Re: Tropical Storm Karl

ADT values are increasing, with the upper end strength of the storm now showing potential for 140kt winds. However, this is unlikely given the eye structure. Microwave has shown the eye clearly open south for the past 6 hours or so, and the eye has taken on a ragged appearance. There is no sign of an ERC taking place, either.

Recent motion (past 4 hours or so) has again trended west. Cloud tops have also cooled significantly over the past several hours.

Edit: Where are all our hurricane watchers? This is the 2nd big, beautiful storm in the last couple weeks and almost no one is showing up to talk about it!
