When She Decides To Go...

She's gonna go.

JAC knows what I mean. Remember Gustav after it's passing over Haiti last year? It looked horrendous and no one knows if or where it would finally get it's act together.

I remember watching IR and Vis loops the night he popped up near Jamaica. He had little convection around the soon-to-be reformed center, but he had a monster feeder band w/ a pair of giant hot towers on it.

And it was literally like watching air exit 2 balloons to enter a main one. The hot towers evaporated in about 2 hours and the convection shot over the circulation of Gustav like nothing I had seen. The rest is.. well.. you know the rest.

Now look at 94L. Her feeder off to the SW has been intermittently spiking green on the funktop (trying to fire a hot tower.) She's slowly developing a circulation which is currently almost devoid of any convection worthy noting. She's around 10N and 30W right now, moving west along w/ a tank of an anti-cyclone.

I'm afraid that when she decides she wants to, we'll see an energy transfer like Gustav and she's get her name. Lucky for us though, she's not sitting, stewing in the GOM. But I do think she's too far south to be caught by a trough.
