Imm I am not so sure.. look at the VW loop. The over all convection decreases and I wonder if the band is just outflow...

unsure - convection seems to start increasing at the end of the loop again?

Matt - I think that is outflow on the SW side - but something tells me that it is just too BIG to be outflow - now I am unsure

However, Nick does seem to be winding up again from the last 2 frames - but he was not looking too great in the 5- 8th frame of the loop and then that outflow / band feature forms...

You're assuming that the center is beneath the convection, which visible imagery indicated otherwise. The center has been exposed to the west of that convective mass all day. If anything, it looks weaker than this morning. Just a few hours ago, it put out another outflow boundary. I think it's barely hanging on to TS strength now. Certainly no hurricane tomorrow and maybe not Friday or Saturday.

I agree it looks like it's struggling. BTW wxman57 your signature is running out of time . I think Florida will remain lucky until next year!! :)

I'm with JB on the likely west Caribbean development in the next few weeks. You're not out of the woods yet. :wink:
