Re: Back To Life?

Clark:

I agree with everything you said about former TD 10 - the circulation does appear to have opened up, and what someone else characterized as banding features appear to be just convection being sheared away - but I have a question about the recon data.

Unless 2 planes are out there, it appears that recon is still very far west of the disturbance - at 66.3W as of the latest recon report:

URNT11 KNHC 181708
97779 16584 50199 66300 76200 25012 72741 /5761
RMK AF304 0110A INVEST OB 16

If so, then the fact that recon has sent back so many observation reports means nothing in terms of recon having trouble finding a circulation.

Am I reading this incorrectly?
