The massive ridge over Texas and Louisiana (and quite a large region of the Gulf Coast) should steer any developing system west to west-northwest into Central America and/or the Yucatan then on into Mexico for the next week. Don't see any sign of the ridge decaying in the near future. So if 92L develops, it probably tracks across the mid Yucatan Peninsula (just north of Belize) then across the Bay of Campeche into Mexico, possibly up around the Tampico area or a little south of there.
I'm certainly not concerned about it hitting Houston. All the models would have to be completely wrong about the ridge for that to happen.

Yeah that recon info gives a idea on the general area it will be heading. Far enough S that it seems like C America/Belize and possibly into the BOC for a short time would be the early prognosis.

THIS SYSTEM HAS CHANGED LITTLE IN ORGANIZATION DURING THE PAST
SEVERAL HOURS. SLOW DEVELOPMENT OF THIS DISTURBANCE IS POSSIBLE
OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS AS IT MOVES GENERALLY WESTWARD AT 15 TO 20
MPH. THERE IS A LOW CHANCE...20 PERCENT...OF THIS SYSTEM BECOMING

It looks like the convection has weakened a
little from earlier today, but the overall appearance is still rather impressive. Another 24-48 hours and perhaps we will see an low level circulation form.

Just a possibility, but Euro has been King all season.
Maybe a very slim possibility, Ed. That ridge is pretty strong right over Texas, and it's not forecast to weaken for the next 3-5 days. My track is into Mexico south of Tampico if it develops. Don't think it'll get north of about 23N.

Still doesn't look like anything is organizing but former 92l in appearance stands out over the other two systems.

Nice banding features. The center fix is S of the stronger convection that appears to be a Mid Level spin IMO.

When is the MJO supposed to turn positive and the shear dissipate?

The best place to go for an MJO update is the weekly MJO update link here:
http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/p ... update.ppt
You'll need PowerPoint to view it. Basically, there's no sign of a true MJO for the next few weeks and probably not through the first week of September. It's weak and in the Asian region. Typically, an MJO signal takes a good 30 days to reach from there to the East Pacific. But since this one is weak, it probably won't make it. Shear, however, is steadily falling across the Tropics.
