Re: Tropical Karen forms in Southern Gulf, Hurricane & Tropical Storm Watches Issued

Yes, I can definitely make out the lower level vorticity (RGB Sat) to the west of the main convection, which convection appears to be waning at the moment. However, at the same time, the overall outflow is definitely improving. An amateur question, but . . . Could the emerging outflow make it more likely that convection will re-fire closer to the center and/or contribute to some stacking near the prospective eye? (assuming sheer remains constant)
