Pouch Name: PGI22L        Official Name: 91L        Initial Center Point: 12N   36W
Notes:

Invest 90L, in the same region, was discontinued over the
weekend, but then 91L was subsequently initiated.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ECMWF:  Phase Speed: -8.8        Determination: average        Level tracked: 700 hPa

Recurves, so track moves far to the north.  (Also, there is a
pouch for PGI21L just to the north of 91L at analysis time at
700hPa, but then it dissipates.)


GFS:      Phase Speed: -8.6        Determination: average        Level tracked: 700 hPa

Distinct track to 120 h.


UKMET:  Phase Speed:        Determination:        Level tracked:



NOGAPS:  Phase Speed: -8.1        Determination: average        Level tracked: 700 hPa

Track only to 24 h.  (850 hPa track was not better.)



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Other potential systems:
PGI20L near 14N, 81W is about to make landfall on Nicaragua.

A weak wave near 67W is denoted by the models, but with no
convection, its chances are slim.

The PGI21L wave has moved north and passed to the west of
PGI22L/91L.  It has a high-amplitude (meridionally) TPW max, but
TPW is confined to the low-level.  The wave has little to no
convection.  In analyses, the models indicate only a trof at
700hPa, which then dissipates, leaving only 91L.

A large convective system ~26W is present between 91L and PGI24L
for the second consecutive day.  Analyses and models don't
indicate anything there, at least in terms of a wave at 700hPa.
