Quote: I haven't looked at the wind profiles from the radar sites yet. But what you guys are describing could be something like a tornado. Upper circulation center in one location and lower circulation center in another location. I see the Hot towers in the GOM south of Dauphin Island,AL and the visible sats indicate a circulation just north of Hugh. One other note is in the loops of XTD 5. Have you noticed the loops are spinning clockwise... anticyclonic. Meaning high pressure overhead. High over a low is a near perfect setup for convective development. Now to see if I can locate the centers.....
It's actually a bit NE of me, I think. Is there any historical information of situations where this has happened before? A TD rolling back into the Gulf?
