Wow what a diff. a few hours makes. Eariler this afternoon, the convection was all fired up around the center of the storm. Now, it has completly dissapered. This maybe because the low level inflow is to the north which is in a region of drier and stable air.  The south side of tropical depression 2 is moisture feeding into the wave from the Cape Verdes. As a result, the intensity remains the same...30 knots..(35 mph). T.D. 2 can still be able to regain those thunderstorms in it's center as it's in a favorable enviornment. Unless, the sheer weakens and the low level inflow is in a moist region, I do NOT see this system further developing.

BTW...The Wave in the Cape Verdes has better chance of being Ana!

According to the DVORAK readings, tropical storm ANA has formed....Advisory will come out in 2 hours...let's see how they will declare this

12/1145 UTC   14.3N     33.5W       T2.5/2.5         02L 

Rod, this is why you can't go by those readings alone:  The 11 AM EDT advisory still keeps Tropical Depression #2 at 35 mph as it tries to get organized against shear.

Yes...the also analyze the QUIKSCAT....see they mentioned it in the discussion....

TROPICAL DEPRESSION TWO SHOWS A CLASSICAL SHEAR PATTERN IN SATELLITE
IMAGERY THIS MORNING...WITH UPPER-LEVEL EASTERLY WINDS DISPLACING
THE CONVECTION TO THE WEST OF THE EXPOSED LOW-LEVEL CENTER.
SATELLITE INTENSITY ESTIMATES HAVE INCREASED TO 35 KT FROM TAFB AND
SAB. HOWEVER...A QUIKSCAT OVERPASS AT 0812Z DID NOT SHOW
TROPICAL-STORM-FORCE WIND VECTORS THAT LOOKED RELIABLE.
THUS...THE
INITIAL INTENSITY REMAINS 30 KT FOR THIS ADVISORY. AT THIS TIME...
MOST OF THE LOW-LEVEL INFLOW INTO THE DEPRESSION SEEMS TO BE COMING
FROM THE NORTH...REPRESENTING POSSIBLY MORE STABLE AIR PASSING OVER
COOLER WATERS. THE FLOW ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE DEPRESSION IS
FEEDING INTO A LARGE DISTURBANCE BETWEEN THE CAPE VERDE ISLANDS AND
AFRICA.

35 knots = 40 mph
