Tops are warming rapidly, and no signs of circulation, there's not much to it.

Adrian had a quick demise, but in terms of a hyped potential U.S.landfaller, I think Hurricane Debby getting abruptly "Hispanolated" in 2000 was one of the great disappearing acts in recent memory.

lets not forget that the same thing happened to Iris in the exact same area in 2001. It couldn't make it across, and it was a 125KT hurricane at landfall

How come some TC's can make it while others can't? I know the size of the circulation has alot to do with it, but it's got to be more than that.

size is a biggie as the larger systems can pull in moisture from both bodies of water.

Also, the faster the system moves, I believe, the less likely it is to make it due to increased frictional effects

I read somwhere Hurricane Kenna in 2002 rapidly dissipated after landfall. Went from a Category 4 to a remnant low in only 7 hours!
