"Naked swirl" runs out ahead of 91L . . .
Posted by Gianmarc on 8/1/2011, 9:56 am
Just looked at the visible loop this morning and correct me if I am wrong, but it sure looks to me that in the last few frames you see a low-level circulation shoot out from under the cluster of convection associated with 91L and begin to speed way out ahead of it--if that's what I think it is, this system is very poorly organized and the circulation we're seeing associated with the main blob of convection is only at the mid-level, and perhaps hopelessly so. The shear to its north, which the system is butting heads with at the moment, looks to be taking quite a toll . . .
