The MLC may have tilted, but it did not decouple. Decoupling would have resulted in an entirely different looking satellite presentation. you're right. my use of terminology was poor. I meant to say displaced. in other words, the system was not fully vertically stacked

It looked to my untrained eye that there was a little bit of tilting to the NW of the circulation, at least for a while earlier today where the MLC became decoupled. I think the conditions in the last 24-30 hours haven't been ideal once it fully got away from having any land interaction affecting dry air ingestion and inflow, but conditions are improving for a 24-36 hour window, and I imagine we will see the core tighten up and stabilize tomorrow. I don't necessarily think that means intensification, but at least a better internal structure.

I think timestamps are a better explanation of the discrepancy. Goes 16 hasn't updated in over an hour
