Can anybody pick out a spin on the radar?

No, I posted that more as a joke. But, I woud think that any time now we should be seeing some hint of rotation.

I made them myself using their "Build your own pictures" tool.

Just use the base one and manipulate the parameters.

AFM is there still a LLC or is he open?

So AFM or any other Mets u think this will reorganize as soon as it gets bac on water?

Just for the fact of the tenacity of Chris over the last few days, I would not be surprised to see some sense of re-organization when he gets back into the Gulf.

Still, IMO would be a Mexico threat, and a minimal extreme S Tx threat.

Slim chance but it could happen. Chris reminds me of a Horror actor that just won't die.

Seems academic with a Cuba crossing ahead of it.

the last intensity cycle which was 06Z the SHIPS maintained its belief this will become a hurricane. http://euler.atmos.colostate.edu/~vigh/ ... nsity1.png

Not completely academic because if it enters the GOM as a LLC it would have a much better chance of regenerating.

I don't think it has a LLC anymore...but if there is any part of the wave left...it has a chance over the GOM.

Big blowup over (supposed) LLC

AFM on the Key West long range it looks like it's still spinning, what do you think?

At that range you are looking at over 30,000 feet up. You will not be seeing the sfc.

That's a mighty nice bloom of convection starting over the straits ...

This Zombie might just have one more resurrection left ... :lol:

Pressure is on a downhill slide in the Keys.

blob looks to be moving in a general wnw motion... is chris gonna be the comeback player of the year??

Cyclenall · #5179 Postby **Cyclenall** » Sat Aug 05, 2006 7:56 pm

The funny part is it looks better now then it did when it was a weak tropical storm. No LLC though.

Rut-roh....looking pretty good as far as convection goes, wondering how it will look in the morning though.
