Looks like a hint of some less hostile winds, at least for a very short time as a small s/w ridge aloft seems to building close enough to Mindy before westerlies severely impinge on the system once again. Notice the upper level clouds just SSW of Mindy beginning to move NW instead of N or NNE which so badly sheared the LLCC earlier today.

The center of Mindy is exposed on the western edge of the Deep convection fairly easily seen on SW-IR Imagery.

The little low level swirl looks cool.

Such an ugly storm. I don't mind looking at just one big blob, but when the blob doesn't even cover the LLCC... just so ugly :(

Mindy, I think was classified on assumptions to begin with. Mindy deserves and ugly end to match its beginning.

The posts or stuff said are NOT an official forecast and my opinion alone. Please look to the NHC and NWS for official forecasts and products.

Model Runs Cheat Sheet:
GFS (5:30 AM/PM, 11:30 AM/PM)
HWRF, GFDL, UKMET, NAVGEM (6:30-8:00 AM/PM, 12:30-2:00 AM/PM)
ECMWF (1:45 AM/PM)
TCVN is a weighted averaged

Opinions my own.
