WOW!...For a minimal TS the circulation coverages of this system are enormous!...Look at the current visible from the NOAA site on the West ATL view. The low level circulation around what is clearly the focus of Noel is huge...I don't think I've ever seen any thing like this.





I think its more typical October.... late season storm.... we got a lot of factors in place... High Pressure, Low Pressure, Trough coming... that the large area doesn't really susprise me.... but this make for a tricky forecast... which most of the models are doing okay right now.... its not an exact science, but the forecast is looking good... been a few minor adjustments made, but for some of us, its been expected.... Shear is the next big factor for Noel i think.... before it gets beat up with the coming front.
