Re: TS Dolly Heads Toward Cozumel, Cristobal Drifts NE, Bertha Now Extratropical

Interesting loop. Dark spot forming in the middle of the pink... would laugh it off but it's in dead center of the strongest convection.

This storm took no time ramping up when the ULL weakened and makes me wonder what it will do over warm water in the GOM and think it will just nick the tip of the Yucatan at this rate though not sure... can't wait til 11 to read discussion and get some clarity on what is really going on.

note you can see the high aloft in the GOM on a few of the floaters now
