Tropical Storm Chris

[WindRunner]

The path does, however, look like one of their swerves at the center . . . something I've seen a lot of with Chris.

And I have a drop to decode/hand out in second.

[Stratosphere747]

Can't argue with the tenacity of Chris...

Good grief....

Notice the temperature gradient.

[Air Force Met]

Wow, the center did just get annihilated. Last few visible images it looks clean in there. Maybe the center is opening up. Still awaiting a vortex message.

It got it's weak little clock cleaned by that outflow boundry. All that nasty mid-trop dry air just cleared it out.

[x-y-no]

OK, maybe I got exited a little too fast ... 6 knots isn't anything to write home about ...


EDIT: Correction, 5 knots

[Grease Monkey]

Chris died before his time.

Surface: 1011mb, 10kts wind

[Windspeed]

Well 6kts is pretty slim pickings. I concede this surface circulation is in cardiac arrest.

I admit this has been fun. I don't think I've posted this much on here since last year.

Haha . . . and good job Brent, beat me to the vort.

Now on the southern leg.

[Air Force Met]

Good gravy. Pressure is still the same even...(considering it should go down a MB diurnally).

If this thing ever gets in a good environment...watch out.

[Andy_L]

he's not quite dead yet...its just a flesh wound!!!!

[Derek Ortt]

has moved slightly south of west, which would be expected as it has convection. Once it loses this convective activity, it'll go back to a WNW heading

[Air Force Met]

I don't care who you are...that's funny right there...

[Fusion13]

I wonder about what I see coming off Africa next...

[ConvergenceZone]

probably downgrade next advisory then

[WindRunner]

Sorry this one took so long . . . a lot to add.

Note the vortex is under convection!
