What keeps the lower level circulation going when the upper level circulation is so distant? Asked a similar ? earlier today but no response. How do the two levels of circulation interact?
Not a whole lot. It just takes a little while to spin down. I used to know the math formula to figure the spin down time, but that was many years ago. Franklin is weakening as time goes on. This morning's IR loop shows the LLC continuing to collapse and then reform making small loops as it does.

"1985 hurricane gloria gives area gusts to 115mph shuts down NYSE area reported many pre mature births due to low pressure."
That's interesting..I had no idea low pressure effected births.
(Editted due to misuse of affect....it's so confusing)

Good morning. Well it looks like Franklin isn't any further south than late last night, but has moved northeast, and is looking weaker. I can see what you mean about the LLC reforming; looks like it kind of hops along to keep pace with the upper level convection. Does it seem this morning like the sheer is coming a little more from the west, and the convection is trying to climb east, albiet quite a didstance from the center of the LLC? Regardless I guess this week we'll see Franklin's long slow decline.
Can someone post good links to sat images showing the waves travelling off Africa and towards the Caribbean? I only know about the NOAA page of satellite links. May be a good time to learn about how to see these forming into TD.

Affect, not effect, would be the clearer choice in that sentence. However you could say that one effect of the low pressure was to induce more births.
Affect is a verb and in this case means to influence.
Using effect as a verb here, while not technically incorrect, has a slightly different and more limited meaning that is probably not the best word choice; while you could say that the low pressure effected the births that is more like saying it carried them out or implemented them, rather than caused them, as if the hurricane was a midwife. Effect is used more often as a noun, where it generally refers to a result.
let's keep the grammar police in the station...next post like this gets whacked ] 
Don't misunderstand - trying to be helpful by providing information when someone says that they are confused is not the same as being critical, especially when it is not presented in a negative or demeaning way. Many posts have less than ideal grammar or spelling and I have no interest in commenting on that in general, only providing information when it is requested. Remember if someone stated they were confused about a weather issue you would not hesitate to provide commentary. --Margie

Oh my goodness that looks like a little parade. So that's what someone meant last night by the conga line.
OK guess there will be a lot to watch and learn in the near future.
Thanks LI Phil and Random Chaos.

I give up. I looked it up on 2 websites...got the proper use and thought I had it nailed since affect is something you are going to do and effect is something that has happened...so I give up...

A lot of the storms that come off of Africa break up when hitting the ocean and never develop into anything.......thank goodness.
