my usual discaimer for images by me: this may be wrong and probably is.

EDIT: whoops, the image ended up kinda small :lol: anyway, the blue is ULL flow, the purple is the outflow boundary, the red is the storm rotation and the green is the POSSIBLE center.

Image

on the quikSCAT too... I see southerly wind flow, I see southeasterly wind flow, I see easterly wind flow; but where westerly and flow should be is light winds and in the general direction of east...

comments are not welcome: they are NEEDED! :wink:

What I mean't to say, was that this system has been a Tropical Cyclone since August 4, 2005

NHC quoted last night that there is and was an LLC with this storm.

It was a tropical storm last night.

Seems bizarre to claim a 50 mph storm that was declared a TS last night to just be developing a surface center...

seems bizzarre unless you are looking at it from purely a scientific perspective, and not a continuity or an enthusiasts perspective

Upgrading from TD to TS is not mere continuity and I wouldn't classify the NHC as having "an enthusiasts perspective."

the Dvorak technique dictated that assuming a TC meant an upgrade was required.

Recon should have been out there today to settle this once and for all. However, I have seen many systems like this, with Dvoraks at 3.0/3.0, and recon finds no surface circulation

There has been a "center" associated with this storm ever since its inception...The National Hurricane "Center" :lol: Sorry, I just couldn't help myself. I know it's hard to find the true center so the NHC is the only consistent center I can find regarding Irene, and even they have not been too consistent with this one!

And the Quikscat passes still are NOT showing a closed low.

They didn't with Category 4 Iris in 2001 either! Was that a 145 mph wave? Of course not. Irene is surely getting better organized.

Which gives further credence that the LLC has always been present because there is no way this system does not have a closed circulation right now.

It has a very well defined LLC by the visible. Some times the old way is the best way.

I tend to agree with the black dot which is to the south of the "center" . Convection is building around it now. The e=center is south of where the NHC has it!!

There is a center now I can see that. I agree with Ortt that is was an open wave a few days ago.
