Amazing indeed. Does anyone know the official records that this season has broken so far? A co-worker asked me earlier if all season were busy like this and I said NO, not normally until August or September. This season is CRAZY, 2004 phhhhttt....

Are you serious? This storm isn't even sheared, Arlene looked much worse in her early stages...couldn't even get convection over the center. We've had convection over the center, it just faded but now it's blowing up again. So no, I don't think it's pathetic, it's a brand new storm and fairly small in size.

The cirualtion has becomed more defined on the visible with pop corn convection forming over it. So yes it is slowly becoming better oreganized. That is my option.

The convection is in a minimum period. It'll flare up again. There is absolutely ZERO shear over the system.

Looks pretty good Rainband, also keep in mind because this system is pushing into a well established ridge there is probably some stronger winds than the pressure would indicate due to the pressure gradient taking place.

This systems tend to strenghten and get better organized during the night...there is actually a scientific reason for this...but I forget. :D

Thanks guys. I guess the visible shows it best. PT with all due respect my Bad I was looking at the IR and it did look sheared. Guess small storms are harder to understand. While I am a moderator..I am still learning. Thanks to those that give me the respect and info to do that. :wink:
