Re: gustav looking strange on loops

The strongest convection... really the only strong convection that exists.... in Gustav is due south of Jamaica, FAR away from the LLC. Convection has at times tried to develop over the apparent LLC but it's been sheared off quickly.
All of the models in the world are useless in tracking a tropical cyclone if the cyclone ceases to exist, and while I expect Gustav to restrengthen over time, right now, it's barely alive in my judgement.
