Per recon, the center has aligned. The shear hasn’t been enough to stop this progression so I’d be surprised if we didn’t get more short term intensification now that the vortex is fully upright.
Funny how quiet it is knowing this one is likely staying OTS.
After being a middling disappointment for so long, it's actually looking much better and resilient structurally. NHC forecasts it to be our first major of the season.
Right. Models aren't going to be able to pick out exact locations for something like this. It'll be interesting to see how close we get to maximizing potential. BOX just took their forecast up to 4-6" across much of central and eastern CT.
The images out of parts of RI are pretty crazy right now.
That's very helpful, thanks. Looking at the HREF, it's quite aggressive across CT. Even the mean is impressive. It looks like the max is just south of HFD.
Was just thinking the same thing. Maybe an upper level low in the Gulf so not quite tropical (or enough time to become tropical)?
Even the trough that kicks Earl OTS looks like it could become subtropical. The basin isn't dead that's for sure.
I'd be pretty surprised if there wasn't a good smoking in CT with this one. Still worry a little about SW CT, but I think they're good there too for a nice event.
