You might be looking at old data. A new burst still happening.

Live Loop: http://wwwghcc.msfc.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/ge ... umframes=5

Live flash loop: http://rammb.cira.colostate.edu/ramsdis ... is_floater

that's what he means by cooled cloud tops...higher clouds=colder tops.

Absolutely incredible amounts of rain coming down in Northern Palm Beach County the past half hour. I haven't seen it like this is a long time.

with the center so broad and diffuse i don't think radar is the best way to discern short term motion.

I'll defer to you on movement as I couldn't tell a VDM from an ATM, but NHC does mention that the storm has moved left of forecast points.
