Sooner got the link handy?

I don't see what you are predicting
happening.

First, I woke up just awhile ago after a long night, and I checked the co-ordinates, and I didn't know what the heck was going on as groggy as I was, but then I watched a loop through the night and saw the center switch...tough luck.

And Kevin, it likely won't have a significant impact on the track--the center isn't that far out of the cone from the previous center, and besides, with an LLC closer to the convection, that could induce strengthening, which would enhance the westward clip in the northern movement.

I thought stronger systems were pulled poleward? Please explain. Thanks

That is true..somewhat at least..if you have a storm in the Atlantic with a generally westward movement under weak ridging or any troughing. In this case, the interaction with the ridge would be enhanced if the storm were stronger (pressure-wise not wind speed-wise).

casper, sorry about the slow response. I got tied up doing something else.

The link to see the visible loop is

http://weather.msfc.nasa.gov/GOES/goeseastconus.html

Once there, in the options you want a 25 image loop rather than a still, you want about 75% quality and a long/lat map. Click just west of the big blob of convection to the east of the center, and the animation will load at 1 km resolution. It may take a while, but after the animation has fully loaded, then click on the faster button 4-5 times to make what's happening more noticeable.

There was a circulation at maybe 85.2W24N, now it appears to have jumped to a new center now near due north of there, close to 25N.

Note: Link has been fixed.

ok thanks. Thats what I thought :wink:

I'm looking at Key West extended range radar in our radar program. Radar beam height near 85W is close to 40,000 ft., so I doubt you're seeing any surface center between 84-85W on Key West radar.

I did see that small eddy rotate out and southward a few hours ago. Currently (12pm CDT) looks like the center is up around 25.4N/85.3W.

Thanks for the exact figure...I didn't have my "smileygram" handy and couldn't remember how for up it would be.
