When is the next ASCAT? Scatterometer? Or something?

[chaser1]

Wernt there some new drones being introduced in the last year or two for additional recon? I'm sure they probably have distance limitations though

Looks to be improving to me.

[REDHurricane]

Still improving this morning, LLC trying to slide under the increased convection now, should definitely get named today if this persists for several more hours

Can we finnally say hello to Gordon? AL, 07, 2024091312, , BEST, 0, 192N, 383W, 35, 1006, TS

I sure hope so! I want this storm to hit 40 mph ridiculously bad for some reason!

[AnnularCane]

Tropical Tidbits is saying Tropical Storm Seven. For what it's worth?

How exciting!

[AnnularCane]

Hey, at least he got named. FINALLY! Poor little guy.

Sure looks like the LLC has moved under the bulk of the circulation or at least very close.

Time to give the Atlantic basin a gold star.

"You did it!"

Well, Gordon looks deserving of its name this a.m. Time will tell if it can survive its prime-time treacherous trek across the tropical Atlantic. I will say this much. 12Z ICON does intensify the storm while trending further west and south toward the end of its cycle. Possible threat to the Leeward's and P.R.?

[Teban54]

While Gordon is clearly sheared, this kind of convective activity probably isn't what most people expected from a storm in marginal conditions like this, especially given this season's history.

Center is separated from the convection this morning. ASCAT last evening did not have any wind higher than 30 kts. NHC should be downgrading it this morning.

Center is separated from the convection this morning. ASCAT last evening did not have any wind higher than 30 kts. NHC should be downgrading it this morning.

NHC still has it as a 40-kt TS:

Gordon's center is exposed and located west of its deep convection.
This structure is a symptom of the moderate westerly vertical wind
shear that continues to plague the tropical storm. Gordon is also
struggling with the entrainment of dry and stable airmass. Despite
these environmental challenges, a recent scatterometer pass shows
the cyclone maintaining 40 kt maximum sustained winds. This data is
the basis for the initial intensity of this advisory, and agrees
with a blend of the objective and subjective estimates. The
scatterometer pass also shows a lopsided wind field, with tropical
storm force winds limited to the northern semicircle of Gordon. In
the southern semicircle, winds are weak and the vortex shows signs
of elongation.
