Looking at the gulf water vapor loop, it looks like Arlene's sucking in dry air like a vacuum. I don't think she'll make hurricane. She might even weaken.

I agree if this keeps up there may be a weaker system soon. Good news for those up north :D

It's almost like her southern half is eroding even more due to the dry air. If she makes it to cane status she will be the ugliest I've ever seen! Getting a heavy shower right now from a outflow associated with Arlene which I'm happy about (means I won't have to water anything this weekend :lol: ).

Dry air has been a issue.. but not much considering it has strengthened with shear as well.. The moisture that looked like it was going to wrap and engulf the center has really not happened and that is probably the affects of both shear and dry air...

I agree a double punch of shear and dry air. Good news for the North though :wink:

Pressure is just taking a nose dive no matter what is affecting her.

Just imagine if there had been no dry air or shear. This would be a monster right now. :eek:

Her tenacity puts a eerie start to the season. You are right, no dry air and we may have seen a similar instance as last year with Charley.

That's exactly what I was thinking. It'd be huge.

Any chance of that dry air making a comeback? Or if I took a really big hair dryer to Dauphin Island, pointed it southeast, and turned it on high heat---would that work??? All this deepening pressure and wobbling west is making me a little nervous! :eek:
