Emily looking worse on satellite...

Please forgive a newbie question.....I have seen this referred to in a couple of places here. What makes the "area further South" so disruptive to a system's development?

....BTW, finally registered here after lurking and learning from you guys for the past 10 months or so (found this site during Ivan).
Ya'lls info has been very helpful to me here at work, as I have to "work thru" these storms here in the Mobile area.


well first of all it could run into central America and then do nothing to the US. the main thing though that limits the potential of a storm further south is that as you get closer to the equator there is less of the Coriolus Effect working on it which means less rotation

There's always gotta be at least one sacrificial lamb....Emily may be it. She looks pathetic at the moment. Yesterday the convection started bombing as the sun went down...let's see if the same thing happens today.

Improving on latest frames.


Emily is still 267*


Center is near 11.05


Looks like all systems go after slight stall...

What frames, I see convection spit out to the NW, but its well removed from center. Lets see what it looks like in 6 hours.

This due west course (with the center seeming to adjust itself a touch more south on occasion) is really not good for her health. She badly needs a turn to the northwest for her situation to improve. Right now she is looking a little parched...

Beautiful structure...Just because this thing has been waining in convection is no reason to state..."ITS DYING" it most certainly is not dying. Its in one of those periods systems that are still relativley low in strength go thru where convection wains only to come back.

Yeah, the outflow and overall structure is beautiful. Emily is not dead yet.
Wait for the convective maximum tonight, it could all come back...

By looking at the water vapor floater, it looks like Emily is about to ingest a lot of dry that is to it's west; however, I do not know what level of the atmosphere that it is at in relation to Emily, or if she will actually cross paths with this.

Not too sure if that'll happen. Emily and that patch of dry air have been moving together towards the west. If Emily accelerates tho, it could start to gobble it up, I suppose.

We'll probably see posts about the big blow up of convection that will inevitably happen soon.

Wnghs has it right. That structure is fine. It is very vulnerable to the graveyard effect right now, but if it was being seriously affected it would open more in a line instead of having that excellent swirl...
