Early this AM she didn't look that good to me, but as the sun is comming up and the day is starting, she does look more organized. Let's see what she can do today!

Yeah, right after she looked down and out at 4am, Claudete began reorganizing. The center looks like it is reforming closer to the convection. I am concerned that the wind shear is forecast (by the GFS) to drop off today. Hopefully that big mass of dry air flowing south of out Texas will cap the convection soon.

Here's the latest high-res visible image with surface plots:

Surprise ... look at the outflow pattern ... almost a V-shaped divergence pattern (something seen in strong MCS in the US) and now the Southerly shear is lessening but becoming westerly... though, there's still some westerly shear ...

Furthermore, the center is not as exposed and showing some signs of tucking in more underneath the convection ... but going against Claudette ... the anticyclonic circulation is south of the massive convection of Cluadette seen on the IR channel

Wow. Looking at the vis. imagery this morning and it looks better. The center is very well defined and is much closer to the convection. Wonder what the new advisory will say?
