Re: Center reforming?

Exactly... the center of Fay is currently exposed and well away from any mid/upper level convection. Amazingly it has kept its tight spin together thoughout the evening even after running into highly mountainous Hispanola. We had a very broad circulation center when it entered and a now tight one as it exited. We are also beginning to see that convection is starting to wrap around the CoC so re-intensification is starting already. We now wait to see when the jog north will start to occur as this will once again place the center over land. If she stays out below the Cuban coast (as the NHC is currently predicting for the next 36 hours), then makes a rapid northward turn this will limit land interaction and make those on both So.Fla coasts very uneasy.
