Re: Bertha... Status Quo?

Is this new view of Bertha a matter of shear or is she moving more to the left/west and less to the wnw?

Her convection is very bright further to the south and her appearance is not very cyclone like. She looks more like a comet in space. However, on this loop below you see her whole circulation better.

Is she having problems because of cooler water temps, shear or fast forward speed?

On one hand the fast forward speed hurts her and yet on the other hand it will get her to warmer water faster.
