ATL: KIRK - Remnants - Discussion

[northjaxpro]

Yeah, Kirk is getting stripped down currently. Hmm, the shear taking its toll on him. Now watch for the memes posts lol..

We knew Kirk was heading for strong wind shear, and this is the result. Interesting that Barbados, just 50 miles from the center, has a west-northwest wind at only 10 kts. It was 5 kts previously. Another exposed swirl will move through the islands, followed by some squalls with TS winds much later.

Yep. Only this time instead of the ubiquitous "He's dead, Jim" they will be more along the lines of "I'm dead, Jim".

It's not McCoy that's dead, it's Jim that is struggling. "You're dead, Jim".

Oy Vey the shear guillotine

[meriland29]

How long until he is out of the sheer?

He may not make it out of shear.

Is it normal for the forecast discussion and the forecast advisory (#15, in this case) to have two different direction headings? The discussion says 285 and the advisory has 290

Yup.

It’s infinite.

Incidentally, it's gettin' a bit gusty here in the southwest of the island. Not very strong, but I think that may change in a couple hours' time.

What exactly should we expect for the rest of the night in barbados

[floridasun78]

are storm staying wrap north side of center of KIRK

[EquusStorm]

They're certainly trying to wrap, was noticing that earlier; I think it's probably a temporary thing though heh

[AutoPenalti]

Trying to wrap around.

[Emmett_Brown]

Sheared yes. Dead no. (not yet anyway)

[Hammy]

Trying to wrap around.

Seems to have slowed in the last hour or so, so the storm relative shear would let up as a result, even if a temporary thing.

Yes I noticed the slow down as well

[AutoPenalti]

No longer a naked swirl, convection blowing up for now.

Honestly, that's a tricky one. But I'm guessing periods of heavy rain and thunderstorms, accompanied by occasional tropical storm force gusts, tonight. Tomorrow will probably start off a bit on the breezy side with a few showers, but most (if not all) of that should be gone by midday. Of course, I'm not a meteorologist, and I'm just going by what I see on satellite imagery.
