Not that this means much, but it might be a hint. Also, the QSCAT on the NRL site is getting more interesting as the night wears on.

keep in mind its nighttime and convection usually increases with systems like this due to increased instability created when the air cools and the water temperature remains constant. As far as whether or not its developing we have to wait until dawn for the visible imagery .IR is fine but ut tends to make systems look stronger than what they really are..

Thanks Mike. I had to make another (medical) emergency flight to Oregon this past week. Just got back late Wed night. Just in time, perhaps, judging by the Bahama blob

Good Point..No doubt Black and White IR is not good for night time viewing..I just happen to notice the first baby white blip actually associated with the spin since spotted.. Zoomed IR2 shows a more realistic view of the surface at night and shows the little spin well.

Hey Sgt,

happy to see you here. Looks like we have a contender in the Bahamas. Hope you're not sailing there soon.

a no not really, don't forget im only a drummer now, the first sgt is that guy with the glasses, i forget his name. Those systems in the Atlantic 75 pct of the time head nw or n or even ne, unless we can get a ridge to block it

You're still Sgt. Baker to us

Amazing that no tropical story has interfered with any of our re-enactments to date -- some pretty severe weather, but I don't recall any actual TS or 'Canes during an event.

Glad you're watching the tropics with S2K.
