Not sure what happened. It's definitely the biggest convective blob of the season. IDK why it can't form an eye. No obvious shear or dry air. We'll have to postpone the high end 4 until tomorrow.

There's clearly another convective blast incoming and the last one still hasn't died. IR is going to run out of colors. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The blob is symmetrical and nicer looking than earlier but the center or circulation is off near the eastern edge of it. Hopefully shear continues to abate.

I will say that given the relatively tight spread (given the circumstances here) of the EPS members I'm certainly not going to blow off the possibility of a Sandy-style left hook. In fact, given that a few members of the CMC and UKMET ensembles also show the tug back westward I'd actually give this possibility some well earned weight. We'll see happens.

It helped that Sandy was in the Caribbean to begin with rather than in the central Atlantic. If the Euro solution does develop then it'll probably impact Canada a la Juan. The chance of it getting even as far west as Maine are very low (5-10%). 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CheeselandSkies Posted September 17, 2020 I notice NHC shows it losing longitude at the 120HR point as it approaches 40N. Do they have a reason for discounting the model solutions showing it getting captured and yanked west other than "I don't even wanna go there"? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hc7 Posted September 17, 2020 Man some of the posts in here just from the last 12 hours are already aging like milk . Some people have been way too quick to write systems off this season. Teddy has had at least major written all over him since last night regardless of a minor sluggish tempo, a CDG wrapped nearly all around since last night is almost always indicative of a system that goes for major status. Plus it never really lost a fairly impressive IR presentation. Consistency is overrated, Teddy was clearly just taking a little break before making his big push today, recon goes in later this afternoon and I wouldn’t be surprised at all if they find a Major(actually decent shot they find a cat 4 by the time they fly in there). A strengthening one at that too. Nothing to stop Teddy once it fully closes off that eye and starts to really turn it up. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Convection is warming a little due to the time of day, but the appearance is improving rapidly and the eye is almost clear. Sally was a tropical storm when she had her deepest convection, and when she was on the cusp of a cat 3 it was actually a fair bit warmer Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
