Tropical Storm Chris

[The_OD_42]

what are you people talking about? I was just going to comment about the NW jog and people are calling for dissipation?

I dont know if its dissipation, but something to watch.

Go look at the Sat feed, AVN if you'd like. the 345 image shows the LLC even more open, half circleish

What are you all looking at? Convection looks healthy to me, not being sheared. Last few frames have to largest area of cold tops in a while.

[Extremeweatherguy]

I wonder if the center may actually be relocating like others had said?

take a look at the IR 2

OK guys… why don’t we just say it’s on life support, and on a long road to recovery? :- )

[Matt-hurricanewatcher]

Thank god!

CODE BLUE TO CHRIS!!!!!

Get the crash cart, we may need to shock him.

quick give him another beer!

*smacks Grease Monkey's hand away* No beer! He needs an IV!

What is wrong with Chris? He doesn't look much different to me.

KFDM being the pro here, is he dying?

[jasons2k]

One thing to remmeber is that IR shots can be tricky, esp when looking at the LLC. OK for the 3rd time I'm really going to bed now. I'll see what tomorrow has in store...

[Grease Monkey]

How about instead of saying he's getting killed, say he's just passing away.

Yes, the convection is expanding (of course looks more dramatic on rainbow loop). Are you seeing the LLC filling or spreading? It seems intact to me, but not so distinct maybe?

Hopefully thats not the case...atleast not to the north

[mike815]

HE HAS NOT PASSED AWAY!!!! not even close its doing much better now.

[Stratosphere747]

It's still clearly there. The expanding convection gives an appearance of bumping the LLC to the NW.

Only problem is there is still no convection wrapping around the LLC.

[Recurve]

Can anyone post decoded messages or is there a thread for that?

It's Alive It's Alive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

well recon is flying into it now so this will kill off any doubters. He survived 20+kts of shear today and now is entering an 5-10kt shear enviornment. Chris will be a force to be reckoned with.

I guess it just depends on which loops youre looking at. Looking through the different ones, some show more signs of the NW movement than others and so forth.

[Matt-hurricanewatcher]

People the "Christ" still has to deal with 15 knots shear for about another 2 or 3 hours. Then he will move into the Col at 72 west which drops to 5 to 10 knots. Then the convection will wrap around the cyclone. So I think this could get back up to about 50 knots by 24 to 36 hours. But thats a tricky one. I'm Joking about the name.
