Do you see the shear the NW of Chris? The odds are stacking against him.
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.


What is a COL?
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.

I'll bet anyone that by tonight the swirl will be gone and no regeneration why because theirs a load of shear NE of the system taking its toll and the ULL to its NW.

I was like "What the heck happened" to Chris this morning?!?! It just looks like a blob of thunderstorms over the islands this morning.

I don't know, to this untrained eye, the outflow looks pretty good for a naked swirl. Everything appears to be in place with the system to rock if it can redevelop convection. If not, well, it's cool to watch. :D

Yes I'm willing because it won't have the southern inflow due to DR.

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!

No. It is a closed circulation. It's a TD....but as long as it is not a wave...there will be advisories.

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.

Why wouldn't get cought up in the ull? Just asking cause I don't know the answer. I know they have it going south of the ull. I was looking at the loops and thought I would ask. So sorry if it is a dumb question

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.
