Write off a tropical system, alot of people thought he'd be gone by now.

The point of this is to remind people, dont write a storm off until the final advisory is written, anything after that you dont have to eat crow for.

you never know what can happen, always keep that in mind. 8-)

When a system like Chris was so exposed this aftenoon when at one time you could barely even see the swirl they rarely come back.

Exactly. In fact, I'm not even convinced that the convection will stay until tomorrow. Don't forget about Cuba and Hispaniola! Downsloping winds from the mountains will entrain dry air into the circulation if Chris wanders too close.

I was just thinking the exact same thing a few hours ago.

I would of sworn that we learned not to just simply write off a storm last year...I could be wrong though, one thing Chris has taught me is that I dont do good without SLEEP...nighty night guys and gals :lol:

A storm can only blow up (as in RI) if it has an inner core. And an inner core takes low shear and time.

The truth is we will never learn. Our egos are too big. There's no way we could ever be wrong. :cheesy:

I didnt mean something like this, of course it wont explode into anything without more then a low cloud swirl and a few showers.

Hurricane Bud this year RI while at low tropical storm strength. Bud had a inner core when at 40 Knots?

I don't recall Bud but maybe. Inner cores don't have to be associated with strong TC's.
