ATL: BARRY - Post-Tropical - Discussion

[Red eye]

Battle of the center's. One located at about 88W the other at 90W. My money is on the 88W. It looks more voracious and has a larger footprint. What say you? What say's recon ultimately.

Neither, they are both rotating around the main circulation

This is what I'm seeing.

That's certainly an area to watch, but the convection is just having a hard time wrapping around any of these mesovortices.

One thing to mention is that dry air is slowly being eroded, by late tonight the dry air may not be much of a hindrance. That is likely the main reason that Barry has looked more like half a storm.

[Sciencerocks]

That northerly shear(models also show a little bit of dry air to the west!) and the fact that the LLC is so broad isn't going to allow this system to strengthen very much these next couple of days...Surprisingly as it is making landfall it will probably look the best it ever will in its life as land friction will allow the broad LLC to tighten and that will allow for increased convergence.

I'll say 50-55 knots for this system...Small outside chance for a little stronger within the last 6 hours before landfall.

a. EAST
b. WEST
c.NORTH
d.SOUTH

I'm not the most knowledgeble on tropical cyclone terminology so this storm is giving me a headache. It looks so weird I have like no idea where the center is lol

I imagine NHC will increase the winds on this next advisory based on what recon is finding.

[tarheelprogrammer]

It appears as if they have found some higher winds. Any pro METS know exactly how strong the winds are that they are finding?

Of course it is its being bombarded by dry air and shear to its north. Main threat has been should be those 15+ inches of rain expected. Hopefully it continues

[BRweather]

It is definitely strengthening despite it's poor appearance.

strengthening despite its ugly appearence

[Aric Dunn]

Well I wish this thing would make a decision... so i can make a decision to get on the road or not.

[Stormcenter]

Looks like it's "trying" to finally wrap around convection completely around it's center.

[MississippiWx]

Barry's center isn't nearly as broad as earlier and it is located right about where it should be. No relocation to the south or anywhere else, yet.

Another llc spun south under the mid level center which may be where they got the reading.
There are at least two llc's visible both rotating around under the larger mid level circulation.

Barry just spit out another vort NE of its center, fun times with Barry At this rate it may not strengthen much more before landfall.

Gotta love all the dry air on the north side but I don't know how long that will last.
Did you see the new vort that just spun south under the middle in that convection gap?
