Good old X93L, been following it since it was a cluster of thunderstorms on the ITCZ, your right, about to crash into Honduras http://wwwghcc.msfc.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/get-goes?satellite=GOES-E%20CONUS&lat=15&lon=-83.5&zoom=1&type=Animation&info=vis.

It might graze the tip of Honduras and Nicaragua and slide into the BOC by the end of the weekend. I can't believe the shear maps. Like 50mph all over the place.

That's why I switched to the NAM storm on the GOM thread. At least that is in realm of possibilities, just waiting for another model to latch on.

They were right that deep convection was shear induced. But you have to remark on its juiciness and the monsoon-like convection "ring of fire" over Central America.
