Flare Up East Of Bahamas

[srainhoutx]

Interesting little flare up of activity E of the Bahamas this morning. I see some TUTT influence further to the E, but interesting none the less as it has been moving S away from the trough.

BOTH (blob of the day)

See what model support it has next run i guess.

It is a pretty blob.


Home made NASA satellite soup. Cloud tops warming some, but still a very pretty blob.

It is the best blob we got right now. If it continues to blob for a day or two it might become a very interesting blob!

[HURAKAN]

You know it's boring out there!!!

[tailgater]

I give it's a cat!
Uh yeah it's offically Boring now

[Annie Oakley]

Well that 'Blob' Cat-Map or whatever is ANYTHING but boring lol!

It looks like one of those mid-level swirls that one sees from time to time, that look quite impressive but then collapse due to lack of surface convergence. That said, there is still a vigorous spin at some level. (I am currently trying to determine the level, and it looks like some of the turning clouds might be low clouds, but the 850 mb vorticity shows nada in that area). Shear is low in the area at this time.

If it can redevelop convection, it's worth a look.

Check out the obs around the perimeter. In particular, the wind directions...

That would almost be a tropical depression if it was off Madagascar.

Problem is Ed thats the wind profile of a high pressure cell....

If it was a low you'd expect a west wind on the southern side but instead its the opposite!

Where do you think Madagascar is?

It's an interesting plot, but I think it's an illusion. What you're seeing is anticyclonic turning around the SW periphery of the Bermuda High. I don't think the area is actually rotating anticyclonically. And note the pressure in the area. Very high.

Lets forget about Madagascar being South of the Equator, and look to a potentially tornadic supercell racing towards the Quad Cities and a Buenos Aires Winter Storm Miracle.

Hmmm, maybe it is one of those Bermuda Triangle Vortices sucking up planes and ships!!!

[Sanibel]

You can see on that visible satellite the tropical flow is screwed up by the permanent CONUS trough and turning it early before it reaches Florida.

They must be trying to find something to do at RAMDIS also.

maybe their want test floater for when we have ana
