ATL: BARRY - Post-Tropical - Discussion

[Red eye]

The more I watch weather the greater the appreciation I have for the models and the meteorologists'. This storm with all the vortices. I have counted close to ten over the last 2 days since this thing splashed, and yet one is to materialize. Kudos to whoever/whatever nails the track. And Thank God the vortices are boxing for dominance. It could be worse at this point as far as intensity.

We are pretty much in the path right now (Crowley), so I had thought early that I had watched the storm to the east, but what do you know more shifts west with the 12Z.

My two cents, and one I like to watch is the long term water vapor. Mimic. 120 hours. http://tropic.ssec.wisc.edu/real-time/m ... anim=html5
Looking at this imagery I can see the high pressure coming in from the North and filling fast. I think this will make the storm move west more.

The naked swirl just clothed itself with some strong convection from that band.

Agreed, and lots of turning of the clouds here (I believe it is about to form a new, more stable COC):

[Hypercane_Kyle]

This is a very strange looking tropical storm.

[Aric Dunn]

yeah the vort that just tucked under the convection has changed the low level flow to the clouds to the east. looks like it might take over.

and if you notice it reached the bottom of the grye but the last hour it started moving in a straight line still Sw..

I was looking at Biloxi radar and we've got a bunch of tiny storm clouds showing up. Really odd, like storm seedlings. I've been loving all the buildup of clouds the last couple days.

I agree 100%, it is like it instantly whipped the circulation towards itself.

The north half of it looks nonexistent on satellite.

was just about to type this hehe

[Hypercane_Kyle]

This is what I'm seeing.

[gfsperpendicular]

So now the question is, what happens to the mess of convection to the E of the center? Will it wrap more, or stay where it is?

Hope you wrong as i live in Crowley too

I’m sure NOLA is grateful for that half right now

Still lots of dry air.

This storm definitely reminds me a lot of Isaac in 2012. Really struggled in the Gulf due to dry air and shear, but was able to ramp up to a hurricane right before landfall.

Isnt this the dry air over here?

Yes, and it is being moistened by convection.

By convection associated with Barry? Or some other convection?

(Because if it’s Barry itself doing it, then that’s basically sounding too much to me like a mammal moistening inhaled air with its nasal turbinates and...why does my mind come up with this stuff?)

Its from afternoon thunderstorms over florida and from the front dropping down thru the SE CONUS

[jasons2k]

When you step away all day and come back to see some satellite loops it hits you - this is one lopsided system. I don’t that I’ve ever seen a system so wide east-to-west, spanning almost the whole Gulf, and so flat on top. A wide shot of the Gulf looks a lot more like the ITCZ than a TS.

Yes it did. Barry may do the same thing upon landfall this weekend.

[mpic]

I'm seeing it mentioned that Barry might sag south. If it does, could this be an opportunity for it to gain steam and go more west? Our Houston stations are showing a track straight into here and telling us not to discount the possibility. What is the reasoning behind this if it's going to come in east of us?

[SouthFloridawx]

Still looks to be a lot of dry air at lower, mid and upper levels.
