It encountered dry air from the east and from the west. It was also appeared to deform from it's circular shape into an elongated troff

You can see the center again now that there's clutter.

So the only way to see the center of Don making LF is to increase the radar sensitivity mode, so we can see bugs swirl around!!! Cool! :arrowhead:

OK, wait-- whoa. Totally confused by that radar loop above. It looks like a nice cyclone-- except that it's totally undetectable on the ground. We are on the Bay, within 20 ft of the water, very near the center, and we haven't measured winds over 15 kt or more than a trace of rain.

EDIT: OK, so radar needs to be in princess-and-the-pea mode to see Don. That makes sense.

I'm interested on what the NHC has to say..

I bet they mention the Euro....maybe in an apologetic way...seeing as they seemingly discounted it in earlier discussions when talking about a decoupling of the LL and ML circulations it was depicting over several runs. And surely, the antecedent dry air at the surface and midlevels over the landfall area.

Things to remember as we move throught the rest of the season and beyond......always learning, no matter what skill level in this field...

The NWS shifted into clear air mode, Josh. You should be seeing a nice band of bugs in a few minutes....
