My biggest surprise was the forward motion. Does anyone see this going north-northwest? It is heading due west on my visible imagery unless I need my eyes checked :P

:uarrow: Yes, it is back to moving due west and at around 10 knots, not just 6 knots, for now. As of 5:45PM, I have it at 32.2N, 78.3W. The longer it maintains an either W or WNW motion, the quicker the shear will drop off this evening to near 5 knots IF the 12Z GFS is accurate as there still is strong shear just to the NE.

OK thanks. Yeah I am measuring either west or west-northwest but not north-northwest. Maybe Stewart was seeing something different. No biggie.

The center of the weak vortex should be on the coast near Charleston in a few hours. It's dead.

I won't bet against that, but shear is about to drop off sharply and be that way for a good 12 hours or so, she'll continue to be over warm water, and DMAX will coincide with this later tonight. Even if she went all of the way to CHS, that wouldn't happen til late tonight..say 3 AM or later.

There is zero low-level convergence. No way Julia qualifies as a tropical depression. It's a remnant low in a high-shear environment. I wouldn't bet on it coming back.

Wherever it makes "landfall" probably won't even notice it.

Normally, I wouldn't bet against 57 and I sure won't in this case. You want him in your corner. When he brings Bones out, you know it is over for a tropical system. So, 57 will quite likely be right. However, because I have a little concern about the shear dropping so much over warm water, I won't bet the farm against a last minute development. Besides, it gives us something to talk about and he hasn't quite brought out Bones although I bet he's thinking about doing just that in the not too distant future.

Update: our special little lady still isn't doing anything. Time is running out but there's still some time. It is hard to decipher movement since the LLC isn't as distinct as it was the last few days. But I think she may have turned NW and slowed.

POST-TROPICAL CYCLONE JULIA DISCUSSION NUMBER 21
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL AL112016
1100 PM EDT SUN SEP 18 2016

Strong shear and dry mid-level air have continued to take a toll on
Julia today. The cyclone has become an exposed swirl of low clouds
devoid of significant deep convection for more than 12 hours. Based
on this, Julia is being designated a post-tropical remnant low, and
this will be the final NHC advisory on this system. The initial
wind speed is set to 25 kt, which is based on the earlier ASCAT
data, but this could be generous. The cyclone may produce some
disorganized thunderstorms during the overnight convective maximum
period, but increasing southwesterly shear on Monday should limit
any organization or persistence of the activity. The low should
gradually spin down and dissipate in a couple of days.

Julia is moving northwestward at about 6 kt. A turn toward the
north is expected overnight ahead of a shortwave trough moving into
the southeastern United States. After that time, the remnant low
is forecast to meander over eastern North Carolina until
dissipation occurs.

Moisture from the remnants of Julia are expected to interact
with a frontal boundary moving into the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast
United States. This is likely to produce local heavy rainfall from
eastern North Carolina northward to the northeastern U.S. during
the next couple of days.

Wouldn't it be something if she were to suddenly get more convection and strengthen later tonight after being downgraded to a remnant low? Odds of that low but not close to zero imo. I'll be up watching her for a few more hours. It has become a regular ritual for me the last 10+ days. :lol:

Actually had a pretty good shower a little while ago with even a slight rumble of thunder, here at the coastal NC/SC line

Make no bones about it, she's dead as no convection appeared near the center at DMAX overnight when shear was supposedly very light. I'm saying this despite her center still being offshore about 100 miles SSE of the SC/NC border moving NNE. Julia was quite the interesting experience from a tracking perspective!

I think Julia may have one more trick up her sleeve. You better watch her. She'll come back to life and bite you ;-)

No but seriously it looks like it is at least jogging eastward right now. It'll be interesting to see what happens after the trough leaves and the ridge builds back in.

Extremely loud long thunder rumbles from out over the ocean now, rattling the walls & vibrating the floor

I like the way it never did what a model or forecaster said it would. Even now it is headed out to sea when the final forecast at 11pm had it dissipating over NC.

Shes been fun to track. Our ocean looks cool this morning. Just got back from my walk. I'd post a picture but really don't know how on here. So onto watching Karl and then perhaps Lisa. The season is still young (ish).

When I made my "no bones about it, she's dead" post only a little over three hours ago, there was no convection nearby and she was moving NNE. Now all of the sudden there's the most convection there has been near her in over 24 hours, which is just to the south, and she's changed direction to just east of north only up to near 32.9N, 77.4W, as of the 10:45 AM pic. I'm still going with "she's dead" for now but no 0Z/6Z major operational model had her moving OTS now. They all had her going harmlessly into NC as a very weak low and not allowing for regeneration after runs from just a couple of days earlier all having her stay OTS and then getting caught beneath the new ridge and forced back SW as a surface entity.
