Take a look at the recent rapid scan...it looks like a LLC has formed (quite strong as well ) to the SW of the Isle of Youth. You can see it very briefly when the old convection died out and before the new storms fired over it.

Yeah, I've been staring at that for like 10 min... it almost looks like there are three parallel arcs, but that's not a "normal" pattern.

That threw me off as well... at least partially could be attributed to the satellite sweep direction, but that three arcs are rather well defined...not sure if anything can be concluded from that.

Yea I think its just the satellite sweet direction that is causing the arcing pattern. We will probably be able to discern a lot more from the Cuban radar than this most recent TRMM pass.

I'm not sure... you can see the same pattern in the visible satellite

HPC discussion suggests their positioning/forecast of 90L is a product of the NHC forecast.

You can always count on the HWRF to make one of the most unrealistic scenarios that there could possibly be. :lol:

Can I repost this in 3 days?? ;)

HWRF has made some pretty big improvements in the last couple years. It has toned WAY down on it's supercane progs. That said, I made my forecast BEFORE this run came out, so I'm a bit biased that a model followed my thinking! :P
