Re: Last Advisory Written on Barbara

Joshua, I believe what you are following is merely a remnant insignificant spin left over most likely from one of those convective complexes that flared up around Barbara. Barbara is actually still relatively intact, and shifted west, overnight, and then more southwesterly this morning. Presently, Barbara's low level circulation and directly associated weather is back inland, now located approximately 18.5N 95.5W, and it appears that the system may be in the process of doing a loop, should it survive.

It looks that NHC has chosen operationally to follow this feature as a trof, and has expressed it as such in the TWD.

However, there is some understandable inconsistency among the various agencies. For example, xBarbara is also now being tracked as Invest 90L
