ATLANTIC: Tropical Storm Danny

[cdcollura]

Good day all,

Danny is barely a tropical storm ... But has made that northward turn.

This storm should not affect the US.

It appears that way. So much for that. Guess we'll have to sit and wait for the next one and hope the trough doesn't push it away too.

TS Danny's Naked!!

The latest VIS SAT clearly shows Danny's "naked" core circulation:

I imagine if you were able to strip down a major hurricane down to the bottom cloud layer, it would be close to what TS Danny looks like.

This has been a remarkable year climate/weather wise. I rarely see a storm in this part of the atlantic that is affected by the SAL/dry air like poor Danny.... The lack of water vapor in the atlantic basin as depicted by satelite this year seems abnormal to me. Most of the hype in the media centers around sea surface temps; clearly this is only a small piece of the puzzle that builds a large and powerful hurricane. All the ingredients just did'nt "fit" together for Danny to intesify despite the relatively warm waters nearby. Kind of similar to the busts during the spring...Lots of CAPE and moisture and no mid/upper support or vice versa...

This thing hasn't been a tropical storm since about 33 hours ago. Wonder why the NHC will not downgrade it when recon hasn't found anything to keep this a Tropical Storm. Time to focus on 94L cause it's looking like a Carib runner.

It looks like the COC slid between Block Island and Martha's Vineyard. We stayed dry all day in western CT. A fairly big forecast bust from as late as this morning.
