Re: Tropical Storm Arthur

66knot flight level winds on the last recon pass, doesn't translate to that at the surface, but still really high.

Re: Tropical Storm Arthur

Arthur appears to getting tugged east, towards and closer to if not possibly, ultimately into, the deeper convection.

CIMSS analyzes what is possibly a sweet pocket of much lower shear to the east. If the center reforms into the deep convection and if CIMSS is correct, that could easily open the hurricane door.
