Currently analyzed at 10m/s or roughly 20 knots...and not weakening any time soon. Look at the SHIPS text file...or really anything. 

 

 

You're looking at it real time and not trends. The shear to the north is weakening. Remember the image above is at at a exact time.

Not really true, the tendency maps show fluctuations that already occurred, look at current of forecasted shear maps to get a more accurate depiction.

Why is it that you must continue to focus on the negativity? :deadhorse:

We all know this has a long road ahead but you can not ignore recent model trends.

 

Negative? Probably because it matches exactly what we're seeing right now with regards to the displaced circulation, thus the initialization for this run is actually extremely accurate. Terribly sorry if facts come across as negativity...

Until this thing wants to stack better I think a less than positive outlook is warranted. I've seen this show before, sometimes these things never stack properly. As I said last night this storm is in ugly shape, the optimism for this system doesn't have much support ATM.

no model, nor anyone expects erika to vastly improve in organization/strength today or tomorrow.  literally every model shows an unorganized mess until it passes north of hispaniola.  the optimism comes from the ideal conditions waiting for the storm in the bahamas, not from storms popping south of the coc.  it is pretty simple.

Yeah if you mean in the short term then there is not much support for optimism. But as of the 12z runs (barring Euro changes), literally every model deepens this as it reaches the Bahamas. I think that's good support.

And if there's one thing I've learned from this board for 5 years is when there's good model consensus, they're typically right.
