ATL: KIRK - Remnants - Discussion

[NDG]

Kept at 60, so I suspect might have been a bit stronger in between missions.

They still need to pass through the NE quadrant where the stronger winds are.

Recon seems to indicate that Kirk is now at 45 knots.

I think this storm probably peaked this morning at 55 knots. Probably been a tropical storm since yesterday afternoon.

Not in the short term, as it is entering a more unfavorable area.

All educational institutions are closed in Barbados for tomorrow too. They are waiting on the 11 PM advisory to decide if we have an island wide close and only essential services.

Well, looks like some of you were right about the weakening. That's a good thing.

Depends on what you mean by 'soon' as its just about 10 hours out for us here in Barbados even if it looks like it will pass just to our north. Another 5-6 hours for the other islands like St. Lucia and Martinique.

I advice you to be on your guard as the others islanders like me. We all know how versatile these TT are. Keep watching it!

What is that area that looks like it might be spinning near 14.0N between 56 and 57W? An hour ago the LLC was noted at 13.0N, 57.0W. So, the area I’m asking about is not the LLC. Is that a mid level center?

2 Long-Duration Vortical Hot Towers firing.
Displaced east of the CoC due to shear.
Good outflow north and east quads.

TPW picking up over South America.

Looks to be tapping into it.

Tracking into strong Mid-level and Upper-Level Water Vapor.
Very high CAPE levels in the East Carib.

Seems to be fighting the shear due to the low-level moisture entrainment.
AF309 en-route.
