It’s definitely trying. A bit messy with the circulation but consistent convection in what’s now a less sheared environment can definitely give it decent odds to develop before moving onshore tomorrow.
It’ll be good to see what recon finds. I’m not entirely sure it’s fully closed off, but shear has dropped significantly and there’s a little bit of time.
Dry air is an issue, especially on the southern side, but convection so far has held on.
I don’t mean this as a negative statement, but it’s mostly monotony year round. Not surprising on a random June morning the conversation isn’t about the intricacies of 850mb temperature advection. Riveting conversation there too.
If we can talk about those three without complaining then I won’t have to complain about the complaining.
Banter but honestly, I’m still sad about Willie Mays’ passing. What a life well lived. I’m looking forward to the game tonight at Rickwood Field.
May try to catch the storms up here in the Albany area today. It’s been a while since I’ve been in chase mode. @weatherwiz I hear Troy tends to be a good viewing spot?
Thanks. As I see it, the well defined center has an uphill fight against shear and then dry air as it approaches the coast. Small systems can trend stronger or weaker very quickly however, so this is definitely an interesting one to track.
As expected, we now have lower level recon rather than a survey, and Alberto is substantially more organized than it was just a few hours ago.
Earlier survey
Now
If it’s an invest or has legit development odds it should get a thread imo. I don’t have a monopoly over tread starting so other folks feel free to start! @GaWx
It’s not terribly surprising to me that the SW disturbance I discussed a while back is an invest now. I am a little surprised to see such a well defined low, but it needs convection, and that may be tough with time running out and dry air/shear lurking. Perhaps it’ll take advantage of the diurnal cycle to spur TC genesis.
