Re: Earl and dry air

Earl appears to be fighting the dry air entrainment by placing a wall on the western side of the center.
Shaped like a croissant the western side is steadily gaining height while the NE Quadrant is eroded to a much lower height.
Notice the thin cirrus fingers on the western side. Dry air has abated somewhat, or dropped to lower levels, as they cover more of the western semicircle than a few hours ago.
