Dora looks good this morning. Anyone here think it will be around for another 36 hours? It was suppose to be dead already.

[HURAKAN]

Not that good, should die soon

[Yellow Evan]

Not that good, should die soon

Better than last night at least. It had no convection at 0300 UTC, and now it has some.

[jaguarjace]

Dora sure is the explorer

[Yellow Evan]

Dora sure is the explorer

1999's Dora is more of an explorer than this one, but yea 2011's Dora is epic.

Hasta la vista Dora!

Last Advisory


POST-TROPICAL CYCLONE DORA DISCUSSION NUMBER 26
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP042011
200 PM PDT SUN JUL 24 2011

A NOAA AIRCRAFT INVESTIGATING DORA ON A RESEARCH MISSION FOUND THAT
THE CYCLONE HAS SPUN DOWN TO AN INTENSITY OF AROUND 25 KT.
ALTHOUGH A SMALL PATCH OF DIMINISHING SHOWERS HAS BEEN EVIDENT IN
THE SOUTHWEST QUADRANT OF THE CIRCULATION...THE SYSTEM LACKS
SUFFICIENT ORGANIZED DEEP CONVECTION TO BE CONSIDERED AS A TROPICAL
CYCLONE. THEREFORE THIS IS THE LAST ADVISORY ON DORA.

THE CYCLONE HAS MOVED A LITTLE SLOWER THAN PREVIOUSLY ESTIMATED...
AND THE CURRENT MOTION IS NEAR 325/6. THE REMNANT LOW SHOULD BE
STEERED BY THE FLOW TO THE WEST OF A WEAK MID- TO LOW-LEVEL RIDGE
OVER NORTHWESTERN MEXICO UNTIL THE CIRCULATION DISSIPATES. THE
OFFICIAL TRACK FORECAST IS FAIRLY SIMILAR TO...BUT A LITTLE SLOWER
THAN...THAT FROM THE PREVIOUS ADVISORY.

FOR FUTURE INFORMATION ON THE REMNANT LOW PLEASE SEE HIGH SEAS
FORECASTS ISSUED BY THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE...UNDER AWIPS
HEADER NFDHSFEPI AND WMO HEADER FZPN02 KWBC.

rest in pieces.

[Macrocane]

It was a very nice cyclone to watch.

[cycloneye]

It was a very nice cyclone to watch.

Definitly,a text hurricane that was almost annular at one point and almost a cat 5. Also,it was a big fish that stayed offshore.

[Yellow Evan]

Oh well, Dora is gone. It was sure epic though.

[KWT]

Yep Dora was a cool system to watch, very interesting to see how it evolved!
