center can be seen

the center can now be seen @125 miles SE of Brownsville, might make TD status in the morning. Thunderstorms trying to wrap around.

Yes it does look like it's trying to get better organized in the
last few satellite images before the dreaded eclipse blackout.

Agree also!

What's even worse is that the center appears to be moving due east. This would keep it away from the most severe shear and allow it to organize even more. My God, the ink on Jeb Bush's request to combine four storms into one is not even dry yet, please don't make him change that four into a five!!

:eek:

You can see something spinning on Brownsville radar:

That Brownsville Radar is going to be critical in tracking this thing during the blackout. The power is on here most places in the Panhandle but the infra-structure is weak to say the least. If we have to sit in the dark again for a week, my wife is going to make me move her back to Europe...

I'll either have to go back to Italy and contend with Volcanoes and Earthquakes (the latter of which can't be normally predicted), or go up to Poland where she's from and spend the rest of my life shoveling snow. Both of which are not appealing to a guy like me whose originally from Alabama....

If that radar is reading the center accurately, it is drifting east...

I guess I can't make out the center. What I think is the center doesn't seem to be moving.

I was thinking the same thing...Thought I seen one, but then the last few loops liked like there was another even closer to Brownsville..

I think it's starting to spin and you can see a center develping.
I also agree with the Eastward movement.

unfortunately so do some of the local mets here. They said Hybrid but that is still Rain!! :roll:

The convection is moving ENE. Looks like the "circulation" is moving little. The radar is not a good way to view this; neither is convective blowups. Visible satellite pictures will give us a better idea. Patience peoples :wink:

It's just far enough out from the radar site to not
give us a lot of help in seeing what "it" is.

Hence, recon.
