DARK- DARK RED COMING Back

Around the Core....Looking better,,,

[Lowpressure]

Northern eyewall area is interesting. Looks to almost be broken curently. Recon will be key. I do not think it looks any better through that loop at all. Just my opinion.

Yes the cyclone may possibly be undergoing an ERC if the NHC is correct about the radar showing a new Outer Eyewall Forming.

Thank god for the people in the path of this storm that it possibly is.

Looks like the eyewall is closed.

also looks like some shear is getting at her and she is brushing up against the high. Thats as far north as she will go IMHO. Land will knock her down a peg. Hopefully it weakens and Mexico isn't hit twice by a powerful storm

As far north as shell go???? Your kidding right? The NHC has her going much farther north than she is now....

I meant if you follow the periphery of the high IE she is brushing up against it.

Gotcha.

[Raebie]

Sure looks like she's going through an ERC to me...

could be..

If you tally up all the ERC posts here...Emily would have been going through one its entire lifecycle, and thats just not possible.

true.

[gkrangers]

Heck...its possible its undergone or undergoing internal cycles we have yet to pick up on and identify....

Does the amount of rain in the storm effect how well the radar reads? I ask that because the radar never seems to show as wicked a looking storm as satellite and I know locally our radar is about 25 miles east of us and once the storm passes us here often it looks very weak because the radar can't read as well in heavy rain. Is that true of all radars or just our crappy Hillbilly one here?

Hey. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Yes, heavy precipiation can and does prevent the signal from accurately passing through the entire system.

Radar has a hard time penetrating to the far side of the storm when its far away.

The higher the cloud tops (stronger precip.) are the harder it is for the radar to "see" whats beyond them.

Correct me if I'm wrong... I think it's called Attenuation.

Correct.

Not quite. It's too early. Looks like it may be finished in a few hours, strengthening right into landfall.
