ATL: ALBERTO - Post-Tropical

[tropicwatch]

Need someone to take over. Having some issues this morning.

[AdamFirst]

Eastward shift to Alberto helped SFL keeping rainbands from training across the peninsula. Over the Bahamas now

Severe bands are still rotating in. Had a tornado-warned storm within the last hour and now a severe-warned storm is currently over the Everglades tracking to the north.

[Dean4Storms]

Recon position of the center makes it a due north movement. So much for radar and satellite.

[rolltide]

Could the strong t-storms on the west side of the COC be pulling the COC more to the west to be underneath them?

[ScottNAtlanta]

The temperature difference inside vs outside of center of 4c says its warm core now...so it should be designated TS Alberto at next advisory.

[NDG]

Pressure down to 994mb!!!!

There is the movement so far from recon.And yes,is at 994 mbs.

Is weird where they had dropped the prior dropsone because they had found lower pressure to the NE of it at 84.25W.

Lotta dry air in there. Nearly 50 percent exposed on radar. Doubt it will strengthen

[ronjon]

Yes this might be one of lower rainfall total tropical cyclones due to all the dry air wrapping into the circulation. Perhaps daytime heating over the peninsula will fire up more storms this afternoon.

For us on the West coast though Ronjon our total rainfall from since about May 13 is probably off the charts. I still dont think our water temp has hit 80. I am ready for summer!

[NDG]

Dry air is really choking the LLC now.

[MidnightRain]

I guess the dry air and shear is giving the illusion on radar that it's heading NW when it's not.

According to buoy readings this morning. Water temp around Panama City is 81 to 82 degrees.

[tarheelprogrammer]

This storm is going to struggle mightily to say the least. I figured there was no way it would shake that dry air around it. I was right. Good news indeed for you guys in the GOM.

[Dean4Storms]

It's fascinating that with both the dry air and the coolers SST's it dropped 3mb under an hour. Think it has a good shot once it reaches warmer water to strengthen a good bit.

[canefan]

I agree. This is a scrappy system. I think it is too early to write it off yet. Plenty of time to continue to get its act together and warmer waters ahead of it.

[Sanibel]

Blowing pretty good here all night...Wind knocking at my window...TS-like conditions...

Talking Tampa Bay waters. Weve yet to hit 80. North Gulf coast waters are warmer

[Sanibel]

Blowin pretty good down here...Not a weak system...
