Just noticed from the plots on @cyclonicwx website that (per the Coral Reef dataset) the Atlantic MDR is the warmest (relative to average) that it's been all season. At some point you'd think this + MJO forcing would overcome stability, although mid-level dry air is still around. pic.twitter.com/XHanorzesh
