What website was that image from?  I thought coolwx, but can't find the location if so.

ECMWF stalls Hermine off of the Delmarva for a day or so. 

850's warm when it gets offshore, so it may develop tropical characteristics again.

last night's 00z ECMWF had Hermine (or post-tropical Hermine) near the Delmarva for 4 days. That would be quite the wave action and beach erosion if it was 970mb for 4 days.

Now the center of Hermine can be estimated based off KTBW radar, about 150 nautical miles from downtown St. Petersburg.

vertical wind profiler at KTBW now shows 50kt at 3000-4000 ft above ground.

The 12z Euro still has Hermine or what's left of her off the NJ coast next Thursday, as in a week from today.

An absolutely wonderful satellite imagery link I just was linked to -  http://climate.cod.edu/hanis/satellite/1km/index.php?type=Florida-vis-0-24 - you can loop it via the "loop" text under the "Auto-Refresh" text on the bottom of image.  I like the angle.  Feels like I can tell more about the movement.

Ooh, thanks for the link! It actually looks pretty good there.

Several 60+kts SFMR (up to 64kts) near the center with no rain contamination.

Yup. 

Could argue an upgrade.

What is the significance of rain contamination?

SMFR (Stepped Microwave Frequency Radiometer) senses high level microwaves emitted from the sea surface. If the sea surface is rough and foamy from high winds, more amounts of microwave energy are sent back to the aircraft. Rain can interfere with this microwaves, specially strong rain...in strong hurricanes the effect is negligible, but in weaker storms, it can be a bit more significant.
