Re: Hurricane Alex

The plane is leaving the storm. I was hoping they'd give another fix before they left.

Appears there may be a problem with GOES east. I've tried 2 different sources and I'm getting missed frames.
However, last frame on 91L shows white tops,NE quad, on the IR loop.
Appears that the western side of the overall circ. is over the Antilles now. I can't tell if it's associated with high pressure overhead, southerly shear in advance, or some other pressure gradient. Lower clouds over the Antilles are moving to the NNE, while the higher clouds are moving in the general direction of W. The higher clouds appear to be moving at the same speed as 91L.
