Re: Fay crossing

It is possible that the MLC would give that radar presentation since that is where the bulk of the convection is. There is still rotation in the atmosphere and at the distance that Key West is at to southern Cuba, the dopplar picks up the upper level of the atmosphere which is why it is extremely suspect to use radar from large distances as a determination of actual movement. All it's telling you is that there are a lot of huge thunder clouds moving on shore in Cuba.
