That's upper level dry air in your image. Mid-level is much more important so I'm posting the mid-level dry air from CIMSS. And that dry air has been in front of Dorian all the way back since Dorian first started out. They are both moving forward at the same speed and continue to do so. that is why Dorian has not ingested much of it at all and probably won't tonight either.

you can tell that she is starting to fire a bit of convection last 2 frames or so.. in comparison to frames before.. maybe it is just my imagination

Yeah I'm having a hard time believing the Caribbean cruiser idea. The probability of that is very low as we have seen in the past with systems like this. I'm guessing recurve like the majority of storms at this lattitude at this time of year. I really think some weakness will tug this poleward before it hits the Conus or very close to the Conus. Lots of time to watch the models waffle back and forth.

Not an official forecast.

Yeah I had the 12Z posted for about 30 seconds and then I corrected it but not quick enough before you noticed! :)

Hmmm. We almost always agree but I don't see it this time, Aric.



watch the loop. the earlier convection (and MLC) has been lagging back and there is another small area of convection trying to build ... you can see the convection flowing the llc ...

and latest microwave confirms llc far western edge of convection. though convection will likely again burst over the center soon and same will happen till the low level shear lessens

I couldn't agree with you more. This one is either a full recurve, or maybe New England/Nova Scotia.

Still think mid level winds and the dry air coming in from north are winning out now. And the forward speed of 20mph its just to fast I think for vertical structure to improve for the near term.

There is no dry air to the north. There's some to the west but it's moving ahead at the same speed that Dorian is.

I think the nhc will keep the intensity the same until a recon gets there unless it really dies

Ok, I see what you're saying. It's cat and mouse with the lower and mid-levels. And it does look like convection is getting back over the center again. This is clearly causing symmetry/stacking problems. The other big problem for symmetry and somewhat for stacking is that you can see a weakness in the ridge to the northwest that Dorian is getting a little pulled into. Meanwhile the main ridge to the northeast is building southwestward quickly and pushing it west. Between the two this storm is wavering in forward direction from west to west-northwest. That dynamic wasn't present earlier today and I think that is why it has lost some symmetry as it gets pulled in two directions. But it seems to be handling it overall pretty well. And it is increasing in overall circulation envelope size now.

Dorian is hanging in there. Remember we can expect some decent fluctuations with such a small system in a marginal environment in relatively short periods of time.

[quote="northjaxpro
I know Decomdoug. I mentioned this earlier today and I will state again that tiny systems like Dorian can be extremely difficult to forecast. Dorian just may be one of these type of systems that will defy the surroundings around him and maintain on his trek across the Atlantic. I agree with wxman57 in that if Dorian can survive the next
3 to 4 days, I think the environment will be conducive for strengthening once the cy lone gets pass 70 degrees Longitude. Of course, that is provided if Dorian will stay north of the Caribbean islands by Monday.[/quote]

I agree, the SAL is mostly in the upper layer of the atmosphere and there could be a lot more moisture under the SAL then what we are seeing or at least enough to sustain Dorian in the short term.


Just read ozonepete's post at 9:40, He beat me and said it much better.
