ISABEL SHOWING MUCH MORE CONVECTION IN.........

#1 Postby dixiebreeze » Tue Sep 09, 2003 1:38 pm

THE SE AND SW QUADS. A RESULT OF THE RIDGE PERHAPS? OR A TREND SOON TO THE W AND MAYBE SW? APPRECIATE ANALYSIS.

Dixie.. if she's showing more convection.. that could also mean a bad word.. MORE STRENGTHENING.. You never know, she's a borderline Cat 5 just about already...

Isabel will be somebody's problem.. the question is who.. as it ever so nicely treks across the Atlantic..

Florida-Carolina's watch out..

JO, MY POINT WAS: WHY SO MUCH MORE IN THE SE AND SW QUADS AS OPPOSED TO THE NE & NW.

Increase in convection versus expansion of that side

I would be more concerned if I saw the clouds begin to expand outward as to indicating a sign of direction change. Increase in convection may just indicate more fuel on that side. AT least that is an amateur's opinion.

Colin - that may be true, but IF it does make landfall on the U.S. East Coast (and that is only an IF at this point) - it would probably hit somewhere between south Florida and Cape Hatteras. And this is where it would cause the most problems from wind/storm surge. Afterwards, it could possibly affect the entire east coast - but would be a weakening storm.
