It also looks like Erika is in a lake valley between two mountain ranges. It's pretty flat there until it emerges back over the ocean.

Kind of like if you have a pile of dirt in the middle of a plate and pour water in the plate water will go everywhere but that pile of dirt.


Can that sort of land interaction create a vortex?


No. There's too much other dynamics involved. It could allow a mid-level vortex to maintain itself, but that's not likely happening here.

I have a feeling Enriquillo Lake and the valley there is helping to tighten up the storm and the lake waters are being used to maintain its intensity.

Yeah, I'd say the microwave presentation is some kind of illusion. If it is an eyewall it's the most sudden eyewall I've ever seen develop. :lol:

That not a COC, that is just the structure of the thunderstorms. Just a picture in time...no more no less. Not a eyeWall or anything

Why not? The mid-level circulation of TC's often maintains itself quite well when passing over mountainous terrain. It's just that in most cases, due to higher clouds obscuring the mid-levels, we can't see the robust mid-level circulation riding along untouched as the mountains annihilate the LLC or LLCs. that's why the NHC says to focus on the mid-level swirl.

Well it looks nice if it were just spinning around that center point. if the winds are light you know it's just an illusion of organization. do we get any weather data from here that's current?

Even if it isn't a COC, isn't it a lot of convection south of where NHC just fixed a COC?

I'm sure that's just a gap of convention. No way she has developed an eyewall overland.

The temperatures of Lake Enriquillo are about 29C, as warm as tropical oceans. It might be playing some role...and that region is mostly wetlands, near or below sea level.

It is very clearly a COC at mid to upper levels. Otherwise our microwave satellites are useless. :)

Just because it looks like an eyewall doesn't mean it is an eyewall.

Surface reports conclude it is NOT at the surface
