Saving grace?

Dry air is being sucked towards the system...in fact it already looks like the western side of the system is being hit pretty decently with this dry air as evidenced on water vapor imagery.... take a look at it

There is no dry air. Hurricanes don't strengthen like this in dry air environments.

I would have bought into that at 9am. and I am hoping that some dry air will interfere.

My local met here in Tampa did give one glimmer of hope "long term (12 hours) there is possibility of weakening, after it continues to strengthen for the next few hours."

Dennis will suck that up and spit it out. We need some oranges and reds, and lots of it.

Good topic.


While forming a donut, Dennis is warming. Dry air and maybe shear?

Dennis is throwing cold water on the "Dry Air Theory" as we speak. This is becoming a Monstercane.

Dennis is becoming an annular donut.

Also, don't annular canes have warmer cloudtops?

I sincerely hope its not turning annular, because remember I had a dream about an annular cane htis year....I dontl ike dreams (nightmares) like that to come true.

Anyway I bleieve it has entrained some dry air and a large dosage of it. That might keep it at bay who knows.

No.


What worries me is Dennis is regaining that tight circular band he had prior to 150mph.

Looks like he's beating climo back...

this is starting to look more annular as the core becomes detatched from the bands. These types of storms are typically far more stable than the Lili's of the world

Do you have a link to look at to see the core detaching? I don't know what annular looks like. I thought it meant more oblong (obviously wrong).

Annular means 'ring-like.' In other words nearly a perfect circle. See this thread for lots of examples:
