Strong Cell on Microwave
Posted by JAC on 9/7/2010, 7:40 am
With moderate to high rain rate.

Some cirrus but no overshooting tops on visible.

Seems to be a shear driven MCS running in about 15 knots of shear.

Just about the right amount to drive deep convection and heat up a core.

IR showing a decent surrounding of stratiform precip for creating a pouch.

Anticyclone to the NE which could reposition itself over the convection as the updraft continues.

This could allow a transition to a TC.
