You guys are probably going to tell me I'm crazy. But the on the WV loop that swirl at 22N, 65W looks to be building up and sucking up the convection from TD8 and pulling it into itself.

Is that what is happening?


That upper level low has persisted for quite a while. It is imposing SWestery shear over Hannah for now. Whether it moves away from Hannah or not will determine whether or not Hannah remains viable. I would not be surprised to see Hannah downgraded at 5 PM.
