The old center? Is there a new center taking over to the se? I'm honestly very confused. ;)

NHC does not note the possible developing LLC to the SE in the 5pm advisory... :(

I agree with them not to note it. The entire storm will likely just dissipate soon anyway.

Where do you guys think a possible new circulation is forming? Seems like the burst of convection near the current llc might pull the llc into it?

We'll see what happens. I agree the old LLC is probably no longer a center, but with the hints of a new LLC it is definitely too early to pull the plug.

My best guess for a developing LLC is at 26.7N 90.5W.

Is there really a new llc competing to take over? Any actual evidence from nhc or elsewhere? Is this something to take seriously or not? I'm not sure what to believe.

I've been a S2K member a while but I sure feel dumb. Because if I were to look at this set up w/o the NHC telling me it's going east, I would be telling everyone, she's gonna race off to the NNE with a approaching front to the NW and a blocking ridge over the SE coast. :double:

She will be hooking up with the front probably by this time tomorrow that is why the cone hooks so far to the NE along the coast. That front is hauling, so relocate or not she's going to become frontal soon either way.

Center is opening up and winds are down 5-10 kts from this morning. Recon could only find a couple 35kt winds in heavy rain, where SFMR readings are highly suspect. This is no TS. NHC is being overly cautious in case it does develop TS winds before it moves near the coast. I guess that's their responsibility - to keep the public from relaxing and taking any storm lightly. It's not regenerating with the cold front rapidly approaching tonight.

as far as the forecasting goes, it seems a lot of the issues seem to relate to the "upgrades" that the models underwent, after which they just began forecasting phantom storms left and right and overdeveloping everything.

edit: center did indeed seem to reform to the south, and with slightly lower pressures, and (while I may be imagining things) the shear may be relaxing ever so slightly as I see a thin stream of high clouds going northwest around the northern convection (though if it does relax, it is yet to be seen if it is too little too late.)

It may merge with the front tomorrow near the MS Delta and slip east merged with the front. Definitely not re-developing.

Here's a sat pic with surface obs. Lots of 10 and 20 kt winds. A few 25kts near the Delta but they're not blowing toward Karen, they're blowing in toward the approaching front.

How possible is it that the approaching front is contributing to the slight drop in pressure on the last VDM?

might have some time for the winds to pick up with the pressure fall but I got to think its due to the approaching front...JMO

Just a quick note to keep the amateurs here from getting misled. And I know you really know your stuff Hammy so this is just my opinion rather than a retort :)
By far not all of us see it that way. I think, and a lot of the NHC members think, that the models have done quite well considering the challenges of this season. Many times they indeed forecast a TC to start developing (phantom storm?) but quickly dropped it. That's not really a phantom storm, that's just the models seeing a possibility that most of us also saw. They often dropped it while a lot of us were still insisting it would hang on and develop. Also I didn't see them overdeveloping storms that much at all. Once again, on the (not often) occasions when they forecast a TD or TS to strengthen a lot but it didn't, they usually backed off way before we here or even the NHC consensus did. If I were to rate them compared to before the upgrades I'd say so far it's a notable improvement. The GFS has definitely stepped up to the level of the Euro on TC forecasting now. It beat the Euro on a few occasions this season but a lot of people don't want to admit that. Not sure why - sticking with the old winner? Just my 2 cents.
