why doesnt the quikscat show both circulations instead of one?

To me it shows an elongated circulation possibly encompassing both.

On closer examination here at work, it appears as though there is a broad circulation about 200 miles across, with possibly a few smaller vortices rotating around the inner perimeter. Such a configuration would make organization/intensification very slow.

A ship way south is reporting west winds.

Looks better organized this morning than it did yesterday. The NHC forecast seems reasonable. 98l and TD6 are now finally converging from a broader area of surface low pressure. We know the shear is lower NOW because there are big puffy cumulous clouds developing along the VERY EDGE of the trough that are NOT being being sheared off to the northeast.

For the future the ULL over Wisconson might very well keep a Bermuda high in place as per NHC forecast. A major hurricane traveling around the periphory of such a high will keep the S2K server busy.

Well on visible loop, it looks like the sw center became the dominant one....certainly broad, probably elongated, but it is a closed and vigorous LLC

If that SW center does varify, then that makes TD#6 the largest TD I've ever seen.

Dvorak T-Numbers have actually gone down. Probably due satellite appearance center being more elongated.

And the latitud position is more south than what the 5 AM adsvisory had (17.7n).

[HurricaneHunter914]

If that is where the center is now. Then how would that affect the track.

It looks like this storm is very typical of al the ones we've seen this season so far. I saw where someone described it in one word: "impotent". Its great news. This country and our neigbors, Mexico, Cuba and all the Carribean islands sure could use a break. The storm enthusiast in me has mixed feelings about it but even that side of my mind has had more than its share these last few years, so even it is not all that dissappointed in this season to date. The logical, fiscal and sensitive part of my mind is ecstatic that its been a mild season so far.

Having said all that I think there are 2 good things going on with this storm: 1 its not getting its act together intensity-wise. and 2. All the models are beginning to show a good potential for recurvature, in my opinion.

Now I know things can change and certainly have to be vigilant, but I like what I'm seeing from this season so far (at least most of me)

Any movement of the center to the south will cause a left bend in the forecast track and reduce the influence of any steering features to the north.

Reconsolidation to the north or east results in a right bend and closer interaction with any steering features that want to pull the system that way.

[jusforsean]

cant be good for the track i would imagime?? I would think that if it doesnt get pulled out and go out to sea a slower and lower track would give me concern? any thoughts?

[Thunder44]

I don't know what this means for 11am advisory. But 12z models have initialized this with 35kt winds and the header has changed to "TS Six"

Thunder,you know the drill here at storm2k.We always wait for the official information from NHC and not go ahead and rapidily post a information or change a title of a thread that later may not be the correct one.It's better to play it safe.

So it's a murderous Cylon?

(Sorry I couldn't help it. A bad attempt at some humor on this Tuesday that feels like a Monday.)

[Josephine96]

Slower track may also allow her to strengthen some, right?..

[canegrl04]

We could be looking at Florence heading toward South Florida.Maybe a GOM cane,if the center is SW

[canegrl04]

Depends.As long as the shear is low

[GeneratorPower]

Of course we could. But I don't think it's likely or unlikely. Simply a possibility.

Thanks for the thought, I hate these long trackers its like being pregnant , just give birth already!!!!!!!!!!! Anticipation is not good for me neither is not knowing, i like to know not wait 10 days, then i have 1/2 the neighborhood calling me "so, is it gonna come?" what am i a weather psychic , they think so! If they only knew how amature I really am!
