Re: Bertha... Status Quo?

Bertha no longer looks to be a definite recurve.
Models are not weakening the ridge as much as they were a couple days ago. As far as her appearance not being very cyclone like this 85ghz image of Bertha actually shows good structure at the surface. The dark blues are low level clouds that return the same temperature brightness as land. Microwave reflectivity will see through CDO and cirrus however these satellites are not geosyncronous and only update every 6 hours.
