The favorable environment between the 2 upper lows. AFM had explained it well on another thread earlier. I will try to find his explanation if I can.HouTXmetro wrote:Extremeweatherguy wrote:there is actually very little shear west of Chris, he is moving into a better environment. Even pro mets on this board have said that. He is moving toward the COL.HouTXmetro wrote:Extremeweatherguy wrote:shear is taking it's toll on the LLC right now, but if it can move just 1-3 degrees further west the shear should lighten and that is when Chris will have an oppurtunity to re-organize.
Do you see the shear the NW of Chris? The odds are stacking against him.
What is a COL?

I keep checking the lastest visibles to see if Chris will refire convection and so far, nada. This might be a premature call but I think time is running out for him. He sure did get everyone's attention around here but thankfully it's looking more and more like a non-event. With Dr. Gray lowering his numbers it's a good day for the battered gulf coast!

Can anyone recall in tropical weather history when a system in the kind of shape Chris is currently in came back to life?
Nevermind .. I see a link on another thread. Fran in 2001 for example. Wow.

Yeah, it happens a lot in years with easterly shear (2003 or 2004 I think was one of those years) or if my nominclature is incorrect, shear from the east. People get all excited about massive blowups which turn out to be mid-level energy with an exposed center usually at the west edge of the system that noses out and looks like nothing only to blow up again and re-wrap. You see the naked swirls often in the central pacific, but I don't recall too many of them refiring.
