Re: Remnants of TD5 - Are the Models Wrong?

I haven't looked at the wind profiles from the radar sites yet. But what you guys are describing could be something like a tornado.
Upper circulation center in one location and lower circulation center in another location.
I see the Hot towers in the GOM south of Dauphin Island,AL and the visible sats indicate a circulation just north of Hugh. One other note is in the loops of XTD 5.
Have you noticed the loops are spinning clockwise... anticyclonic. Meaning high pressure overhead.
High over a low is a near perfect setup for convective development.
Now to see if I can locate the centers.....




It's actually a bit NE of me, I think.
Is there any historical information of situations where this has happened before? A TD rolling back into the Gulf?
