Re: alma inland

Them, there cloud tops are warming a bit in the western Caribbean, so it may not look as impressive by morning. However, this is a transition period more than likely and these things take time, so not surpprising. The overall circulation envelope has been broad for Alma all along and spread well into the Caribbean (Thanks to the monsoon trough she evolved in). Albiet, she remained small and compact within this envelope. That envelope remained large. On the shortwave tonight, I can see that not only land affected Alma, but so did this Caribbean weather. Alma's remanants on shortwave resemble an elongated trough, which now extends from her old center and off to the NE into the extreme western Caribbean. Even her core convection has been drwn sharptly Eastward this evening. Stay tuned...cause these things take time, but the focus may shift to the Carribean and a freash new system may evolve. TONS of uncertainty as Alma's core circulation spins down and dies a mountainous death, but it is definately possible to see something new in the Caribbean based on this unique environment .
