Is Henri Really Dead?

#1 Postby Tip » Tue Sep 09, 2003 1:34 pm

I have been watching the visable loops of the area today and a small eddy that came off the the SC Coast is now developing a low level swirl off the NC/SC border. No convection around the swirl, but some models want to develop Henri again.

Will Henri be coming back from the dead? I guess we shall see.

If anything at all were to develop, it would probably be more of a hybrid system...not purely tropical.

Pressure gradient between any low and a building high in the northeast could still mean some pretty gusty winds along the eastern seaborad though...even without a tropical system.

Here's a recent snapshot of Henri with a crude frontal analysis. Henri is now a frontal low. There's a 1026+ mb high to the north providing about a 25-30 kt gradient north and west of the front. Watched JB this morning, and I DO agree that if the NHC was calling it a TD 2 days ago then it isn't any different now. He's right there, but instead of calling it a TD now (as he wants to do), the NHC should have called it extratropical 2 days ago.

That said, such lows can definitely become tropical over time, so it's something to watch. Most models slip it northward into the NJ/NY area with time. If nothing else, could get sloppy up there.
