At a minimum, the mid-level circulation looking more impressive than earlier.

Hurricane Hunters seem to be playing Whack-a-mole with Beta's center at the moment.

Center reforms be tricky like that.

Good thing that there is dry air and some decent shear keeping it in check because the circulation itself is pretty impressive

Awful lot of convergence going on out over the Gulf east of Beta, kinda looking south and SW of Mobile.

Beta also looks pretty damn healthy on radar and IR right now.



Huh

A few things on visible, this ongoing round of storms has rotated upshear (to the west and now SW, however, shear is weaking), low level cloud deck to the SW is getting thicker (sign of a moistening environment), some developing feeder bands to the north and NE. One negative, low level clouds just to the east are very spars and no signs of developing feeder band (indicating dry air is still very near to the circulation).

ETA: The key this afternoon will be to see if the dry air to the east of the circulation rotates in and chokes off convection or if the ongoing convective burst can wrap around and close off a core.

Such an interesting progression/development with how it has coped with the shear. The persistence in firing convection and trying to rotate it upshear has been an interesting follow.

Not as fun as the "naked swirl", however.

TIL:
Tropical Tidbits has an app. I had never seen it before, but it popped up on the screen, and I installed it. Pretty cool.

The Euro is still putting a lot of rain over SELA through Thursday. GFS is showing something similar. Get some enhanced convergence over the region and you get a rain band that kind of pulses in intensity and in exact location but just hangs over the region for days.

Then Beta is trying to cut off the dry air under a little blob of intense convection and make a somewhat improbable run toward hurricane...tropics are such fun.
