ATL: DON - Remnant - Discussion

[jasons2k]

Wow, the whole thing just evaporated as it made landfall. I've never seen anything like this, and I've been watching TCs carefully since 1984.

Here is a twitter from Jim Cantore:

Western part of circulation center with #don coming ashore near Baffin Bay. This thing died faster than Chesney's and Zellweger's marriage." Ha! Ha!

[HURAKAN]

latest radar, wow!

[cycloneye]

Thanks to Dave,HURAKAN,and others that helped with the posting of the data.

Are you ready for the next missions for 91L starting on Sunday?

[wxman57]

Total bust on the rain for CC but yes I'm thankful that nothing nasty happened. Everyone here says we're due a Hurricane, its been a long time.

No big swells right?

No, the wind field was too small and disorganized to produce any significant swell.

This looks like exactly what happened a couple of years ago when some tropical cyclone made landfall in the persian gulf and just evaporated because of dry air. Do you guys think that was the same case with Don

[HarlequinBoy]

Don't stone me for asking this, but was Don even a TS at landfall? I know the NHC will do their post-storm analysis and make track updates, but just speculation?

[tropicwatch]

Just got back on the computer, wow! I don't know if I have ever seen a tropical system make landfall and go poof!!! Simply amazing, maybe some of its energy will help fire of some storms during the day tomorrow.

Tropicwatch

[CrazyC83]

My guess: It was only a TD at landfall - 30 kt was the landfall intensity. Dropped from 50 to 40 to 30 in the last 12 hours.

[thetraveler]

I just pulled up the Brownfield radar and was amazed there wasnt any rain. I called my wife over to look at it. That was amazing. I have never seen anything like that. That just shows you just how dry we are here in Texas.

[PTrackerLA]

Looks like Corpus Christi turned the sensitive mode of the radar on and I can pick out the weak center about to move onshore: http://radar.weather.gov/radar.php?rid= ... 1&loop=yes

I honestly feel bad for those in Texas that were hoping for some much needed rainfall. Hopefully there's an overnight burst of rainfall but I'm not so sure after seeing the dry air literally eat this storm .

I don't think so.

With that dry air, even a Katrina-sized storm would be sucked dry overnight probably...

[HURAKAN]

You have to ask? LOL ... I'm pumped already!!!

[Dick Pache]

Don went inside a bar in Brownsville, If anyone finds him let me know

Or even a Tip-sized storm. Tropical Storm Edouard in 2008 was better than this. We at least got rain, the steady kind.
