Thanks for the update. Once the NOAA GIV jet gets in there and gets the information digested by the models, this should make her future track allot clearer.

Is it possible that the weakening is due to the storm now crossing Fabian's cold-wake, rather than any outflow interaction with the TUTT?

And do you mean the TUTT to the *West* and the well-established trough to the south-*East*, rather than the other way 'round?

If so, shouldn't the TUTT to the west provide ventilation? Shouldn't that help strengthen the storm?

Or am I completely wrong, and there is a well-established trough to the SW?-- though I'm having trouble finding it...

thanks.

Getting very very tired and I don't have the benefit of having someone to edit/read over forecasts before kicking out...so this will be the 2nd night in a row I'll have to correct.

Thanks...you're exactly right on the west east switcharoo

Notice the black line that is standing up/squishing the outflow a little on the WEST side...the cold wake could also be responsible but overall...it's just a natural progression...these things usually dont stay that strong as long as Isabel did.
