Re: Watching the Wave Near the Virgin Islands

remember a TD needs a well defined circulation and thunderstorms near its center. Yesterday the LLC was exposed to the WNW of the mass-thunderstorm complex. Today the center is still isnt well-defined but appears to be nearing the eastern tip of the DR. Its hard to tell the exact placement of the center. Recon hopefully will get a fix before it goes over land.

Remember its not how the system looks on IR and sometimes even on radar... if there is no well-defined center (LLC) then it wont be upgraded no matter how it looks.

When in doubt, take the word of the National Hurricane Center.
