18Z SHIPS has elevated probabilities for rapid intensification over the next 24 hours.

 

Prob of RI for 25 kt RI threshold= 43% is 3.6 times the sample mean(11.9%)
Prob of RI for 30 kt RI threshold= 27% is 3.5 times the sample mean( 7.6%)
Prob of RI for 35 kt RI threshold= 15% is 3.2 times the sample mean( 4.6%)
Prob of RI for 40 kt RI threshold= 7% is 2.3 times the sample mean( 3.0%)

TROPICAL DEPRESSION SEVEN DISCUSSION NUMBER 1
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL AL072013
500 PM AST WED SEP 04 2013

AIRCRAFT AND SATELLITE DATA FROM THIS AFTERNOON INDICATE THAT THE
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM SOUTH OF PUERTO RICO HAS JUST ENOUGH OF A
CIRCULATION AND ORGANIZED CONVECTION TO BE CONSIDERED A TROPICAL
DEPRESSION. THE INITIAL INTENSITY IS SET TO 30 KT BASED ON A 41 KT
FLIGHT-LEVEL WIND FROM THE AIR FORCE PLANE.

THE ENVIRONMENT NEAR THE DEPRESSION APPEARS TO BE CONDUCIVE FOR
STRENGTHENING DURING THE NEXT DAY OR SO WHILE IT REMAINS FAR ENOUGH
AWAY FROM HISPANIOLA. ONLY GRADUAL INTENSIFICATION IS FORECAST DUE
TO THE SOMEWHAT DISORGANIZED INITIAL STATE OF THE DEPRESSION. AFTER
THAT TIME...A COMBINATION OF INCREASING VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AND
POSSIBLE LAND INTERACTION COULD SLOW THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE
CYCLONE. THE NHC FORECAST IS ON THE LOW SIDE OF THE GUIDANCE
ENVELOPE...AND IS CLOSER TO THE SHIPS AND LGEM MODELS. THE
WIND SPEED PREDICTION ALSO FITS THE GENERAL IDEA OF THE GLOBAL
MODELS...WHICH SUGGEST THAT THE CYCLONE WILL STRUGGLE AFTER IT
LEAVES THE CARIBBEAN SEA. SOME INTENSIFICATION...PERHAPS DUE TO
BAROCLINIC PROCESSES...IS POSSIBLE AT LONG RANGE AS THE CYCLONE
INTERACTS WITH A MID-LATITUDE TROUGH.

THE DEPRESSION APPEARS TO BE MOVING ROUGHLY 305/8 AROUND THE
SOUTHWESTERN PERIPHERY OF A MID-LEVEL RIDGE OVER THE CENTRAL
ATLANTIC OCEAN. A LARGE TROUGH OVER THE WESTERN ATLANTIC OCEAN IS
EXPECTED TO CAUSE THE RIDGE TO BREAK ALONG ABOUT 70W...WHICH SHOULD
CAUSE THE CYCLONE TO TURN NORTHWARD IN TWO OR THREE DAYS. ONE
COMPLICATING FACTOR IS THE LARGER DISTURBANCE LOCATED A FEW HUNDRED
MILES NORTHEAST OF THE DEPRESSION. THE INTERACTION OF THESE TWO
FEATURES MAKES THIS TRACK FORECAST MORE UNCERTAIN THAN WOULD BE
SUGGESTED BY THE OVERALL MODEL SPREAD. THE NHC FORECAST IS NOT TOO
FAR FROM THE MODEL CONSENSUS EARLY ON...AND THEN IS A BIT SLOWER
THAN THE CONSENSUS AFTER THAT TIME...PUTTING LESS WEIGHT ON THE
NORTHWARD GFDL/HWRF SOLUTIONS.

People are more than likely going to lose their lives from TD7 in areas like Hispaniola due to the heavy rains once this takes on the large wave to its east and grows in size. 

 

I'd refrain from calling it a fish. 

 

 

After it leaves the islands, it will fish.  "Fish" 99.9% of the time refers to a miss on the CONUS or NF/NS.

18Z GFS has 7L survive the crossing of Hispaniola, and while it looks to interact some with the nearby wave, they never combine, although 7L seems to follow in the weakness left by the neighboring waves recurve.  I wish we still had forum red taggers that worked in BM.  And once it gets near Bermuda, it slows down, as if that lone GEFS ensemble member that had a storm coming from the ESE towards the Carolinas could verify,

 

 But the takeway, it might stall near Bermuda and start coming back.  Not liking the shear, however...

 

I will check the rest of the 6Z run when I get home.

I won't believe that track so long as that little wave behind the T.D. is lingering...

TPC has just yellow hashed the region NE of the TD 7 with a low probability.  

 

That area has a convective envelope that's some three times the size of the TD.  Looking at the wind overlay (high), it seems to be establishing it's own outflow, as it is normal to the outflow from the TD.   

 

It should be noted that a few of the models have been suggesting satellite development.  It will be interesting to see how these entities interfere with one another.  

 

In any case, ... ample oceanic heat content, and low shear environment, combined with Sat and Rad appearance ... it doesn't seem the TD will hang around TD status for very long.  We'll see.

700mb vorticity has certainly become better defined with the surface trough northeast of TD7 since this time yesterday.

Do you believe the NHC forgot to consider that variable when they issued this track forecast?

No, but I was just putting it out there. I know it's pretty obvious for you guys since you're more experienced then me, I'm a 17 year old amateur trying to learn from you guys. So I apologize if I point anything obvious.

Be sweet if the BAMM was right, and D-SHIPS doesn't kill it despite all the land.

The NHC disco actually did mention that wave as a reason not to have higher confidence in their forecast track.  And I was 17 about 30 years ago. 

 

ONE

COMPLICATING FACTOR IS THE LARGER DISTURBANCE LOCATED A FEW HUNDRED

MILES NORTHEAST OF THE DEPRESSION.  THE INTERACTION OF THESE TWO

FEATURES MAKES THIS TRACK FORECAST MORE UNCERTAIN THAN WOULD BE

SUGGESTED BY THE OVERALL MODEL SPREAD.
