It's undergoing SWrly shear I don't care if it wasn't analyzed on obs, It's clear as day on the WV loop. So much for perfect conditions.

Still deepening slowly though with the good TCHP

Yeah, surface convergence is lumped on the right ride of the system. The lack of a defined NW quad is what will hold this back for at least another twelve hours.

For those who care...

19L has been upgraded to Tony out in the middle of the Atlantic.

Three consecutive years with 19 storms. Pretty interesting.

In other news....

Looks like we have a stacked system with a developing eye according to the VDM

Sorry for the off topic post, but pretty impressive. Even more impressive? No major land falling 'cane in what? 7 years?

Amatueur question, here instead of many regional threads- since apparently some of the players are still over the somewhat data sparse Pacific, would it be a good idea to task a drone or G-IV for a Pacific data mission?

I think it would be a little late at this point since we'll have ROAB coverage soon.

If they could have tasked a mission about a day ago, that would have been great.

The NOGAPS hits the DelMarVa/NJ...

Satellite presentation beginning to improve dramatically, if we're going to see RI it should begin in an hour or two I think. Extremely cold cloud tops all over & the CDO becoming much better defined.

I would guess this is about a 75 MPH storm at the moment.

It looks pretty good-- like that core that's developing, and the outflow is nice-- and if it were moving WNW toward Belize I'd be freaking out over it.

But it's moving N, and you know that thing is gonna look fugly once it leaves the Caribbean. (Well... Icep*ssies will think it looks pretty, perhaps-- but any self-respectin' Tropical Dude won't dig it.)
