Right on, we NEVER will truly know everything about tropical systems. I remember a few years ago, a storm was racing north at a rapid rate far away from tropical zones and was expected to become extratropical, then got over colder waters and started to intensify quite a bit. Im sure somebody remembers the name of that storm, but it slips my memory right now.

Thanks dennis, needed to know.
Now that subsidence on the SW side is wetter.
Is that an indication of anything?

(Still looking froward to Stewart's observations - not that I think he's psychic or anything)

dennis1x1 wrote:the dry air is subsidence because of the hurricane, it is present in every hurricane...it has nothing to do with the weakening......the weakening is caused by westerly winds that interere with the cloud structure.they could be dry, wet, or in between.....

dry air and shear are 2 completely different things......and the asymmetry is caused by the shear...dry air would wrap into the core...the CDO does not show this happening.


I'm sorry dennis. I was speaking about the dry slot of air to the north and west due to the stalled front. Didn't this affect Frances?
