If it's moving 340^2 * pi square miles of air now, and it contracts to, say, 170^2 * pi, than it'll need to move the air it IS moving four times faster. I don't think we'll see the full effect because this doesn't take into account winds below T.S. force, but even so, only a 30-40% increase is needed.



If it were only that simple . . .

It isn't that simple. If it were, we could expect an uber cat 5 Delta from Satan within a few days. However, the contracting will, I think, be enough to provide the small amount of extra spin it needs.

You do have to remember that some energy is used to warm the core, some given to the wind, some taken by the shear, some gained from the ocean, some used in moving the system as a hole, some used in creating more convection, and I'm sure many others that I haven't named. While I believe that your thoughts are correct numerically, you make it seem as if that is the only thing (the consolidation) affecting it, where convection bursts will be another major factor with this system in particular over the next 48hrs.

Floater one is now over Delta. Convection continues to increase.

Is it over or is Epsilon waiting in the wings


It's mathematically proven: "For every delta, there exists an epsilon." If you don't know what I'm talking about, just ignore this.

Yep... like I said, I think Delta should have been upgraded much, much earlier when it was looking more organized and/or was newer.

Definitely has an eye-like feature.

That eye looks to support around a 3.5 t...Which is close to 55 to 60 knots. It might of been a hurricane or very close when it had that eye late last night/into this morning. Vince was likely stronger then 75 mph to...

Yes it should of been upgraded about 24 hours earlier.

I think some people are giving up on this system to quickly! I think its only just beginning. The models from what I have seen don't keep weakening it but at the end it starts to reintensify it. Maybe they weakening it due to shear and as the shear relaxes it starts to reintensify or something I don't know. but I don't think this system is done just yet! On IR it keeps gaining more and more convection and convection has started wrapping around the west side now as well. Its looking pretty good IMO.
