STATUS: Watching 96L.Invest Bonnie, over the Gulf 7th July, 2010 20:00 News Update
For the north Atlantic...Caribbean sea and the Gulf of Mexico...
1. A large low pressure system located about 290 miles southeast of the
Texas/Mexico border is moving west-northwestward at 10 to 15 mph.
This system has become much better organized this afternoon and
evening...and thunderstorm activity has become more concentrated
near the center. Two noaa reconnaissance aircraft are currently
conducting a research mission in and around the disturbance...and
information received so far suggests that a tropical depression may
be forming. Environmental conditions are conducive for further
development and if additional organization continues...then
forecast advisories will be initiated later tonight or Thursday
morning...which would require that tropical storm watches or
warnings be issued for portions of the coastal regions of central
and lower Texas and northeastern Mexico. There is a high
chance...80 percent...of this system becoming a tropical cyclone.
This disturbance is forecast to bring locally heavy rains and gusty
winds to portions of eastern and southern Texas and northeastern
Mexico over the next few days.

Mexico is moving west-northwestward at 10 to 15 mph. Showers and
thunderstorms have become a little more concentrated about 300
miles east-southeast of the Texas/Mexico border...near the southern
portion of the low pressure area. Conditions appear conducive for
development and a tropical depression could form before the system
reaches the coast of northeastern Mexico or southern Texas on
Yhursday. There is a medium chance...50 percent...of this system
becoming a tropical cyclone. Regardless of development...the low is
forecast to bring locally heavy rains and gusty winds to portions
of eastern Texas and northeastern Mexico during the next few days.

1. A small low pressure system has moved inland over south-central
Louisiana about 25 miles southeast of Morgan City. Now that the
system is over land and will move farther inland tonight...tropical
cyclone development is no longer expected. There is a low
chance...near 0 percent...of this system becoming a tropical
cyclone during the next 48 hours. However...heavy rainfall
associated with this low is possible over portions of central and
southeastern Louisiana. Interests should monitor products issued by
their local national weather forecast office for additional updates
and any watches or warnings.
2. A broad area of low pressure over the northwestern Caribbean sea and
the Yucatan peninsula continues to produce widespread cloudiness and
disorganized thunderstorms. Upper-level winds are forecast to
become more conducive for development...and a tropical depression
could still form over the next couple of days as this system moves
northwestward at 10 to 15 mph. There is a medium chance...30
percent...of this system becoming a tropical cyclone during the
next 48 hours. Regardless of development...locally heavy rainfall
and gusty winds are possible over the Yucatan peninsula and western
Cuba over the next day or so.
STATUS: Watching 95L.Invest Bonnie, over the northern Gulf
5th July, 2010 17:10 News Update

NOTE: there are now two disturbances currently being watched by the National Hurricane Center. 95L.Invest is now the most significant
disturbance of the two that may become tropical storm Bonnie within the next few hours as it heads onshore near Caillou Bay.
1. A small well-defined low pressure system located about 50 miles
south-southeast of Borgan City Louisiana is moving onshore
Terrebonne Parish near Caillou Bay. Doppler radar and satellite
data indicate that sustained winds near tropical-storm-force could
occur across Terrebonne Parish...especially in Terrebonne
Bay...late this afternoon and early evening as the system moves
onshore. There is a high chance...60 percent...of this system
becoming a tropical cyclone before it moves onshore. This system
will move slowly northwestward after landfall and produce locally
heavy rainfall over portions of south-central and southeastern
Louisiana. Interests should monitor products issued by their local
national weather forecast office for additional updates and any
watches or warnings.
STATUS: Watching 96L.Invest Bonnie, over the northwestern Caribbean 5th July, 2010 08:00 News
For the north Atlantic...Caribbean sea and the Gulf of Mexico...
NOTE: there are three disturbances currently being watched by the National Hurricane Center. This is the most significant
disturbance that may become tropical storm Bonnie within the next 48 hours.
2. The tropical wave over the northwestern Caribbean sea has become
less organized overnight and the reconnaissance aircraft scheduled
for this afternoon has been canceled. However...environmental
conditions are conducive for some development...and a tropical
depression could still form over the next couple of days as this
system moves northwestward at 15 mph. There is a medium
chance...40 percent...of this system becoming a tropical cyclone
during the next 48 hours. Regardless of development...locally
heavy rainfall and gusty winds are possible over the Cayman
islands...the Yucatan peninsula...western Cuba and the northwestern
Caribbean sea over the next day or two.

STATUS: Watching 96L.Invest Bonnie, over the northwestern Caribbean 4th July, 2010 20:00 News Update
For the north Atlantic...Caribbean sea and the Gulf of Mexico...
note: there are four current disturbances being watched by the National Hurricane Center. This is the most significant
disturbance that may become tropical storm Bonnie within the next 48 hours.
2. A vigorous tropical disturbance located over the northwestern
Caribbean sea is becoming better organized. Although there does not
appear to be a closed surface circulation at this time...nearby
ship and buoy observations indicated winds of tropical-storm-force
briefly occurred in association with this system during the past
few hours. Environmental conditions are conducive for development
of this disturbance as it moves generally west-northwestward at 10
to 15 mph...and a tropical depression could develop during the next
couple of days. There is a medium chance...50 percent...of this
system becoming a tropical cyclone during the next 48 hours.
Locally heavy rainfall and strong gusty winds will be possible over
Grand Cayman island and much of the northwestern Caribbean sea over
the next day or so.
STATUS: Watching 96L.Invest Bonnie, over the northwestern Caribbean 4th July, 2010 14:00 News

comment: 95L.Invest seems unlikely to become Bonnie, so we are now concentrating on 96L.Invest in the Caribbean which appears to have a better shot - image to follow.
2. Showers and thunderstorms associated with a tropical wave over the
northwestern Caribbean sea have become a little better organized
and surface pressures are beginning to fall in the area.
Conditions appear favorable for some development of this system as
it moves generally west-northwestward at about 15 mph over the next
couple of days. There is a medium chance...30 percent...of this
system becoming a tropical cyclone during the next 48 hours.
Elsewhere...tropical cyclone formation is not expected during the
next 48 hours.

activity has become a little more concentrated this morning...and
surface pressures are falling. Upper-level winds are gradually
becoming more conducive for development...and the system is likely
to become a tropical depression before it reaches the Yucatan

investigate this disturbance later today to determine if a tropical
cyclone has formed.

The Navymil watch developing tropical systems, and perform reconnaisance on them.
This development cycle goes through two initial stages - the investigation cycle
followed by the reporting cycle.
In the investigation cycle, systems are given a codename beginning at 90,
then progessing through 91, 92 etc. for subsequent systems. The L suffix
indicates an Atlantic system, the .Invest indicates an investigation.
When they get to 99 they start back at the beginning.
During the reporting cycle, when the system has been deemed to have reached
tropical depression status, codes 00 to 09 are used with a character-based
name suffix.
Once the system has become a tropical depression the National Hurricane
Center begins reporting it, and they produce their first forecast and map.
The NHC notation for the depression is to use the name 'Tropical Depression '
followed by an uppercase, character-based value. The first depression of
the season becomes ONE. By the sixth depression they are using the notation
'Tropical Depression SIX'.
