Low level center is decoupling the Mid level center

#1 Postby mobilebay » Wed Aug 02, 2006 10:59 pm

First I want to credit AirforceMet who pointed this out. You can clearly see the low level center moving west while the Mid level center is moving Southwest. I just wanted to start a new thread where everyone could see what AirforceMet pointed out, before it gets buried. Also credit AJC3.

AJC3 also had pointed it out as a possibility.

Heh go figure.
Franklin was right (I think he was the one who forecasted dissipation intially) was right after all....

Decoupling = not good for Chris

The latest discussion mentions a midlevel spin and the surface at low at different positions, as you all know by now. Anyone care to chime in with analysis -- is Chris getting torn apart or only wobbling slightly?

The LLC could enter a better environment and reform convection around the center (a.k.a. Alberto).

Yeah..the LLC has a better chance of developing than the MLC, although the MLC moving to the south could form into Debby...Couldnt it?

Well how is the LLC moving into a more favorable environment? ITs only getting closer to the ULL and the NW shear is still there.

Like I said, this = bad for Chris

Thanks. It just looks to me that the outflow is pretty good. I don't see any high cloud fragments blowing by or anything. Thanks for your response. Makes sence now! :D

wind shear where the LLC is going is very low right now.

It appears that the NW shear is decoupling the MLC and LLC this evening. Even makes it look like Chris is moving SW when in acuality it is probably a temporary unstacking of the centers. This will probably bring Chris a little closer to PR and Hispaniola once the shear abates later tonight, but overall I think it is too early to rally for his death as some are doing.

As much I would like to see Chris do a Debby from 2000, I just don't see it happening. The ULLs are still where they are expected to be and the ridge is as strong as ever.

If it looses its convection, it will be left alone in a real dry environment.

it actually looks like the LLC is at or north of the current forecast track. I wouldn't be surprised to see this go back to the FL straits forecast if Chris gets reorganized.
