Yes, I see it... but only time will tell. By morning we will know whether that convection increases or not.

Karen's always been a pretty pathetic storm every time it's come around. Glad to see that'll be the case again, the Bahamas don't need this.

Cycloneye -- If you're online, how did PR do with the rain from Karen? I might have missed it/them, but I haven't seen any posts from you for a while -- which is very understandable if the rains were anything like they were here from Imelda...

UL conditions are improving.
ULL is moving quickly away from Karen.
Anticyclone has developed overhead.

Vorts are getting aligned as well.
Not entirely stacked, but much better than when Karen was passing over PR.

Now for the fly that has been in the ointment.

Nice roll starting up on TPW. Convergence is improving faster than what GFS was forecasting yesterday.
Interaction with Jerry is stretching out. Rubber band may break sooner than expected.
Looks like its setting up for a really good infeed from the Carib.

Seems the biggest kicker right now is the mid-level jet from the ULL interaction.
ULL is pulling away and there is some light convection in it.
And, it appears the anti-cyclone is beginning to influnece the mid-levels.
So, good chance this inhibition may slowly deteriorate.

IR showing a nice rotating hot tower going around a warm-core hole.
Just SW of the CoC.
Let's see if this persists.

Seems like the seconday Coriolis force I mentiioned before maybe saving Karen.
This is something I know is not programmed in the models and few people know about.
Perhaps some of the old-timers may like Stewart.
I derived it in an advanced mechanics class in college.
Other people may know about it strictly from observations.
I verified from a few observations.
One was a TC in this area about 10 years ago under severe shear. It ramped up to a Cat 2.
Another was Katrina in the GOM.

Latest GFS is showing a really good window of opportunity for Karen to intensify in about 72 hrs.
Ideal PV ring.
Classic, uninhibited feed of high-TPW air.

The big question is, will Karen then be strong enough to out gun the PV Streamer?

I go to bed with Karen looking pathetic. Then she says “I’m not dead yet!” Lol. Deep convection building again and looks the best she has in some time. Whether she can maintain that improved state? That’s the big question

I agree GCANE

ULL moving west a bit faster . Overall structure of Karen has dramatically improved just within the past 6-8 hours.

Karen is like one of those monsters from a horror movie. Just when you think she’s dead ... she rises again lol. But in all seriousness, definitely looks a lot healthier this a.m.

She certainly looks much better than when I went to bed last night. Deep convection is actually building closer to the center of circulation again, as the anticyclone is building over it this morning.

She is looking about as good as she ever has right now, even when she moved over PR. How long will this continue is the HUGE question obviously. Short term at least the next 36 hours or so, I have to say conditions look OK for Karen to maintain or even intensify some as that ULL continues to move out to the west a bit quicker than initially progged.

We'll see how this looks by Saturday morning. Lots of uncertainty from Saturday and beyond still on the table with Karen .....

FWIW, latest GFS brings Karen or whatever is left of her all the way or very close to the FL coast. Obviously that’s very far out in time though so things can certainly change

Karen continues to look much better on IR this morning. It actually has some shape and structure now instead of random thunderstorms and a naked swirl.
