Re: Bertha Stalls SSE of Bermuda, Watching Two Other Things

A couple of other images (loops) which add even more evidence to the Dvorak-enhanced loop provided above that 94L is very nearly right on the cusp already tonight, and has quite a lot going for it.

10-hour Tropical ATL IR loop from NRL

Several days worth of TPW and h85 winds over the Tropical ATL (NRL loop).

As for T numbers, the Dvorak loop could be a little misleading. It should be very helpful to get a couple of clearer microwave passes overnight tonight, but guessing by the looks of things, 94L seems to be a little northwest of where NRL is pegging it right now... closer to the two balls of deepest convection which are a touch north of 10N, and if this is so, probably already up to a T number at or near 1.5
