only thing holding Erin from regaining cat 3 is that dry slot near the center. If it can clear that out, we probably will get some intensification.

2:00 PM EDT Wed Aug 20 Location: 30.6°N 73.6°W Moving: N at 13 mph Min pressure: 943 mb Max sustained: 110 mph Nice clear eye now, but some dry air near the center of circulation But the wider view looks like it has good outflow to all quadrants.
-
Small eye forming, open to the SE. If it can clear out the dry air it could get some intensification.

Tropical systems will always grow in size as they gain latitude.

That blob of convection was, and remains pretty far south. Almost at 5 degrees. The low coriolis effect will probably inhibit development. Add in the SAL, and I don't get how this is listed as an orange by the NHC.

5:00 PM EDT Tue Aug 19 Location: 26.6°N 72.7°W Moving: NNW at 10 mph Min pressure: 958 mb Max sustained: 105 mph No change in intensity since the 2pm advisory.

Right now Erin is moving NNW, so the GFS model might not be picking up on that. No current flights in to Erin, but last flight, had a higher pressure that the last NHC report. https://www.tropicaltidbits.com/recon/recon_AF308-2005A-ERIN.png
