more recent.. a lot of lightning with the inner convection.. very heavy..

Was the UKMet from the other day onto something here, not tracking the center but that big convection blob?

I think the models were having issues with the two ridges. if Barry had not ingested so much dry air a couple days ago this would be a texas storm.. the two ridges are stronger at different levels of steering. a stronger system would have been likely steered more by the ridge to the NW and stayed on a more westerly to wsw track for longer.

You can see how much the center has contracted the last 48 hrs

First eye-like feature appears on IR. Need more frames to tell if it's a legit mid-level feature.

Where?? I don't ever remember seeing pink on these before, the (-80 -- -90) have they been there before?

All I really see is a big Heart pumping away.

Wut? Where are you seeing an eye at??

[Siker]

It's just that little clearing at 28N 91W. This is what happens when you obsess over each frame of 1 minute imagery haha. It's not a true eye but it's probably an area of subsidence related to the intense storms to the east.

Our blob has splint down the middle. What could have caused it to do that?

If that is an eye it's gonna be a wild night

Storm Mitosis, or very turbulent organization.

Energy might be spreading out. Winds appear a bit lower as per recon than earlier as well, and pressure is also up a bit.

Think we are beginning to see it transitioning to an eastern dominated convection storm as has been modeled

[lrak]

Seems we are playing in the Game of Thrones

[birddogsc]

Yes, the eastern side has something interesting going on...

[SunnyThoughts]

I agree, right side looks to be spinning as we would expect a storm/cane to do. The left side, well...I dont know. The entire thing sure doesn't look to be moving any closer to the coast...or moving anywhere for that matter. Maybe I've been looking at it too long.

Ok this is puzzling:

why did both recon planes leave ? something must have happened..

[aperson]

Large new tower with a prodigious amount of lightning going up. It's sending out a sizable gravity wave now.



The inner band of lightning with it appears to be pointing near where the center of circulation is.

I am right next to Keesler and I just heard a HH type plane take off

[hipshot]

What is an HH type aircraft?

[gfsperpendicular]

That weird little cold spot persists and has been there for 50 minutes now. Don't think it's actually an eye, but weird for sure.

That blob to his west reminds me of Matthew.
