Stormsfury I just saw Rich Johnnson at TWC and he said that the east shear has lessened in the last frames that he was showing because the fanning has appeared around the CDO he said.Do you see that happening?

The western side of Erika looks great ... poleward outflow channel enhanced by the ULL in the Desert SW with an upper vort swinging NNW around through New Mexico. However, it's apparent with RECON fixes that some easterly shear has impacted Erika ... note on the 1821z RECON fix ...
