take a closer look at the infrared satellite loop..don't look at the convection near s. florida, look at the circulation west of that.
I see it around 23.5N and 87W...I am starting to see thunderstorm activity forming to the northeast and southwest of the center.

No way,
The center is now crossing back over 33N
They haven't put there 2am out yet,
There will be a track change

Well, 2am is out and marks the center at 33.5 N...75.9 W; I'm assuming this is based on the recon mission. Interesting how this corresponds neither with the quickscat nor the convection. It is now NE of the convective center which is now down about 33N 76.5W.

Well here is what I see from NOAA:

based on the level II data from MHX... the low level center has no storms around the center... completely exposed to me... the mid-upp part of the system is to the SW of the low level center... the system is looking pretty bad to me right now... there are no storms around the center... and its over the gulf stream.. looks to me... shear is getting Gabrielle right now... that could change later on this morning...
recon is just to the east of Morehead city... heading back to the south... *actually recon was about 2 miles off of Cape Lookout, the old lighthouse there... they turned toward the beach some on last part of the data i got...**
attached image... redline is basically the flight path of current recon***

Where's Gabrielle? Seems like everyone is having trouble with it tonight.
The 11pm discussion mentioned that the low level center appeared to be displaced from a mid-level center that spun-up in the convective flare-up earlier this evening. The latest recon fix confirmed this. Satellite isn't a good tool to be using for finding a center at night given these considerations; you simply cannot see the low-levels. Even the available radars -- Wilmington and Morehead City, NC -- are looking at 11000ft+ and 6000ft+, respectively. Despite that, they do show the remnant midlevel circulation to the WSW/SW of the actual low-level center, just now coming into view on Morehead City radar and as fixed by recon lately.
As for QuikSCAT -- that pass is a few hours old and the high-res pass and ambiguities both suggest the center is in the NE area of that broader circulation, which would be consistent back to around 7p ET when the pass captured the storm.
Is it possible that the low level center can or will reform underneath that convective flareup? Perhaps. But, it has not yet done so and the convective flareup -- and associated mid-level center -- appear to be weakening from latest radar trends. Overall, focus on the recon fixes and what radar tell you before anything from satellite, especially given the eclipse period of the satellite during this time of the evening.
Hope this helps clear the confusion on Gabrielle.
NOTE on 90L: please take all 90L discussion to the Storm Forum and Forecast Lounge for now. Let's keep things on topic for our landfalling storm in this thread; 90L is currently broad, disorganized, and there's not a lot to suggest development from it in the next day or two. If you'd like to discuss it as a future threat, please check out the thread in the Forecast Lounge. Once Gabrielle moves out or development looks more likely from 90L (currently it is fairly low on the development scale), we'll open things up a bit more. Thanks for your cooperation.

6:45 sat shot is up... check out Gabrielle... she's taking a beating... the got sheared, i think do to the ULL to the SSW... **the structure now looks almost like alot of those hurricane icons graphics out there***  << like that one... the is MUCH smaller and there looks like there is another round of convection trying to go... its to the SW of the center, from what i can see on Level II data from MHX... seems the system took a beating last evening?

Am on Ocracoke island (tip of outer banks below Hatteras). Rain and moderate winds, but certainly not more than that (yet). Rips were moderate to strong yesterday along the coast near the channel with Portsmouth Island along the Southern edge of Ocracoke.

If she stays offshore that will probably be the extent of it.Waves will keep coming up as it moves NE.
Getting busy now. 91L is up now and possible 92L forming around 57W south of 20N

Please see the 2007 Forecast Lounge for the current post on the other 3 currently active systems.
90L in the GOM.
91L in the Eastern Atlantic
92L in the Mid Atlantic.( at 1PM EDT Sunday this system appears to be the earliest, 5 Day, threat to Florida~danielw)
