That's as bullish as you will see 57 for a weakend system like Karen. Doesn't mean it will develop.

You know he wants to pull the plug, clearly the potential for something significant and track to the West is still there...

Ring signature on rain-rate imagery indicates this is a long-duration vortical hot tower.

I often talk about downshear reformation/consolidation of LLCs in weak sheared systems such as this. In this case, it's sort of bass-ackwards by 180 degrees in the sense that the shear is out of NE, thus displacing the convection toward the SW. More often than not it's the other way around. So instead of watching for vortex consolidation farther NE into the convection, as what occurred in Dorian, it's not out of the realm of possibility that this could try and take place farther SW of track. or at least tug it a bit in that direction. This could shift the track westward some, decreasing the chance for an escape out to the NE. Not saying it will happen like this, especially since Karen really doesn't have a well-defined COC anymore. Just something to consider...

yeppers it rarely happens but looking at sat and RECON sure seems like center is at the very least getting pulled/reformed to the SW some.

Any particular reason why the storm is modeled to stay weak in the immediate (and forseeable) future?

I actually had this same thought this morning about it reforming to the SW...

From last NHC discussion:
The environment ahead of Karen is forecast to remain quite hostile,
with dry mid-level air and strong northeasterly shear continuing
overnight.

Oh, I want to pull the plug, all right. I've had 3 days off since August 18th. Getting up at 3:30am-4am every day is getting tiring. I have 9 comp days saved up that I'd like to take. Plus, the Bahamas certainly don't need another storm. Die, Karen, die! There, I feel better...

It appears to me Karen is holding together. Recon found a ~1008 mb closed LLC with plenty of westerly/southwesterly winds. Shear could also be decreasing slightly from earlier today as convection is firing and moving northward to the LLC.

18z SHIPS shows its downward from here in terms of shear. Of course, future land interaction with Peurto Rico lies ahead.

Ring structure is getting bigger.
Its trying to create a surface low and warm core.
If this keeps going for another couple hours, this will ramp up quickly.

Shear just to the west 100 miles is 10 to 15 kts less.

The modeling seems to be trending a little east before this west turn, however if you look at the NHC track it has been shifting very slightly to the west with each advisory.

This is not IR, its rain rate.
High rain rate creates quick mid-level latent heating creating a warm core which is the key ingredient for a TC.
