WAHOOOO!!!

You know Matt...I have to say, I am grateful that I will not have internet access after Wednesday until I get back, just so I won't treat you like shear does a wave you so want to see develop.
Of course, I mean that in the most gentle, mature, kind and thoughtful of expressions.

Let me ask this is the environment it's heading into anymore hostile than what it's been through and survived?

I think the people who wrote this off should be getting a good serving of crow soon.

I think the upper level divergence it encountered today is what gave it that extra octane for the convective burst. However, if the shear does not abate and it outruns the upper level divergence and gets enveloped by that dry air, TD3 might be a very short lived storm as it will not be able to maintain its convection. The one positive for TD3 surviving is that there is upper level ridging ahead of the storm which will mean less shear if it can get there.
