Re: Subtropical Storm Gabrielle Forms Southeast of the Carolinas

Hmm, now I am confused

Quickscat ( http://manati.orbit.nesdis.noaa.gov/storm_at_image21/latest_at_0.html ) is showing the center of rotation at 76W 32N but the IR is showing the convection centered about 76.5W 33N with the quickscat position entirely exposed.

This would indicate either strong shear or continued subtropical state (NHC classified it as Tropical today).

Anyone have tips on this discrepancy?
