ATL: MATTHEW - Ex-Tropical Storm - Discussion

[Shuriken]

I see no reason for Matthew to remain on the naming list at this point.

Inasmuch as the old mid-level center is now over the Pacific, that's true, because if it reintensified, it'd get a new name.

[Boriken]

Is Matthew re emerging in the Eastern Pacific?

Someone mentioned that possibility. And if it redevelops it will be named Matthew again?

[Aric Dunn]

yeah that is pretty crazy to see the remnants last so long over land and to now be developing over the pacific .. just to eventually cross back over central america in a few days.. I dont think I have ever seen anything like that before.. lol

I dont even know what would happen if it got named in the pacific then crossed back into the carribean.. would it be matthew again or new.. ?

Well, going from the ATL to EPAC, the llc of "Matthew" most certainly dissipated...so if it regenerated in the EPAC, it would get a new name. If it then crossed from the EPAC to the ATL and the llc survived, it would keep the name from the EPAC...if the llc died again, but regenerated once it got back into the ATL, then it would pick up the next ATL name.

Looking at IR, it seems the new depression is pulling most of the convective areas along with it. Does that mean the monsoon gyre talked about earlier will disappear with it, or is that to continue? Or is that what could pull the remains of Matthew back across to the Carib again? (Not like we didn´t see enough of him the first time...)

Thanks for any info.

Seems to be a nice flare up of convection where Matthew remnants are in the EPAC

Most people survived the landslide:

That's great news!

Glad to see that there weren´t as many casualties as originally thought.

Hope we don´t see too much more of this guy. Seems like his remains are coming back around for another pass, rains are starting up in El Salvador again, though its hard to tell just what is being caused by what was Matthew and what is just part of the bigger carib. system.

A vigorous circulation has (rather quickly) spun up south of Guatemala out of Matthew's old mid-level circulation, and is now firing off some big CBs right over the center.

May I ask what CB´s are? I couldn´t find it in the list of acronyms on the reference library forum.
Thanks

Believe it or not, Matthew's old mid-level circulation is still chugging, this morning of the 30th, in the mountains of southern Guatemala: http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/goes/east/watl/flash-ir4.html

...apparently headed northeast now, and destined to plop into the Caribbean near Belize as a low embedded in a trough left behind by Nicole.

Ironically, after several days over land have been unable to completely kill it, it'll probably croak when blow-off shear from the new Invest approaching the Lesser Antilles overspreads the region in about 48hrs.
