llc means low level circulation...so why would it make any difference whatsoever if the "high clouds" were "peeling off to the ne"?

If there isn't a LLCC it is very close to it. The only place I can't definitely determine that the low clouds are moving in towards the center are on the N and NE side. I suspect they are however under the dense clouds. Has anyone got any wind reports out of Jamaica? That would help with the determination. Unless something changes drastically I expect recon to go this afternoon and more than like call TD 23 while flying the system.

Because thunderstorms should be moving in a counter-clockwise rotation around the LLC, if there is one. That's what I think he meant.

Yea, but if the higher clouds are moving in the opposite direction, that means high pressure is building over it. I dunno...original poster, come back and tell us what you meant.

The high clouds can move off to the NE and there can still be an LLC (shear) or, better yet, high clouds should be moving clockwise if there is good upper level outflow...If the high clouds are moving counter-clockwise, then we have an upper level low....now, just substitute the word "low" for "high" in no advance's post, and then I'd have no issue (though I would still disagree) :D

A upper-level anticyclone has formed on top of this system. Conditions continue to become better and better.

I think this is a TD, nearing Wilma status.

In this area, you have a 24hr "floater" minus the eclipse period...

IIRC there were anticyclones on top of Katrina and Rita, and you know how they turned out. There's a chance this Wilma character could be a monster.

Surface observations don't support a depression yet.
