Morning visible satellite images will be interesting. It is tough to tell for sure, but in looking at the RAMSDIS Floater loop, it would appear that Noel may have made landfall, is continuing on a general westward path and is currently crossing the Island Nation of Cuba. These images are always more difficult to make out in the evening, so I think I will wait til sunlight for confirmation...In the mean time, I am sharing the link with ya'll. In taking a look, you may agree. Side note...Noel is looking amight bit sheared this morning. I am growing curious that Noel may split again (Mid/Low level decouple). If so, the models may be picking up and tracking the Mid level vorticity. Today will be a telling and very interesting day.
