Arlene gaining momentum on the west.....

Looks this a.m. like Arlene is gaining traction on the west side of the system, unless I'm seeing things. Still a lot of dry air to the west, but not quite as menacing.

maybe you guys/gals can help me see what is supposed to be the center of convection, because just by looking at it, it "looks" like the center is far more east than where it is "supposed" to be. It "looks" like it is at 80W 20N. Help?

I haven't looked at the mid and upper structure of the storm, but often times with weak storms, you have stacking issues where the centers aren't all neat and tidy. Also, in cases of shear from the SW, you're ordinarily going to have storms firing up to the NE of the center.
